Season 6, Episode 12: Brian Levenson

What this episode covers

Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well. More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there. I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game! In this episode, I catch up with my long-time friend and colleague, Brian Levenson. Brian is the founder of Strong Skills, which provides executive coaching and mental performance training, speaking, and consulting to elite organizations and leaders. He is also the author of the outstanding new book, Shift Your Mind: 9 Mental Shifts to Thrive in Preparation and Performance. Elite performers don't rely on talent alone. Rather, they harness the power of shifting between complementary mindsets—one for preparing effectively and one for delivering when it counts. This book was easily one of my top reads of 2020.
