“When the world around you feels like an emotional roller coaster, steady yourself with simple rituals. Go for a run. Spend some time in nature. Read a book. Simplicity attracts wisdom.”
At some point in everyone’s lives, we experience adversity. For some it is massive. Regardless of what we go through we all have a choice in how we respond to adversity. Do we let it cripple us and stay stuck in the past? Or do we use it as a catalyst to transform our own lives and teach others how to do the same?
Our guest this week, Matt Mayberry, has done the latter.
Widely recognized as one of the nation’s top thought-leaders and dynamic speakers, Matt delivers presentations on leadership, culture transformation, change management, teamwork, and peak performance,
Some of his clients include the FBI, JP Morgan Chase, AXA Financial, Optum, Allstate Insurance, Fifth Third Bank, and NAPA Auto Parts.
Matt is also intimately familiar with that moment when your dreams are shattered and you find yourself standing at the crossroads of destiny and defeat. Matt has faced unimaginable setbacks due to teenage drug addiction and a career-ending injury while playing as a linebacker for the Chicago Bears.
Matt’s first best-selling book, Winning Plays is available now and a new book, Get Better Today, will be released this year.
On today’s show, we talk about the keys to elite performance, how leaders can tap into vulnerability and empathy to lead their people through adversity, and how mindfulness can elevate our presence.
