Legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson led the Chicago Bulls to six championships and the LA Lakers to five. Do you know what was a fundamental key to his teams’ successes? MINDSET. Jackson would have his players participate in group meditations and focus on visualizing successful plays and outcomes. This practice helped the players develop a calm, centered mindset, allowing them to perform under pressure and maintain their composure during critical moments in games. You can’t argue with the results! So, what about you? What benefits could there be from you preparing your mindset more before crucial conversations and interviews?
