Description

As we go through life, we all encounter various types of loss – whether it’s a physical loss or the loss of a dream, relationship, or way of life. While it can be easy to become stuck in the grieving process, these situations may also present a powerful opportunity to inspire others and lead more impactfully.  For John Register – our guest in Episode 237 of The Mindset Game® podcast – the devastating experience of losing his leg from an accident while training for the Olympics propelled his journey to becoming an inspirational keynote speaker, consultant, C-suite advisor, and author of the book, “10 Power Stories to Impact Any Leader.” He is also a combat Army veteran and a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the hurdles. Since his amputation, John has won the Long Jump Silver Medal in Sydney, Australia, has advised three U.S. Secretaries of State, and founded the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military Sports Program, which has helped tens of thousands of wounded veterans around the world use sports as a tool for rehabilitation. He believes that when our truth outweighs our fear, we will commit to a courageous life. In this week’s episode, John shares the following:  Why it’s important for leaders in particular to acknowledge, accept, and honor the losses they’ve experienced A three-part framework – reckoning, revision, and renewal – for transforming change and adversity into opportunities for growth  Tips for building your resilience capacity, such as taking appropriate breaks for rest, asking for help, and empathizing with others and what they value To explore more inspirational content from John or to join his Elevate Life community of international executives, visit https://johnregister.beehiiv.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.
