Season 2 Episode 14: Relaxed Intensity

Our second week of focusing on the importance of connection.  Today, Ty discusses the importance of Investing In People, an investment with the greatest return. How do we invest in those we lead?  These are the little things that change the nature of relationships and create real connection.  Let’s start doing those little things and creating influence.

For the next three weeks we will be focusing on the importance of connection. Connection is crucial to win in the people business – and we are all in the people business. In this episode, Ty breaks down the concept of being interested, rather than interesting and how that can fundamentally change how we connect with people.  Ty gives tangible ideas how to implement this into our lives, our businesses, our interactions to grow and deepen our connections.

We all fall into the comparison trap in any aspect of our lives, but comparison doesn’t serve us.  Comparison impedes growth and impacts our social well-being.  So how do we leave the comparisons behind? We can turn envy into inspiration, express gratitude and focus on our course and compare you to the you of yesterday.  Focus on progress and be better every day.  Tell me what you do to avoid unhealthy comparison on my social media and let’s continue the conversation.

What is the most important ingredient to achieving any goal? There is one thing that makes the difference between wishing and actually hitting the mark. It’s your level of commitment. Ty breaks down the Four Levels of Commitment to hopefully give you some insight into where your current commitment is and how to level up to make goal achievement happen.

High Performers adopt the mindset set of Relaxed Intensity. Having a relaxed intensity is having a calm focus with a purposeful drive.  Developing this attribute is key to high performance and Ty breaks down in this episode how to cultivate this crucial mindset for high performers across the board.  How do we develop precision under pressure?  Listen and apply these principles to level up your game.

One of the biggest barriers to growth is taking feedback personally and not letting it fuel you to action.  Ty dives into both giving and receiving feedback with the help of the book, Firm Feedback in a Fragile World by Jeff Hancher. This is a great episode to help you be your best self by using feedback as fuel.

Everyone talks about how your circle of association matters but Ty looks at that conventional concept from a different angle.  To play at a higher level, we can’t spend our time with those we are comfortable with.  Are those around you challenging you to take it higher? Listen to this episode and take the challenge!
