Nudge

There’s one trait that links many of the world’s elite performers. Many Olympic winners, world record holders and Champions League football players share it. It’s not what you’d expect (and it’s definitely not 10,000 hours of training). In today’s Nudge, you’ll hear bestselling author Bruce Daisley explain why lottery winners are unhappy, why the 10,000 hours rule isn’t true and the trait that drives Olympic gold medal winners. Just a heads up, this episode contains conversations about childhood trauma.Try HubSpot for free: https://hubspot.sjv.io/jWq4k6Read Bruce’s book: https://amzn.to/3STOp56 Listen to episode 21 of Nudge: https://bit.ly/3JTMwRYSign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list

Jose Mourinho is one of the world's most successful football managers. He has consistently turned good teams into the world’s best. He’s done so by signing fantastic players, by mastering tactics, but also by using psychological mind games to motivate his players and undermine his opposition. In this episode, I share interviews with Mourinho to pick apart why he used mind games, what he aimed to achieve, and whether or not they really worked.Try HubSpot for free: https://hubspot.sjv.io/jWq4k6Sign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-listFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/p_agnewConnect with me on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3mcmaiZ
