Resilient Humans

I've been on stage over 15 times, and I'm just starting to feel a great sense of comfort. It took a long time and I'd like to share the three lessons I've learned about acting and resiliency.

If there's one phrase I can't stand, it's "I can't". It's like putting up an impenetrable wall in front of whatever you'd like to achieve. It's the motto for a fixed mindset. Today, I talk about how it's creates self-limitation, a fear of failure, missed opportunities, and the impact on self-esteem. And most importantly, how to overcome "I can't"...

Why are we complacent? This one had me thinking hard. I've been working with some people for many years, and yet, they don't change. Why? They have the tools, the resources, the knowledge, and the support. They even have the time and the money. I'm passionate about helping others and will often get frustrated when I'm unable to see the change I know people are capable of. And then...

In the early days of CrossFit Moncton, I would plug in some unknowns. Some members embraced it. Some actually quit over it. How do you think you would respond?

Let me know how you purposefully train with the unknown and unknowable in mind. Thanks for listening. ------------...

If you have a big event and you want some perfor...
