P is for Presence
This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses the importance of presence in achieving high performance. She defines presence as the state of existing, occurring, or being in a place or thing, both physically and mentally. Dr. Selking highlights the significance of physical presence, particularly for leaders, and the importance of being physically present with your team to understand their needs and build relationships. She explores how we can cultivate both physical and mental presence to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

Championship Mindset Training | Midweek Mental Rep
Can you be in the moment? Not in the past, not in the future, but in the present? Use your breathing as a strategy to bring you into that present moment and then have a presence about you. Allow your identity and the courage and the confidence in who you are and what you have to offer in this moment radiate out of you.
