Publisher Description
Create personal best performance at will—and revel in the achievement!
If you have ever watched athletes performing at their best, you have witnessed the power of “the Zone”—that state where everything clicks and personal and team bests are the norm. In The Winner’s Way, Dr. Pam Brill tells readers how they, too, can achieve the Zone of top performance, turning goals – whether in the wide world of sports, work or daily life—into positive, results-driving action. With her 3 A’s – activation, attention and attitude—Dr. Brill supercedes previous wisdom by systematically bringing together these three crucial elements to hurdle personal obstacles and finish—again and again—always the winner. Out of her years of research on peak performance in sport and work, coaching to elite athletes and top corporations, and teaching at Dartmouth Medical School, Brill, a psychologist, has put together, and field tested, her unique Winner’s Way™ system. The Winner’s Way offers readers a proven, user-friendly method to identify, engage, and drive strategic change for continual achievement in the face of never-ending challenge. That racing heart and those white knuckles? They’re the result of the chemical deluge that ramps activation to high speed—but without proper 3A alignment, this power within can derail attention and attitude. Tunnel vision is no accident. Negative beliefs about self and potential will always get in the way. Plagued instead by listlessness, wandering attention, an apathetic attitude? These are all due to another chemical reaction—with symptoms readers learn to identify and then re-ramp to their best strengths. Throughout The Winner’s Way, Dr. Brill provides example after example so readers can adapt, according to their personal make-up, the steps to winning achievement that become second nature.
On command, our readers will learn to:
Change a poor attitude
Pull out of a downspin
Use language as an arsenal, fortress, and medic
"Debrief" from experiences by identifying what was done well—and what should be done differently next time
Examine and challenge habitual assumptions . . .
plus deploy strategies for dealing with performance anxiety, fear of rejection, technology overload, and more to help recapture their love for the game of life.
The Winner’s Way is straight forward, makes sense—and it works! Let the game of life begin! On your marks, get set, go!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Disorganized and confusing, Brill's program for achieving personal and professional success often seems more like a maze than a winner's way. A"change agent" who has worked as a consultant and a leadership coach, Brill argues that activation, attention and attitude are the"three core elements that, when aligned at optimal levels, hold the power to boost you into and keep you in the Zone." Her program for achieving"the 3 A's" draws on a mix of self-help methods, scientific reports, cognitive psychology and coaching tactics that have proven useful to other writers and therapists. But the author's disjointed style and mixed metaphors make these familiar techniques needlessly complicated. Jargon involving"propellers,""plungers" and the"arc of engagement" muddles the main message: motivation is largely internal and performance can be improved by good habits.
