If you're an athlete, you know that it can be helpful to get psyched up before a big game. But getting in the right mindset is important in any kind of high-stakes scenario, whether you want to perform your best in a big meeting, presentation, interview, audition, or conversation.My guest has some tips he gleaned from interviewing athletes, soldiers, entertainers, and executives on how to find that mindset. His name is Daniel McGinn, and he's the author of Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed. The first step to getting into an optimal mindset is managing negative emotions, so we begin our conversation with what works in mitigating stress and anxiety. From there we talk about how to get others psyched up with an effective pep talk and why the leaders who came out of WWII used the classic rah-rah style more than leaders do today. We then discuss the role of music in getting yourself psyched up and what Daniel learned from the DJ for the Red Sox about crafting the perfect pump-up playlist. Daniel shares how visualization and having a personal highlight reel can put you in a positive headspace, and whether or not anger, competition, and trash talk improve performance.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #569: How to Perform Your Best Under PressureAoM Podcast #757: How to Achieve Cognitive Dominance With Mark McLaughlinAoM Article: Competition — The Fuel for GreatnessConnect With Daniel McGinnDaniel on LinkedInDaniel on Twitter

Risky business can be taxing on the mind. The science confirms how much pressure we feel when forced to make sacrifices and tough decisions on the road to achievement. It reminds me of a story that I re-tell myself weekly. The story of the first $87 that started my radio career. I believe it's a story that can help you as well. Our conversation today is based on the decision-making areas of our brains which Carnegie-Mellon says is 80% excitatory cells and 20% inhibitory cells (in earlier stages). Neurobiologist Sandra Kuhlman highlights how our brains change over time and how that affects risk-taking. “The inhibitory cells—the traffic cop cells—they don't fully come online until after adolescence,” she shares, highlighting how young minds tend to be riskier. That's because the excitatory cells are dominant in younger ages. "Once the traffic cops do come online, they can dampen excitatory activity and even impede learning, but they also allow the brain to more effectively filter information and control behavior," writes Cara Masset for CMU. Although we become more skeptical and closed off to new information as we age, experts suggests that we can adjust to deep learning despite inhibitory dominance. We simply have to focus on changing. The anxiety of risk-taking is natural as we age. I believe that there may be better awaiting you on the other side of that risk. I look back on that night where I gave up $87 to make my dream of being on the radio come true. I harken to a question that Kiersten Schmidtke asks, "if money wasn't a factor, what would you do?" Looking back, that $87 felt like a million because I was just a kid, a few months out of school. We only know so much about tomorrow and we never know when we'll get the opportunity we have been praying for. No matter how big or how small the investment is, you've got to be ready for the opportunity. Daniel McGinn speaks on how important preparation is in his book Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed. He found that many successful people spent time developing routines to help them prepare for big moments. "We often feel the most powerless just before we're expected to act powerful. As you'll learn in this life-changing book, practice might make perfect, but perfection is useless if you can't summon it when it counts," shares the book. Being prepared is part of making the risk worth it; it's part of cashing in on the necessary sacrifices along the journey of success. Then when we make those sacrifices, we must never forget them. According to Psychology Today, reminiscing is healthy. "Reminiscing is an important yet often underutilized method to help us manifest a state of pleasantness," writes Dr. Mike Rucker. "Activating positive memories can help suppress depression and build enduring intellectual, social, and psychological resources." I believe there's power in looking back on what you've accomplished and getting inspired to accomplish more. That's the power in re-living this unforgettable night in July 2012 and how it was the first domino to fall on my 14-year radio career. Let's take this walk and see if it can inspire you as well.

Daniel McGinn is a senior editor at Harvard Business Review and the author of Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed. He was also recently named one of the top 100 leadership speakers for 2018 by Inc.   Daniel wanted to write a book about mental preparation and leadership for three reasons:   Going back to high school, Daniel was on a number of sports teams. He wasn't a star player, but he always tried his hardest. He became fascinated by the psychological and emotional tactics that coaches used to motivate their players, especially in the minutes leading up to a game. When Daniel got out of school, he saw former athletes turned professionals using some of those same techniques to psych themselves up for their jobs. When Daniel started working at HBR, he started seeing studies supporting the efficacy of mental preparation techniques for improving performance.   It's interesting to look at the pep talk as an example of these preparation techniques. In sports, business, and even the military, there are three elements that these pre-engagement speeches need to be effective:   Direction. The nuts and bolts; the offensive scheme, business plan, or battle strategy. Empathy. The leader needs to say things that make it clear he or she personally cares for the team. Actively try to build that connection so that the team wants to please and satisfy that leader. Meaning-making. Whatever the task is, make it seem more important, more meaningful, or related to a larger message.   Another prevalent and intriguing mental preparation technique is the pre-game ritual, which can be simultaneously “meaningless” and effective at building confidence (or even just making someone feel more comfortable).   LeBron James will walk to the center of the court and chalk his hands, and then he takes a handful of the chalk and makes it rain over his head; Jerry Seinfeld listens to Sinatra, puts on a suit jacket five minutes before the show, and paces in a certain pattern; Daniel puts on a pair of sound-blocking headphones.   So we don't always need to get “psyched up” to mentally prepare ourselves, but high achievers (and their mentors or coaches) develop techniques, sometimes unconsciously, that help them succeed. --     Resources: Learn more at PsychedUpBook.com Connect with Daniel on Twitter Read: Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed --   We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.

Daniel McGinn is a senior editor at Harvard Business Review, where he edits the IdeaWatch and How I Did It sections, manages the magazine’s annual Best Performing CEOs in the World ranking, and edits feature articles on topics including negotiation, sales, and entrepreneurship. In this episode, we discuss his newest book Psyched Up. Dan shares the science behind mental preparation that can help anyone succeed. Whether you're closing the sale. Asking for a raise. Nailing the big presentation. Of the 2,000 hours you work every year, your success or failure is determined in the couple of dozen crucial hours when you need to bring your absolute best. Will you?

Should you have a warm-up routine for work? According to Dan McGinn, what you do before a performance makes all the difference to that performance.

Maybe performing under pressure is easier than we think. In those moments before an interview, an exam, or a presentation, we often feel our worst. Yet Daniel McGinn, author of the book, Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed believes we can decrease and even repurpose those anxious feelings to up our performance. Senior Editor of Harvard Business Review, Dan has written for Wired, Inc., The Boston Globe Magazine, and Newsweek. In this book, he draws on the fields of performance and sports psychology and shares quick and simple techniques we all can use. In this interview we discuss: Why we should take a page from pre-performance rituals of top athletes How we can leverage stress before a high-stakes event and maximize our performance What it means to fine-tune our emotions before a high-stakes event The role that centering plays to enhance high-level performance How pre-performance routines distract us from feeling anxious and prime us for the event Why that lucky pen, ring, or tie really can make a difference in our performance How the words we choose and the connections we make to something bigger than ourselves can help us psych up our teams Why a highly experienced, highly motivated team may not need a pep talk How listening to certain kinds of music can improve our performance in all kinds of tasks How a sports DJ is impacting two of the top sports teams in the U.S. Two factors that make a song motivational - how its musicality -- beats, tempo - resonate with us and how emotionally connected we feel to it How our self talk, our visualizations, and our mental rehearsals before an important event can improve our performance The important role priming -- physical and emotional - plays before a high-stakes event Why we should reflect back on past successes to increase our confidence in a new performance task How we can sit there feeling worried or we can develop a set of practices to give us confidence before a high-stakes event Links to Topics Mentioned in this Podcast @danmcginn http://www.psychedupthebook.com/ Improving Acute Stress Responses: The Power of Reappraisal Yuri Hanan and the Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning Don Greene and centering The River and Laura Donnelly and Hugh Jackman Malcolm Gladwell Peak by Anders Ericsson Stanley A.

If you’ve followed Anthony’s writing and work for any time at all you know how fascinated he is with the impact mindset has on success in sales. So it makes perfect sense that when he saw a book titled, “Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed,” he had to read it. He was so impressed with the book he invited the author Daniel McGinn to be his guest on this episode of In The Arena. Anthony and Daniel talk about performance rituals, emotional preparation, the impact of music on motivation, and much more as it relates to sales success. It’s a fascinating conversation you’ll enjoy immensely. Daniel McGinn on Performance Rituals, Emotional Preparation, and Sales Success - Ep 96 Click To Tweet Feeling nervous is natural. This conversation will help you know what to do with those feelings. We’ve all heard of the “fight or flight” instinct, it’s part of our biological wiring that fuels us to take action. Though the things we face today aren’t typically considered “dangerous” as they were back in the day when that response was first needed, they are still many times high-stakes events where the nervousness we feel is similar. On this episode, Daniel McGinn tells how the nervous feelings we face can actually be a helpful thing for performance if we know how to deal with them rightly. He also talks about why the most common piece of advice we receive when we’re feeling nervous is actually the exact opposite of what we should do. Instead of trying to get rid of nerves we need to learn how to channel them toward success. “Hey, calm down. Relax. Breathe.” It’s common advice to hear when you’re nervous but Daniel McGinn says it’s the wrong advice. It’s physiologically impossible to calm down the hormonal surges going on at a time when we are about to perform. Instead of fighting an uphill battle it’s better to learn strategies for focusing that energy to better use than fear and anxiety. In this conversation Anthony digs into how exactly to do that with author Daniel McGinn, so don’t miss it. Instead of trying to get rid of #nerves we need to learn how to channel them toward #success @danmcginn #InTheArenaClick To Tweet Do pre-performance rituals legitimately work? From athletes, to musicians, to sales professionals, many people use a pre-performance routine to get themselves ready for their particular “go time.” What makes up those rituals is as unique as the individuals who devise them, but Daniel McGinn says they are proven to be helpful. Anthony and Dan talk about how varied pre-performance rituals can be effective even when they vary so widely in terms of what is actually being done, what it has to do with mental focus and determination, and how each person’s ability to deal with anxiety is the most determinative factor in their performance. Is music really helpful to prepare for go-time? It’s fascinating how wired human beings are for music. There’s something about the melodies, harmonies, and rhythms that can change our mood, set us up for suggestion, or prepare us for a big day. Daniel McGinn, author of “Psyched Up” says there is no denying that music is a powerful tool in preparing for performance or high-stakes events and he and Anthony discuss how their favorite tunes may not be the same as those chosen by others, and why that is. You’ll enjoy this wrap-up to the conversation.

Matt welcomes author and Senior Editor of the Harvard Business Review, Daniel McGinn to talk about his new book, "Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed." A bit about the book from the author: The book looks at the science and practice of how professionals can learn to use techniques used by Olympic and pro athletes to get in the right mindset before they perform. Chapters look at the use of pep talks, motivational music, trash talk and rivalry, techniques to boost confidence and reduce anxiety, and even drugs to help you get in the mindset to perform. If your job involves pitching ideas, high-pressure negotiations, public speaking or presentations, or make-or-break sales calls, the techniques in the book should help people bring their A-game. The book has only been out a few weeks, but I've started hearing from companies such as Oracle that are buying the book for their sales teams because they think the ROI for people who learn these techniques is obvious. I'm also hearing from entrepreneurs who agree with Brad Feld, who said "This book is a gift for entrepreneurs or anyone else who pitches ideas for a living."

Harvard Business Review senior editor and author, Daniel McGinn, talked to us about his new book, Psyched Up and how the science of mental preparation can help your Sales game!

Dan McGinn is the author of  Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed. The book focuses on the topic of science and mental preparation. Stress can effect everybody and people in sales are certainly not immune. Unlike athletes, sales leaders often do little mental preparation before big meetings or events but there is a lot of research suggesting that people who engage in certain behaviors before stressful activities or high-stakes performances perform better. The book highlights such activities as listening to motivational songs, having a routine, or performing a certain set of actions as great ways to get psyched up.

In this episode, Kevin discusses the science of mental preparation with guest, Daniel McGinn. Dan is a senior editor at Harvard Business Review, and his writing has appeared in many magazines, including Newsweek, Inc, Fast Company, and Wired. His new book is Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed.

Closing the sale. Asking for a raise. Nailing the big presentation. The last few minutes before a major challenge can be terrifying. We often feel the most powerless just before we’re expected to act powerful. Practice might make perfect, but perfection is useless if you can’t summon it when it counts. Pulling off a great speech or the pivotal at-bat also requires the right kind of mental preparation. In his new book, PSYCHED UP, journalist Daniel McGinn dives into the latest psychological research and interviews athletes, soldiers, entertainers and others who, despite years of practice and enviable track records, will ultimately be judged on their ability to deliver a solid performance when it’s their turn to shine. Daniel McGinn discusses: Why trying to calm backstage jitters can be worse for your performance than channeling it into excitement How meaningless rituals can do more to prepare you in the final moments than last-minute rehearsal How a prescription from your doctor could help you unleash your best skill How Jerry Seinfeld’s jacket and Stephen Colbert’s pen help them get laughs What General Stanley McChrystal said to Special Forces before they entered the battlefield Why the New England Patriots hired the DJ for the Red Sox to help them win How Muhammad Ali turned trash-talking into an art form. Whether you’re a sportsperson or a salesperson, an actor or an entrepreneur, one bad hour can throw away months of hard work. There’s so much conflicting popular advice that we often end up doing the wrong things. McGinn separates the facts from the old wives’ tales and shares new, research driven strategies for activating your talent, optimizing your emotions, and getting psyched up to take the spotlight. About the Author:DANIEL MCGINN is a senior editor at Harvard Business Review. His writing has appeared in Wired, Inc., the Boston Globe Magazine, and Newsweek. He lives in suburban Boston with his family.
