415 | How to Praise the Process

Praising progress over the result takes intention. Because, when you’re a high performer, you love bringing home that W. So for many of us, letting go of the result takes a lot of practice.  Like, a LOT of practice. I was at my kid’s soccer game the other day, and she scored two goals. Now, the competitor in me, wanted to cheer, swing her around, and make a huge deal out of it, but I also knew that if I wanted my daughter to praise progress over result I had to be careful about how I celebrated her in that moment. My daughter knows that I’m proud of her; not because of her two goals, but because she played hard. Because of her EFFORT, not the OUTCOME. I want my daughter to ask herself, win or lose, “Do I know - in my GUT - that I did my very VERY best?” In this special extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I explore: What does praising progress really look like? What’s the ripple effect of praising progress over outcome? How can we instill this idea in the people we coach, our kids, and ourselves? Is it important to care about results? How can you strike a balance? Listen to this extended episode and join me as I praise progress over outcome! Ps. Want more information about our upcoming coaching program?
