STANDOUT QUOTES "It's okay to be uncomfortable as long as we're honest about it, collaborative about it, and transparent. We need to ask permission. We need to be able to ask people if they are willing to work as a team and work towards what the next steps are.” -Dr. Jason Kolber “If you know the why, then people will comply. Anchor to the why behind what you’re doing and stay connected to what drives you.” -Dr. Jason Kolber Championship Mindset Training  Start with the “why.” Anchor to the why behind what you are doing and stay connected to what drives you. Anchor to a healthy source of why in terms of why are you working towards this, why do you want to accomplish this, and what does that ultimately get you.
