Jim Harbaugh shares why he loves to show up every day and help each person be best version of themselves.

"What's good for the bee is good for the hive. What's good for the hive is good for the bee."

A better you makes a better us. And a better us creates space for a better you.

When you invest in people, you compound the power of the team.

Most people would rather be flattered by empty praise than improved by critical feedback.

Scottie Scheffler on being present on and off the golf course ahead of the PGA Championship.

"I think it's always a battle to try to stay in the present. I think when I was in college, my college coach did a really good job of helping me kind of learn that skill."

"He really preached on when you're at the golf course, you're at the golf course, when you're in class, you're in class. And when I'm out doing stuff with my friends, I don't want to be at home hanging out with my wife thinking about my golf swing. I don't want to be out here at the golf course thinking about being at home."

Scottie Scheffler offers a mental game masterclass on attitude, preparation, and competing with freedom.

"When I step on to the tee at a tournament my thought process is always about my preparation...I remind myself 'I've done the work.'"

"I can go out and compete freely knowing what I've done what I was supposed to do in my preparation and then when it comes time to compete I'm just trying to soak in the competition and go out there have fun, be committed to my shots, and I'm focused most on my mental attitude."

Freedom in performance is a reward for discipline in preparation.

"I think our secret sauce has been our staff."

University of Houston head men's basketball coach, Kelvin Sampson, was asked what's helped him retain players and how he's built his culture, and he reflected the credit to the staff around him.

"All of my auxiliary staff that we have in our program were former managers. I don't take résumés and I don't take phone calls. I hire everything from within. Everybody thinks they need to go hire the best recruiter or the best this. We develop our staff like we develop our players."

"That's culture. We don't have a lot of signs in our building. I don't know what those signs mean anyway. There's one sign that you'll see a lot in our building. It just says 'culture'. How you do anything is how you do everything."

Leadership isn't about being the best in the room. It's about creating a room that brings out the best in others and helps each person develop to their full potential.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect, it’s about having the courage to keep showing up, even when you stumble.

Consistency is driven by imperfect daily progress.

Meaning may be healthier than happiness.

23-year study: A sense of purpose is a more robust predictor of longevity than life satisfaction. Having worthwhile goals is a source of vitality.

It’s nice to feel happy today. It’s important to have something to strive for tomorrow.

Rory McIlroy discusses separating your self-worth from your performance.

"Just because you shot a good score doesn't make you the greatest person on earth and just because you shot a bad score doesn't make you a piece of shit."

Success is built from your ability to learn from adversity.

Do hard things.

New research highlights the significance of tackling challenging tasks. It suggests that facing discomfort is a skill that can be honed through practice. And building this skill can impact all areas of our lives.

You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action.

Standing still breeds rumination and seeds self-doubt. Motion fuels progress and elevates efficacy.

Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn.

In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise.

Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.

The myth is that there isn't enough time. There is plenty of time. There isn't enough focus with the time you have. You win by directing your attention toward better things.
