5 Minute Drill | How to Get Your Body to Work For Your Brain

When I audit the seasons of my life where I enjoyed frequent success, one theme keeps sticking out…

I was open to learning new things…

New ways to approach problems…

New techniques to optimize my performance in every role I played.

In today’s 5-Minute Drill, I share a powerful stress relief technique I learned in one of my winning seasons. It’s become part of my daily stress management practice, and a technique that I’ve trained my clients to use. 

So, if you’re open to learning more about a technique that athletes, executives, and world-renowned leaders like Tony Robbins use to overcome stressful situations and seasons, then lock in to today’s drill.
