entrepreneurship featured leadership mindset Jan 16, 2024

Is being yourself truly 'enough'? What if there were multiple versions of you that you could access to perform at your best, depending on the situation? I recently shared a video on this topic and received some skepticism (fair pushback) regarding the idea of creating an 'Alter Ego'.

In response, I reached out to Todd Herman, a performance coach and author, who has assisted world-renowned athletes and leaders in tapping into their superpowers through an Alter Ego. In this episode, we explore your questions about authenticity and peak performance. Join us as we dive into the benefits of an alter ego, the impact of visualization and having a 'board of directors' for your life, and how you can fully embrace your authentic self.


FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:
