Re-release: High Performance Pledges

EPISODE 118 High Performance Pledges SUMMARY This week, James has made the decision to re-release one of our most frequently listened to episodes. A constantly reoccurring, central and universal theme is the desire to improve. 'High Performance Pledges' is an episode from 2024, exploring a poem James uses as a North Star, a roadmap for stepping into a place of growth and development. The Optimists Creed was written by Christian Larson. He believed that we all have untapped potential that can be accessed if we adopt the right attitude. He presents a series of pledges that are as relevant today as they were when the poem was written. In this episode James Rule explores the pledges and how they can be utilised to create and sustain high performance in all aspects of our lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS These pledges provide a roadmap for high performance in our professional roles and personal lives. What is your stock answer when somebody asks you how you are? Your answer impacts your mindset and outlook. We cannot control what happens to us but we can control how we react. We can slide into pessimism or fight to stay relentlessly optimistic. There is always opportunity in adversity. Are you a good role model? Do you set the standard at work as a leader and at home as a partner or parent? How often do you bring the best version of you to the fore?
