"Practice makes perfect." We often hear parents say this to their children who are training in sports, learning a new skill, or taking lessons in the arts. We see the value of the process - patience, discipline, and hard work - that needs to be instilled in our children, but we fail to see that this same set of values also apply to us if we desire to be high-performers in our industry. On this episode, I share what decades of research says about high-performers as well as why it is crucial to value the process and not just the results. I also discuss the different types of growth mindsets that tremendously impact not only the way you see processes and outcomes but also the way you see yourself and progress as a high-performing leader. "High performers are made, not born." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: What parents usually say to their children who are pursuing a new endeavor Walking the talk about instant gratification Examples of a fixed mindset approach to growth What I have consistently seen from high-working leaders Fierce Leadership Quotes: "For many ambitious, goal-oriented adults, the idea of practice kind of floats right out of our heads." - Eleanor Beaton "We sometimes think that we should be great at something right away. We think that we need to get results right away and we're preaching to our kids about how instant gratification is wrong and bad, but we want instant gratification." - Eleanor Beaton "Whatever you're doing, whatever goals you're going after - yes, set them, have them. But devote yourself to a love of the process, not an attachment to the results." - Eleanor Beaton Join the Exclusive Incubator Program!
