In this episode of Strategiq Chess, we dive deep into the mindset shift that separates high performers from everyone else, and why so many people stay stuck in the same identity, same results, and same limitations for years.
Whether you’re a founder, leader, or just someone hungry for growth, this episode will challenge the way you think about personal development, team culture, and what it actually takes to level up in business and life.
We break down:
• The identity trap keeping underperformers stuck
• Why most people defend their limitations without realising it
• The Be Do Have model that changes everything
• What true coachability looks like (and how to hire for it)
• How to rewire your mindset and execute like a weapon
• The difference between people who evolve and those who never do
This episode is raw, unfiltered, and packed with real talk around growth, leadership, and breaking through performance plateaus. If you’re serious about becoming the kind of person who creates results and not excuses, this is the one to watch.
