Your mind is a powerful tool. You just need to learn
how to master it. That’s where Performance Intelligence
comes in.
The ability to perform your best when it matters
most is a skill anyone can learn. A well-known
sports psychologist, Julie Ness Bell, Ph.D., has
trained some of the world’s greatest athletes, from
professional golfers and tennis stars to football
teams and basketball pros. She’s learned that the
athlete’s ability to perform under extreme stress
is predominantly mental—not physical—and the
basic principles of peak performance are the same
for everyone, whether you’re a corporate leader,
team player, or small business owner.
Principle #1: Your mind is powerful.
Principle #2: You control your mind.
Principle #3: You have a choice in
every situation.
Think about it. Now think again. That’s the secret
behind Performance Intelligence at Work, a proven
method of unblocking the obstacles in your brain—
and unlocking “The Mind of a Champion.”
Performance Intelligence works for athletes, and it
will work for you, too. Throughout the book, Bell
provides specific examples from her vast coaching
experiences and relates them to the corporate playing
field.
Each chapter ends with a “Business Leader
Huddle” to help you put each principle into action. You will learn how to recognize your old ways
of thinking, refocus your thoughts on a goal, and
establish new routines to make it happen. Instead
of negative “what-not-to-do” thinking (I will not
procrastinate), you’ll be able to retrain your brain
using proactive “what-to-do” thinking (I will finish
this task today).
Soon you’ll be performing at higher
levels than you ever thought possible—with a
winning mindset you never knew you had.
