Episode #132
Master your internal dialogue by making small twice-daily commitments and acting despite the four common self-sabotaging scripts: “I forgot,” pain, lack of support, and “this is stupid.”
Embrace and plan for failure; deliberately train to the point of breakdown to expose weaknesses and build resilient leadership that functions even without the leader.
Performance happens in the margin: commit first, then persist through the messy, painful space between decision and result until outcomes arrive.
Make a commitment to do something in the morning right after you wake up and at night right before you go to bed.
The space between where I am and where I want to go is what I call the margin.
And in the SEAL community, they decided a long time ago that the only way to be successful in combat is to constantly, in training, embrace failure.
Today I bring you, Thom Shea. Thom is a retired Navy SEAL and the founder and CEO of Adamantine Alliance, a leadership, teambuilding, and training organization dedicated to rapid, sustainable growth for his clients. Thom conducts training seminars and keynote presentations throughout the nation and serves as a strategic advisor for leaders and executives across the globe.
Thom has trained hundreds of individuals to master his Five Pyramids of Human Performance® and led each through the intense training of what he calls Performance in the Margin®, space where all performance occurs.
Before founding Adamantine Alliance, Thom served 23 years with distinguished Valor as a Navy SEAL. During his military career, he served in three wars, ultimately leading a team of Navy SEALs into Afghanistan in 2009 where he earned a Silver Star, Bronze Star with Valor, Army Commendation with Valor and his second Combat Action Medal.
