  • "Making sure that all parts of your business are integrated and aligned with the vision, mission, values, and accountability structure that's set from the top allows people to own it from the bottom up. Everywhere people go, everywhere that customers go, everywhere that kids go, it's aligned, it's reinforcing, and it's growing who we are and the expectation of how we're going to operate in this environment.” Dr. Selking

  • “The senior leader of the team of the organization has to be bought in. They have to have extreme ownership over the culture and over everything that happens inside of that system." -Dr. Amber Selking

  • "Clarity of goals, mission, vision, and core values. When you have clarity around those things, it allows you to make commitments to those things, which ultimately drives the behaviors that you want.” -Derin McMains

  • “Act different than how you feel. It doesn't mean we don't deal with emotions at all. I think they're great informants, but terrible dictators. Be aware of how you feel. Check in on that later. But don't let it deter you from the commitment that you made to yourself, to your team, or your company." -Derin McMains

Championship Mindset Training 

If you want to learn to train yourself to act differently than how you feel, refuse to snooze. Win that first decision of the day, and then just watch how your day changes and unfolds from there.
