Unlocking Peak Performance with Dr. Michelle Cleere

The Optimized Mind

In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate talks with Global Performance Coach, Michelle Cleere, Ph.D. The discussion focuses on the non-linear path towards growth and potential. Central themes which emerge through the discussion include – the importance of taking the first step forward, how we can apply the principles of sports performance across domains, the importance of recognizing small successes along the way and seeing progress as an evolving process, the intersection of expectation management and goal setting, navigating fear of failure, the importance of focusing on what you can control and what you can do, as opposed to what you can’t do, the importance of reflection and awareness in creating a strong performance mindset and the power of aligning mind and body.

Dr. Michelle Cleere helps top athletes, musicians, and executives all over the world to unlock the power of the mind and develop the mental skills to be the best.
