96. Steve Drum - Performance Under Pressure
"If we want to be consistent in our performance, we must know really who we are, what we stand for and who we aspire to be, where we want to go. And from that, we have to flesh out our values, our personal beliefs, and then most importantly, we need to figure out how we live them through principled actions.” — Steve Drum

An in-demand speaker and consultant, who helps individuals and organizations develop leadership and performance strategies, so they can plan, prepare, and execute at the highest levels when it matters most.

R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:
Develop mental skills of warrior toughness
Pay attention to self-talk. What are you saying when you talk to yourself? Is it enabling you to execute your plan from your position on the X? 
Practice energy management. Key tip: Breathing exercises (see YouTube for extra clip from Steve on box breathing.) 
Write a personal mission statement. Who are you? What are your values? What do you stand for? How will you hold yourself accountable?
