It's Always Sunny in Surgery3 Syys 2023

Where's Your Head At?

As we discussed in the previous episode, sometimes life and the job sticks the boot in, and kicks you when you’re already down. Picking ourselves up is easier said than done.

Psychology is a vital aspect of any high-performance industry because we need to believe we can do it; not just for us, but also for the people who rely on us. Sometimes we need extra help to find the right headspace.

Today we’re joined by Nicola Forshaw, counsellor, therapist and professional coach and we talk about how coaching and/or mentoring can get you back in the zone.

What’s the difference between the two? How does a good mentor mentor? What benefits does it bring? How do we combat performance anxiety? How much time do we really need in the stretch zone? Is it bad if we like wallowing in the comfort zone? Are we on the highway to the danger zone?!

Look, stop asking questions and just listen; all will be revealed. Now drop and gimme 20!

You can't say 'danger zone' without listening to Kenny Loggins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E
