First Nations Strength: Simon Vallone on Bodybuilding, Business & Resilience

How is pushing past your own barriers in bodybuilding, a sport with no rivals but yourself, different from other sports where the key is not just hard work but also natural talent to beat the competition?In bodybuilding, it's all about pushing your limits. Getting down to the least fat and packing on muscle. But getting there? It means super strict eating and embracing the grind? The pain, the tough schedules, the saying 'no' when you want to say 'yes’, it's all part of the game? And learning to be okay with being uncomfortable? To answer these and other questions, we've invited Simon Vallone to Episode 23 of Rolling Through Negotiations. We dive into his unique approach to nutrition, training, and mental preparation, and also draw powerful parallels between the discipline required for bodybuilding and the skills needed for effective negotiation in life and business.Join us as we uncover insights into achieving peak performance, setting and pursuing goals with relentless dedication, and the transformative power of understanding and applying one's values to create impactful change.Follow Simon on LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/simon-vallone-37659b11aSend in a question or comment via text.
