Because when we're in the middle of the moment and we've got blinders on, but we have this focus, we have a tendency to see things just as we think they are. But if we can step back and be curious about, well, if I look at it from this vantage point, what if, okay, if someone says something to you and you execute the yes, and. 22:54: ”It's not about reducing stress, we spend so much time focused on reducing stress. The only way you grow is through discomfort and disorder. So how do we make order out of the chaos inside a stressful situation? We have to increase our capacity to manage that stress. And to grow through those stressful situations and navigate it. That’s what resilient leaders do.” 23:28 “I firmly believe that problems are something that we don't know how to solve. And what a problem really is, is a creative opportunity, it's a creative opportunity for ourself and for our team to collaborate and share ideas.” 27:07 “You're a part of something bigger than yourself. And do you embrace your role and, not only embrace your role, that doesn't mean accept it. Like everyone says, oh, you better accept your role. No, don't accept it. Like, if this is what the team needs me to do right now, this is what I'm gonna do.” 32:58 “Like what is our singleness of purpose that we have every single day, and do we talk about it? Is that a conversation that we have? Or, are we living in a created environment where we're afraid to talk about it? Like we don't want to put ourselves out there. But your objectives have to be a shared vision.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl “That’s what I’ve discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day!. That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik Korem
