Description

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Episode #296: Emily Fletcher - The Secret Superpower Of Top Performers (Meditation) For full show notes, go to www.LearningLeader.com  Commonalities of sustaining excellence: They have a magnetic quality.  Others are drawn to them.  People look to them. They have the ability to shift their state of being.  Not just being calm.  They are able to be variable and can adapt to situations Meditation increases adaptability Meditation helps you take care of yourself Rest, nurture your brain and body The failure of most when they attempt to meditate: Emily is on a mission to rid the world of "ex-meditators" -- people who have tried and failed and given up on it There have been 58 million downloads of meditation apps Free apps are gentle by design and not as useful Advice -- There is a difference between mindfulness and meditation. "Meditation is a tool that helps you get rid of stress from your past." Mindfulness is "the art of bringing your awareness into the present moment" Meditation gives your brain and body tools. "Kind of a nap sitting up. Mind alert, body getting rest." -- Relieve stress from now and past It is not a toy.  It's a very powerful tool.  You need proper training It's ridiculously simple, yet powerful Biggest misconception  -- "People think they have to clear their head.  They think thoughts are the enemy.  That's not true." "People think they are too busy to meditate... You know we're talking about your brain right?" Emily was on Broadway for 10 years... Living in constant state of anxiety... Sick, insomnia, was miserable. She noticed another performer had none of those issues.  She asked what she did and found out meditation was the key... Emily took a class, and liked it so much she went to India to be trained professionally. She created Ziva... An online meditation tool. It's about manifesting "consciously creating the life you love" "Don't water the weeds" -- Don't focus on the wrong things

As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.” That’s why the Learning Leader Show exists—to get together and understand the journeys of successful leaders, so that we can better understand our own. This show is full of stories told by world-class leaders. Personal stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—some are best-selling authors, others are genius entrepreneurs, and one even made a million dollars wearing t-shirts for a year. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the smartest, most creative, always-learning leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we each create our own journeys.
