#30 Looking in the Rear View Mirror - Andrew May & Angela Poon (Coaching Corner)

Setting goals is a lot like driving a car. The majority of time is future-focused, looking ahead out the front windscreen.Research shows it is important to also periodically check the rear view mirror and remind ourselves of achievements made and where we have come from.As we inch agonisingly closer towards the end of another big year, Andrew and Angela Poon from StriveStronger discuss the 7 (plus 1) areas Andrew uses for himself and for his clients to look back at the end of the year and reflect on achievements, lessons and learnings.Andrew and Angela discuss personal examples from the previous calendar year, with a few surprises along the way. And for those listeners wanting to go deeper, Andrew provides an outline for self-reflective awareness (SRA), which is a ‘meta-cognitive’ ability that involves thinking about and reflecting on your own mental processes. “People with a strong SRA are able to generate a self-narrative that is complex, clear, and multifaceted. They are capable of communicating in a way that allows others to have a much better understanding of who they are and where they are coming from”."Reflect upon your blessings of which every man and woman has plenty; not on your lost misfortunes, of which we all have some." - Charles Dickens.In this episode Andrew and Angela Discuss:1:45 Intro and reason for recording this podcast5:07 The science behind reviewing goals7:20 Specific Rear View examples with Angela and Andrew10:00 7 Areas to look back on41:23 Angela's example from blowing up to totally showing up47:00 Going deeper with Self-Reflective Awareness (SRA) Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: www.andrewmay.com Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://www.andrewmay.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

#21 Welcome To Performance Intelligence With Andrew May

Performance Intelligence Podcast - similar format, new name, exciting opportunities.1. Why the name change?'Performance Intelligence’ provides a broader umbrella to explore and house content specific to ‘all things human performance.’ This aligns with my evolution as a mental skills coach to some of the world’s leading athletes, business leaders and entrepreneurs. And Performance Intelligence is the name of the new book Dr Tom Buckley  and I are releasing in late 2023. 2. What is Performance Intelligence?"Performance Intelligence is the ability to recognise how physical, psychological and emotional states affect work and life, and adapting environments to optimise performance."We have been evolving this concept for close to two decades, working with a range of high performers in multiple domains (sport, entertainment, the performing arts, academia, and the military) and Dr Tom added his medical and evidence-based lense.You’ve heard of Intelligence Quotient (IQ), and Emotional Intelligence (EQ), we believe Performance Intelligence (PQ) is the third iteration. Performance Intelligence applies to the way we turn up in relationships and the way we turn up at work. It applies to the way we perform in front of 10,000 people and the way we perform in front of one. Performance Intelligence is a skill you can develop with the right training and the right mindset.   3. What does the new format look like?Episodes are positioned into 3 broad categories, including:a. High Performer Series: exploring the habits, tactics and strategies that have led to success for some of the world’s leading performers… b. The Science Of: drilling down into the science of a specific performance-related construct, with leading domain experts…c. Performer Spotlight: chatting with an individual client, a leader, or showcasing a team we have worked with and how they developed/applied Performance Intelligence…The operating rhythm of this podcast reflects the way we work at StriveStronger and andrewmay.com with 40 new episodes a year, aligned with the 10 weeks of each school semester (what we call the In Season) and during the holidays (the Off Season), we publish a Bite Size interviews, which are the ‘best bits’ from previous episodes. 4.
