Big Talk

“Life rarely changes in a positive way without an increase in responsibility”- James Clear.
If you lead people, this is where the transformation efforts quietly fail.
Every time you ask your team to set a goal or make a change, you’re asking them to own it. And ownership is the missing link. You can roll out the best strategy, the clearest roadmap, the most compelling vision and it will fall flat if people haven’t personally connected to why it matters to them.
Telling people to be better doesn’t work. Getting them to take responsibility for their own growth does.

That’s the gap Big Talk closes. We help you build the emotional connection that turns a directive into a commitment, because without it you’re just handing out words!

Winning and being successful don’t always look the same. Not everyone gets to hold the trophy aloft! However we all get to grow and improve with each season or year. There will always be a place to go for the trophy or contract but more importantly being the better version of yourself trumps that. How many people have achieved some individual success without their team achieving the same success.
The big wins come with becoming the type of person that wins or teams want to recruit that’s what success looks like!

With young athletes we help in Pro Mindset Academy one of our big steps is to get them to play with freedom. Don’t overthink or wait just act. When this happens we celebrate. It’s seen as success, and it is.
However sometimes this will pop up in other areas. Now that same thing is seen as troublesome. Navigating this as a young person trying to find who they are what they believe in and where their wins come from can be confusing. On one hand don’t think just go, then we say they need to stop and think before we say and do anything.
This is not making excuses it’s just a real chance to see it for what it is and that’s a young person making their way.

A oldy but a goody, “If you don’t know the destination, no wind will be favourable “.
Generic goals of I want to be stronger or faster improve my skills may as well be I want to be older!
Having a clear idea of what you need to be better at and an understanding of how much better you can be in this period are needed. Don’t let the offseason just fly by because it will be over before you know.

RUOK?
Good starting point but what happens next. Have you ever checked in and asked yourself the same question? What will you answer to the person in the mirror? What are those answers based on, is it the generic one you give without thought?
The same old question will only get you the same old responses.
Part of the Big Talk session we explore better questions that we can ask ourselves and each other.

Sometimes we need a reminder to see all the joyful things that are around us. If you ask someone when they peaked they so often will look back to the past. This leads one to believe that the thrill has left the building, life looks different when you are constantly finding the new.
Showing everybody, not just the young that the thrill is real for all of us if we allow for it is a cool experience. Big Talk can help you and your people to see the bright side of life.

This time of year is exciting for the footy fans as we roll into the finals. Unless of course your team is one that has already missed out. As a fan a lot of people can understand the gap that the season ending leaves in their week. For players it’s compounded as this is the strongest connection they have outside their families. How people fill the space is important and could do with a little planning. It has so many levels as to what players are looking to get out of the sport. Aspirational groups should be looking to come back better, others just use it as a reason to get a bit fitter and have now entered hibernation!! If this is a period that you or someone around you could use some help planning reach out here or go to Bigtalk.au and book a call. We could make it your best offseason ever!

Talking today about different stages of life we get to pass through. So many big changes come as we get into relationships and become parents and have to really start being about not only our future but someone else’s. Even just with today’s workout, I have had stages where it would have been easier but also where I wouldn’t have done it. Who’s to say where your prime is, why not keep giving yourself a chance for it to be on the way!
