Escape from Your Fears! A conversation with Michelle Poler

When you decide to start an important quest, there will certainly be many questions on your head. Could I do it? Will I fail? Will I succeed? Am I able to? How will I?

When I met Michelle Poler after her TEDx Talk at the University of Houston, TX, she had already embarked on what became her life project: Facing her Fears. And for her it has been transformational.

How many fears do you have? Do you know? Are you doing something about them?

Some may be fear of failing, being rejected or not achieving, fear of not doing things right and so many others. If you constantly think that way, you will never do many of the things you want to do and achieve.

So, if you are determined to start, learn from your failures, face your fears, and finish strong you really have to get rid of your fears, even the simpler ones. This is what Michelle has taught us: you can Escape from Your Fears. As many have found, you can be afraid even of starting and taking action.

Performance is about Action, decisiveness, being fearless. This is what we talked about in this wonderful show, one which I called 'the fearless show' and during which Michelle told us how she even started, how to understand your fears and start to face and confront them.

For Michelle, that new idea turned '100 days without fear' into her new project "HELLO FEARS" that you can visit at: Hello Fears 

About Michelle Poler: originally from Caracas, Venezuela, is a graduate from the School of Visual Arts holding a master's degree in Branding. A few months ago, she quit her job as an Art Director to develop what started as a school project and turned into a life-changing experience.

Earlier this year, Michelle decided to face all of her fears and record herself for her project 100 Days Without Fear. She planned to become a braver person by the end of the 100 days, what she didn’t plan was to inspire millions along the way.

And as always, have an excellent and a very successful week!

‘Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution’: Celebrating Show #50

"Success is waking up in the morning and bounding out of bed because there's something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at - something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly 

wait to get at it again." 

-- Whit Hobbs

Become a Corporate Athlete; a conversation with Sheena Walker and Luis Vicente Garcia

What are the key habits of top athletes and performers? 

When you identify the key elements that define successful people and teams we need to relate our corporate world to sports. Athletes work on developing a plan and a strategy that will take them to become champions, to see themselves on the podium. 
They work on "Peak Performance".

This is what we also need to do in our organizations. From HR to IT to Finance or sales we all want a winning team with top performers. In many cases we need to help them grow into what Sheena Walker calls ‘The Corporate Athlete’. A person who is successful and who  has developed positive and successful habits and in doing so, changed their mindset and attitude. This is the concept of performance related to understanding how you and your team can generate positive results.

CHANGE has a positive impact on your Performance!

As we learn about how to improve our Performance we need to understand that learning about CHANGE is a critical and key ingredient for Success. 

We know that change happens!

I happens when we alter the form or nature of something; I will add, change happens when we alter the self-concept of someone as well. 

Basically, "Change" is always present in everything we do, whether it is in or personal or professional lives. It affects our society, our families and the companies we work and interact with. It affects technology, education and science. In summary, Change affects us all.

As George Bernard Shaw said:

“Progress is impossible without change, 

and those who cannot change their minds 

cannot change anything.” 

This is why understanding that change can have positive and everlasting implications in growth, evolution and transformation is extremely important in today’s world, as we all need the importance of a probably new concept: that we need to constantly be changing and adapting to the current market place.

Your Attitude for a Perfect Performance!

When we combine the definitions of ‘Attitude’ and ‘Performance’, we find a really interesting combination: one that allows us to focus, set our goals and particularly define how we want our mindset to work.

Attitude has been defined as the “manner or disposition with regards to a person or a thing”. However, when we look at its meaning from a performance point of view, it defines how we behave and what we feel towards a person, thing, company or market. This is why then the concept of Performance Attitude is a key ingredient of what you can do, how you behave and what you will be able to accomplish.

Join us on this episode of ‘Performance at Your Best’ as we explore how to combine the positive aspects of Performance and Attitude.

There are several words you can use to improve your positive attitude. Some of them are: Motivation, Optimism, Positive Attitude, Performance, Luis Vicente Garcia, Success, opportunities, and future.

Start today and have a stronger and more positive attitude. To listen: Click HERE!

Uplift Your Motivation

Motivation has been defined as the “act or instance of motivating or providing a reason to act in a certain way or to accomplish something”. 

So as a verb, it activates “action”.

Motivation is a key ingredient for success and we must understand that everything we do and dare to do, allow us to move forward no matter what happens to us, to fight adversity and to continue building and working to create our better future.

Being motivated is already a challenge by itself. This for you means: stay motivated every day to motivate and inspire others does matter.

As Coach Pat Railey once said: “a champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.”

I would add, we all need motivation above all.

Join me as we start understanding the importance of motivation for today’s challenges and opportunities.

Always use words such as: Motivation, Optimism, Positive Attitude, Performance, Luis Vicente Garcia, Success, opportunities, future

Transforming Dreams into Education for the Future!

When you visit StarShine Academy in one of the hardest hit areas in Phoenix, AZ you immediately understand that it is a place in which you live an amazing process of transformation, one that is about helping change the single most important element for our future: Children's Education! 

StarShine is a K-12 school that started in Phoenix, AZ and focuses on the principles and values that kids and children need to learn for today’s world, which of course will include how they dedicate their lives for something very meaningful, their integrated lives.

When I met Trish McCarthy in 2013, she talked so passionately about the kids and teenagers they were teaching at StarShine that when I had the opportunity I went for a visit (by the way, walls are painted in Disney® Blue as I was told when I asked) and I had the incredible chance to talk to the seniors and juniors who amazingly were from different countries and were not going through the best of times; but that all changed in StarShine. 

In Trish’s words: “Our non-profit charter school prototype, StarShine Academy, has given us a live, testing model for cutting-edge practices, tools, educational methodologies and technologies.”

Since then, Trish and so many incredible individuals have gathered at the Vatican in Rome to design the curriculum for the new way of teaching for the future.

The Martial Art of Business

Business is an art that requires discipline, persistence and skills. 

One of the main ideas we need to learn is that we need to increase our determination and self-motivation in order to achieve peak performance.

Martial arts are systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.

In this episode of 'Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution' I had the opportunity of interviewing Winston Price, not only a master martial arts artist and personal trainer but also the Executive Producer of my radio show at VoiceAmerica. 

Winston brings together the intense discipline he has learned through the Martial Arts with the skills he has learned in business where he inspires, motivates and helps maximize the opportunities of the people he coaches.

Ideas on Productivity!

Productivity is a key topic in today’s business world. 

It mixes what you do with how you do it and why you do it. 

Doing it right is not enough. You also need to do it effectively and efficiently and with the help and contribution of a committed and engaged TEAM.

Do you know how do you, your team and your company use your resources more effectively and efficiently? What key resources do you have? The main resources we all have are time, people and funds to invest in our company and our team. How do you develop them? 

In short: we need to use them wisely.

Productivity has been defined as “a measure of the efficiency of a person, machine, factory, system, etc., in converting inputs into useful outputs.” So it is actually the best and most efficient use of the resources we have in order to obtain a better and bigger output. 

And yes it includes all of our products, services, ideas, projects, team and all the resources you have combined with all that you and your company do. And of course they all relate to one of the main themes we cover in this Radio Show: PERFORMANCE.

Listen HERE and join us on this interesting episode as we talk on the very important subject of Productivity.

And keep improving your Performance.
