key takeaways:

  • leaders may not understand the nuances or fundamentals of mentoring and cultivating talent. as such, they find the biggest impediments to be themselves.
  • the conscious mind is where our thoughts are directed in such areas as logic, strategy, memory, learning, data analysis. however, 95% of our thoughts are directed by the subconscious mind, and only 5% by our conscious minds.
  • the subconscious mind is where the inner game of work, career, and life is really won — or lost.
  • there are some strategies you can use to train your mind to prepare yourself to experience an outcome and imagine ways to achieve that outcome.
  • in addition to training your mind to block negative thoughts and experience only positive thoughts, there are physical techniques that can be used.
