Manage episode 347398630 series 2939456
In today’s episode I chat with Jon Watkins a resilience and transformation coach and a former special forces soldier. Jon shares insights into some challenges that he overcame in the military and the importance of mindset. Goal setting is introduced, concepts such as self-leadership, natural resilience, adaptive resilience and psychological safety we also touch on and a lot more. Enjoy tuning in!
Key Learning Points:
- The selection process in the special forces produced likeminded mentally and physically robust individuals who shared collective goals and went on to create a fantastic environment to work in.
- Self-leadership was a huge part of the special forces.
- My comfort zone was pushed to its maximum.
- When considering goal setting, relating it back to your values is essential.
- Chunking down your goals is a skill that anyone can develop.
- Mental Toughness is built around that perseverance, never giving up element to it and being disciplined to live through your values.
- Resilience in general is about bouncing back.
- Natural resilience is the resilience that we’re born with.
- Adaptive resilience is heavily influenced by our environment.
