\"The consultant said, mentally, it'll be a challenge. I smiled and said, mentally, it absolutely isn't going to be a challenge. You do what you need to do in terms of the treatment. I'll take care of this.\"
This week on the How to Thrive podcast, Claire and Helen are joined by Neil Edge - mental performance speaker, coach, and ultra endurance athlete.
Neil spent years studying psychology, CBT, NLP and acceptance commitment therapy, not because he planned to become a coach, but because he couldn't work out why he kept getting to the launch point of new businesses and turning back. What he eventually uncovered was imposter syndrome. And in solving it for himself, he found his calling in helping others do the same.
Claire and Helen talk to Neil about the remarkable story of his late-stage cancer diagnosis and how he got quite excited by the challenge it presented, and how every tool he'd spent years teaching others was suddenly on the line.
He also shares his RESET framework, why decision debt is a precursor to burnout, and why professional services teams are leaving enormous performance gains on the table by ignoring what elite sport figured out years ago.
