“Great leaders have to be great teachers. We have to understand each individual and give them the right support to bring them up.” Chuen Chuen Yeo talks about the importance of knowing your people and supporting them the right way on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“We cannot achieve anything if we are alone. We have to learn to enlist other people into our costs, our mission. To do that, we might have to choose to slow down. When I look at things like speed vs. performance, a lot of leaders can do with more patience because in their hurry to get to the end state, they compromise things and they may lose a relationship that they can never repay.” Importance of relationships built on trust in leadership with Chuen Chuen Yeo on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“Performers have found a way to minimize chances of failure, but in their hearts, they have not embraced the truth that failure is part of any equation and learning experience. It doesn’t mean you are bad. It only just reflects that their approach is incorrect and it has informed you to do things differently. That’s a truth that people need to embrace to increase their resilience.” Chuen Chuen Yeo talks about working on being more resilient on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

PERSONALITY Unlock Your Limiting Beliefs

Our brains produce as many as 50,000 thoughts per day According to the National Science Foundation. 95% of those thoughts are repeated daily!

You have full control over how you think and what is a yes or a no, can or can’t and will or won’t.

What are limiting beliefs? They are there beliefs we create in our mind that prevent us from achieving our dreams and goals.

Limiting Beliefs are usually formed when we are young. Quite often between the ages of 5 and 12. They develop as a result of an event in our lives. It might be something we did, something someone else did or said to us. It might be the behaviours we witnessed every day in our lives

As we grow limiting beliefs become embedded in our mindset, unless we create interventions.

How do we recognise a limiting belief?

Awareness – does our belief move us forward or limit our potential?
Honest – is the story in our head actually true?
Facts – is there any evidence behind what you believe?
Pause – it is ok to acknowledge that you don’t have enough experience or resources at present, but it’s not ok to say therefore I can’t or won’t

We all have limiting beliefs. The key is to be able to recognize and then reframe.

It starts with a growth mindset – the belief that intelligence can be developed –through hard work, asking questions, experimenting and applying effective strategies.

I’s time to implement a high performance mindset:

High Performance Mindset

Awareness – create an awareness of your thoughts and beliefs?
Attention – where is your focus and what is your intention of focus?
Movement – Sam cawthorn “motion evokes emotion”
Delegation – outsource what doesn’t require your attention
Winner – mentality of winning
Achievement – celebrate small wins
Solution – not the problem
Why – self discovery of what is your purpose, dream and passion
Positive – mindset
Plan – Without a road map and a destination, how will you know you are going in the right direction?
