The High Performance Mindset at Work, Home and Life
Michael Bernard’s new book is based on his many years of consulting and coaching at sporting clubs (Michael was the first sport psychologist for Collingwood Football Club), financial organisations (AMP), schools (Founder, You Can Do It! Education) and with many, many parents, teachers and students. Michael reveals what has been learnt about how people operate at their best and why and when they do not.
For the first time, he shows what the latest research from positive psychology, social emotional learning, Rational Emotive and Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy says about the psychological architecture of the high performing mindset. Michael discusses and illustrates with case studies the limits and benefits of positivity including the need to become aware of and address our internal blocks that hinder our desire to be a high performer. Full of practical suggestions (and advice), the book is a must read for those wanting to take the next step and cope in today’s world.
