90% of coaching is helping people get out of their own way.
Do you want to perform at your best? Get out of your own way. Ego, fear of failure, status anxiety, a focus on the external instead of the internal.

Work hard
Strive for consistency over perfection
Find joy in the activity itself
Go on the journey with friends
Play the long game, instead of chasing short term results
Do that and you'll end up pretty dang good at whatever it is you are doing.

Chasing outcomes is often a recipe for disappointment.
When you focus on the process, you can find success even if the outcome isn't what you expected.
Do the small things each day & you'll develop better habits that will help you reach your goal in the long run.

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.
Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.
Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

You don’t need the perfect sleep score.
You don’t need to fear the occasional Chick-fil-A sandwich.
You need to show up, even when conditions aren’t perfect.

We often mistake being serious with being dedicated.
That's often not the case.
We are our most dedicated when we are having fun and experiencing joy
We often create teams & cultures devoid of joy in the misplaced notion that seriousness means we are more committed. It doesn't

Drop the Ego. Find People Who Know More.
The best coaches seek out wisdom from others.
Fiercely guarding your "secrets" backfires. Coaching comes from conversation. The more smart thinkers you're talking to, the clearer your thinking will be.

Research shows 5 major factors or resilience:
1. Accepting reality even if it's hard.
2. Asking for help.
3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not.
4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle.
5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.
