Summary

Jamil Quresh is a high performance expert and psychologist. he's worked with some of the biggest businesses, sports teams and individuals to help them reach the highest level of performance.

In my mind Jamil's episode was probably one of the most valuable I've recorded. I struggle to think of a better encapsulation we’ve received of self progression and how to always have an attitude in life open to learning.

This is the episode to listen to if you want to learn how to better take responsibility in your own life, but more importantly what that means for your wider attitude. Especially having an open mind and being willing to experiment and try new things.

I learn from all of my guests, but I think what Jamil taught me is how to learn better. This is definitely an episode for you if you feel like you’ve recently been stuck or like life isn’t throwing up the opportunities you want. Because it isn’t just the opportunities you receive, but the ones you look for, and how ready you are for them when they arrive.

to those circumstances and situation no matter what they are, to drive the best outcomes

or opportunities.

0:45.6

So I always say it is a circle of concern, water cooler conversations, the stuff that's

0:50.5

going on around us, circumstance situation, incidents and accidents, then it's a circle

0:56.4

of influence.

0:57.4

And the circle of influence is where we make choice, that's what it's about.

1:00.8

So responsibility is all about choice for me.

1:03.2

I absolutely guarantee you now that the circumstance and situation is not a predictor

1:10.2

of success.
