054 Real World Resilience with Richard Thorpe

Richard Thorpe talks about the real world resilience that is needed to survive and thrive in life. He places particular emphasis over why it is so important to have absolute clarity on your 'Why' if you are to achieve your potential in life and has even shaped his own model of WHY after his training in coaching, counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and from his experiences in business and sport. KEY TAKEAWAY "Challenge yourself. Challenge your thinking. Whenever a thought comes into your mind, recognise it, challenge it. What is that about? Is there a better opportunity? Is there a better option than that thought? Because our thoughts drive everything. It's got nothing to do with the events. It's all about perception of the events. So challenge your thinking."
