Trust and Believe | Recap & Reflections from Summit 2016

Last week Trainer Shaun T talked at the Team Beachbody Summit Leadership Conference in Nashville Tennessee about trust and belief and here are my notes and additional comments inspired from his presentation:

Close your eyes and think and listen to what was said to you 20-30 years ago....

What was it that you are not convinced about?  What do you need to understand?
The best way to improve yourself is to not lie to yourself, but to find the truth.

Do you believe what's happening?
Do you believe you can reach the goals you set for yourself?
What's stopping you?

Connect with the thing that scares you the most.
Begin to walk backwards and think about where you'd have to stop in your past because you become so fearful you can't move back anymore. You have to have belief that the entire time you are walking backwards, especially when you can't see what's there, that you believe and trust in yourself.  Connect with that thing that scares you the most.  Begin to walk backwards and think about what you did.

Once you connect to that point and understand it, you'll be able to start to move forward and there will be no such thing as the end of the race.  When you have truth and trust in yourself, you'll be able to "own" whatever situation you face and it will be amazing!!

Now imagine living in a glass house and being able to see everything you have ever done.  Is what you do in your house what you do on the outside as
well?

If you could rewind your life and see everything....if you had to put your life on TV...could you?
When you look at yourself in a glass house do you see transparency?

At the end of the day, when you feel like you are going to fall, do you call on yourself?
Can you trust yourself, can you look at yourself in all that you are?
If you can, let your uniqueness shine.

Trust and Believe in who you are!!

Now I am back from Summit and I'm packing up my office desk at the University of Kentucky.  I picked up the book "HOPE" this afternoon and read a few pages.  Here is what I take from the passage that continues with what Shaun T was saying last week....

Believers are the best leaders.  They are convinced that the human spirit is capable of anything once it is worth making the trip.

Recall the last time someone believed in you---I mean really believe in you....so much that they put you in the situation that even you thought it was within your capacity.

How did it make you feel that someone thought you could walk on water and run through walls?
How did you preform?

Believers lead others to hope through solving problems and giving meaning to the task at hand.  Hope motivates both you and others you are leading.  Hope creates belief in yourself, in others and in the unrealized future.

As Team Beachbody coaches, we use HOPE each day to believe in ourselves and spread it to others. When things get tough we reach for HOPE and belief to keep going.  This picture of the Dream Team...the #1 team in the company and the team I'm proud to say I belong to is a team of believers and leaders that will continue to spread HOPE throughout 2016 and the future!!
