Episode 97: Mental Health in the Workplace with Jennifer Dobberfuhl-Quinlan & David Macfarlane

What’s the biggest thing holding people back from high performance? In our national research study, one barrier stood above the rest. It’s the silent killer of progress—and it shows up more than most people realize. In this episode of Redefining High Performance, I reveal the #1 barrier to high performance—why it’s so common, how it affects your results, and what you can do to beat it. If you want to break through what’s been holding you back, this is the episode to hear.

What’s the #1 driver of high performance? We asked that question in a national research study—and the results were crystal clear. In this episode, I reveal the top factor that separates high performers from the rest. It’s not talent. It’s not intelligence. And it’s not working 100-hour weeks. It’s something every leader, athlete, salesperson, and entrepreneur can develop – and it’s the key to unlocking consistent, sustainable success.  Tune in now to hear: ·      The #1 driver of high performance (backed by data) ·      Why it matters more today than ever before ·      How to start building it into your daily life.

What’s the single most important skill you need to thrive in today’s world?

You’ll learn what the data shows, why this skill matters now more than ever, and how to develop it in yourself and your team. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or high achiever, this insight will shift the way you think about performance and success in a rapidly changing world. Let’s redefine what it takes to win—today.

Sometimes interviews are so good you have to share them twice. This week on The Relevant Leadership Podcast, I'm re-sharing my interview with Jena Hausmann, President and CEO of Colorado Children’s Hospital. I originally titled this episode Dang Good Leadership Advice and I'm sticking with it. Jena Hausmann is the President and CEO of Children’s Hospital in Colorado, one of the leading children’s hospitals in the world.  Jena is a tremendous leader and an even better person.  As I listened back to this interview I thought, “This is dang good leadership advice!”  Jena shares her knowledge on women in leadership, being aware of the culture you are creating, the importance of being authentic in leadership, how important failure can be and much more.  Find our more about Jena at https://www.childrenscolorado.org/about/news/2015/april-2015/jena-hausmann-ceo/

Last week we lost my good friend, Mark Eaton, suddenly. He was a great man, husband, speaker, author & athlete. To honor him I wanted to reshare my podcast interview with Mark. Mark has an amazing story of grit and scrappiness that got him to the NBA and fueled a career as a speaker and the author of Four Commitments of A Winning Team. We talked basketball, teamwork and what it takes to be an all star in whatever you do.
