Business is the most competitive sport in the world

It’s not about one person’s brilliance ✨ (although brilliant he is), but the power of a well-crafted team / company strategy 🤝 . The result of shared goals, collaboration and everyone contributing their unique strengths. A solid foundation that propels teams to great heights! 🚀 If you want to know how to combine your teams talents to create something extraordinary, get in touch 🌟 #TeamSuccess #CollaborationWins #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #NailTheStrategy #FlyHigherAndFasterWithLessEffort  💪

"I can be very self-critical... that's probably one of the biggest... internal battles that I keep on fighting with myself– that I don't feel like I've done enough, that I haven't been enough..in my life, on and off the court." The best men's tennis player in the world who has won everything there is to win, still doubts if he is enough. We, as humans, can be brutal to ourselves. It is never about the accolades, the outward measures of success, the wealth we have, or anything else you can think of to fill in the blank. This is an internal struggle. An emotional one. Some say their self-criticism fuels them. They're afraid they would "lose their edge" if they were kind to themselves. But what good is it to achieve milestone after milestone, accolade after accolade, success after success, if you aren't proud of yourself in the process? Each day, I help people identify these critical mechanisms and learn what is fueling them. The result? Actual enjoyment. The accolades don't go away. The person's ability to perform doesn't go away. They just finally can acknowledge their achievements for themselves. And that is priceless. Watch the full interview with the link below https://lnkd.in/gNPzNSzX

Focus / Clear Goals This resonates with me, as a former GB rower and now a performance coach for rowing and businesses. I identify with and value everything being said. I often tell clients to "do one thing at 100% or 100 things at 1%," which usually captures their attention. Clear goals and priorities are crucial. Performance / Process Focusing on the process is incredibly important. It's about the environment, having the right tools, training, and support to make success inevitable. This involves people, processes, procedures, protocols, habits, and routines. It's not just about constant effort but also the context, which greatly affects performance and the sense of flow and mastery. Learning / Improving I fully endorse the importance of teamwork and extend that to learning, improving, experimenting, and adapting. It's not just about intense performance but also innovation. In rowing, it’s about technique rather than just how hard you can push. In business, it might involve systems and automation. There's a concept of "free speed"—things you can do to make everything easier without much cost.
