SPEAKING TOPICS
10 Seconds of Courage
In '10 seconds of courage' Nadine outlines the strategies for 'facing your fear', understanding how 'strength comes from the mind' and enabling others to be strong. Nadine also addresses the highly symbolic 'it doesn't hurt less if you close your eyes' principle, the importance of being prepared to take risks and fail; and the '10 seconds of courage' principle.
Five Keys to Winning
The key factors in winning a fight relate to most of the battles we face in life, whether professional or personal. Being well prepared, truly knowing how badly you want to win, deciding what you're prepared to do, recovering from a knockdown and being a strong finisher, are all crucial elements of winning.
Changing Your Thinking
Business can feel like a full contact endeavour. Having the “mental edge” is often the key to success.
Why is it important to Change Your Thinking?
Research shows that we have approximately 48 thoughts per minute, which translates to almost 70,000 thoughts per day. We have a positive-negative asymmetry in our thinking process, so left unchecked our brains will focus more on the negative. Are you directing your thoughts or are they controlling you?
The only person who has the power to change your thinking is you.
Most humans share the same five fears:
Extinction, Mutilation, Loss of Autonomy, Operation and Ego Death.
Knowing this creates an opportunity to gain experience with moving beyond the fear towards courage.
It is important to avoid a fixed and static mindset in order to avoid being left behind due to an inability to seize the ever changing moment.
10 Seconds of Courage is the tool to use so you don’t miss opportunities due to natural human hesitation, doubt or trepidation.
No matter the size of the challenge (or metaphorical opponent), we can develop an inner dialogue of courage and resilience even against the greatest odds.
When we strive, we all reach a point of fatigue mentally and physically. Rest, recovery and accessing support are just as important as the ability to push yourself.
The times that leave us with sore mental muscles, bruises and scars are often the exact moments we become mentally tougher & more resilient. Used well, these marks of experience will aid you and add to your skillset.
Who is in your corner? Whose corner are you in?
Having the conversation can lead to a change in thinking.
Success in individual sports (or for brokers) still requires a good team in your corner.
Who else’s voice have you programmed into your thinking?
Have you chosen a strong mentor to aid your growth and challenge your least precision thought patterns?
On your best days, your thoughts are what drive you to greatness.
On your worst days, your thoughts will either break you or be the making of you.
If you can’t control the situation or the outcome, often the only thing you can control is how you respond to it. Change your thinking.
