Overcoming the Confidence Challenge in Hockey👊🏻 With over 15 years of experience working with ice hockey players both on and off the rink, I've observed that a negative self-image is the primary roadblock preventing many from achieving success in the sport. For numerous hockey players, confidence stands as the ultimate hurdle affecting their performance on the ice. Let's delve into how this internal struggle between the tool of self-confidence and the role of victimhood manifests. Your inner dialogue 🧠is the key tool that either opens the door to success or builds a wall of doubt. Use it constructively as your guide to self-assurance. However, be cautious not to fall into the trap of negative self-talk, limiting your growth as a player. Avoid the Confidence Pitfall: Many hockey players find themselves trapped as victims of their own negative thoughts, resembling the feeling of a child constantly being scolded. This self-destructive inner dialogue result in doubt, comparisons with other players, and an overall sense of isolation. To overcome this hurdle, actively work on strengthening your confidence. Acknowledge your strengths, set realistic goals, and engage in daily exercises that build your belief in your abilities. By addressing the confidence challenge head-on, you can lay the foundation for a more confident and successful performance on the hockey rink.

Leadership Insights from Badminton 🏸 Great P. Gopichand Earlier this week, I had the privilege of attending an insightful session with badminton legend P. Gopichand, hosted by #ltimindtree during their annual awards ceremony. Far from a typical keynote speech, his honest reflections on learning from decades as both a player and coach proved to be a masterclass in leadership. As Gopichand recounted his extensive career, experience training champions and the evolution of Indian badminton I found myself captivated by his humility, wisdom and simplicity. Through vivid anecdotes, he articulated how lessons from sports can be applied to business leadership. Two key takeaways that resonated most strongly were: 1. Respect the junior and challenge the senior. As coach, Gopichand encouraged young players to challenge and potentially beat more senior teammates. He also urged senior players to view younger talent as potential threats who could surprise them. By perpetuating this culture of friendly competition, the overall standards of Indian badminton have risen steadily. For an organization's growth, #leaders should similarly promote fresh ideas from junior members while ensuring senior members continue honing their sharpness and open-mindedness. 2. Are champions made or born? Gopichand stressed that coaches don't simply recruit ready-made champions. They assess players' talents and nurture them according to the team's needs. Similarly, organizational leaders should recognize their people’s strengths and cultivate well-rounded teams to achieve shared goals, rather than fixating on existing "superstar" abilities. Kudos to LTIMindtree for facilitating this inspirational session. Sincere congratulations to all the iWin 2023 award winners! #leadership #business #masterclass #india

Resilient leaders are characterised by their ability to adapt and remain agile during tough times. Three things to keep in mind when going through uncertain times are: Respond. Recover. Thrive. Respond- Evaluate the challenges and decide what to do to ensure the business does not shut down. Recover- Identify the lesson learnt during the Respond phase. Also, find ways to improve your processes to better prepare for future uncertainties. Thrive- Create a culture with a growth mindset and accountability, and teams are motivated to work towards continuous growth.

Why leaders must embrace foresight: “Thinking about our futures and exploring possibilities is an essential capability for executives and creative leadership in 2023. Futures work – or foresight as it’s more widely known – helps us strengthen strategic planning and become aware of the unknown risks and opportunities that lay 10+ years out.” Great insights from Nikolas Badminton. #leadership #foresight #strategicplanning https://lnkd.in/ecFtyA7q
