The Strangest Thing I’ve Seen in a While…
Hello Outperformer, If you’ve been reading my blog or social media posts for any amount of time, you know that I’m a big believer in health and fitness, and how it enhances your ability to Outperform. Strong body = strong mind = strong character, right? Last weekend I saw one of the strangest (and coolest)…
Want to Slow Down Time? Do This.
Hi Outperformer, I don’t spend a lot of time on Facebook but one of the things I find most interesting are the “memories.” If you’re unfamiliar, it’s an alert that tells you what you did on this day in other years of your life. For Sept 8th, I got three alerts: Last year I spoke…
THIS Comes Before Results…
Hello Outperformers, Our Outperforming movement is about paying tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. I’m so unoriginal. That is the wikipedia definition of Labor Day 🙂 I’ve always believed that to be the best for your community, company, or country, it starts with showing up…
Do Your Talking in the “Ring”
Hello Outperformers, Our Outperforming movement is about serving others and leading them to Outperform…the RIGHT way. Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said: “Your actions speak so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” Somewhere he’s rolling in his grave. I’m not a boxing or MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fan but there’s a huge fight going…
6 Keys to Peak Performance
This past week I’ve been putting the finishing touches on a program showing youth athletes how to succeed in sports…and in LIFE. It’s the culmination of everything I’ve learned in 15+ years studying peak performance. One of the modules is about “Getting in the Zone.” In sport psychology, this is like the holy grail. Many…
3 Ways Outperformers Generate Greater Presence
Hello Outperformers, When I’m speaking for a business or organization, I often say: “The greatest present we can give someone is our presence.” It might sound a bit corny but it’s the absolute truth. My earliest exposure to presence was playing golf growing up and my Mom telling me to “take it one shot at a time.” I…
The Top 10 Traits of Outperformers
Hello Outperformers, I’m sorry if I’ve been off the grid a bit lately. I won’t go into all the details because it’ll seem like a sob story, but the first half of the year has included the loss of my Mom, the loss of my dog, a major surgery for my Dad (thankfully, he’s recovering…
2 Keys to More Energy and Stamina
I did a webinar for a sales organization recently and I was talking about recharging your batteries for sustained high performance. Think about it – the term “peak performance” gets used a lot (especially in sports), but that only implies that we’re on our games SOME of the time. What are we doing during the…
What I Learned from Running 100 Miles (2-year anniversary)
Dear Outperformer, I can’t believe it has been two years since I ran 100 miles. Crazy how time flies and even crazier that I chose to attempt this feat in the first place. It’s, by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Physically, it was challenging. Mentally, it was excruciating. In reflecting…
The Mindset of Outperformers
Our Outperforming Movement is about high expectations…of ourselves. Have you ever considered yourself a perfectionist? If you haven’t, you’ve probably heard someone claim they are. It’s one of the most widely studied personality characteristics. Because of the cancer struggles with Mom, I’m trying to spend more time in MN and I decided to go back…
