Most importantly, he continues to enjoy lifelong learning every day. Well, I want to start off by saying if you don’t have Eduardo’s book, the Performance Paradox then you’ll be convinced by the end of our conversation to buy one right away. He speaks about his transformational journey that started with a health scare and culminated into a practicate of helping people around the world in the growth vs. fixed mindset & the performance vs. Learning zones. Eduardo highlights the idea that growth occurs in discomfort, the learning zone, contrasting with the comfort of the performance zone. That staying comfortable is more in the performance zone but all growth happens within discomfort/ change and that is in the learning zone. Here’s Eduardo Briceno. You’ve developed a self-awareness of who you are and where you want to go… but now what? Sound familiar? In my 20 years of practice as a Superior Court Mediator, clinician, executive coach, and parent, I’ve noticed one thing above all: No meaningful transformation can happen unless you find and apply the tools and skills that are right for you. See, the thing is, without tools, without a recipe, you might as well flip a coin and hope it works. Or, you’ll get burned out listening to bad advice, and following tips that just aren’t useful in your situation. I’ve been there, and I’ve seen thousands of clients right there as well… My name is Deepa, and Recipes for life is my show where you and I learn the ingredients of high performing, well-adjusted humans, how they get through their own life… all to craft a recipe for life of our own.
