What if confidence, not talent, was the real driver of performance? In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, we reveal why confidence is a business strategy, not a soft skill.

Today on the High Performance Mindset, I'm talking with someone who is truly changing the way we think about work and wellbeing. Jen Fisher is a global leader in this space — and honestly, she's just one of those people who makes you feel seen and grounded the moment she starts talking. Jen was Deloitte's first-ever Chief Well-Being Officer, which basically means she helped a massive organization rethink what it really means to support people. Her passion comes from her own journey through burnout and cancer, and she's used those experiences to build a career focused on helping leaders create work cultures where people can actually flourish, not just survive. She's the bestselling author of Work Better Together, the host of The WorkWell Podcast, a TEDx speaker, and the founder of The Wellbeing Team. But what I love most is her belief that hope isn't just a feeling… it's a strategy. And she helps leaders put that strategy into action. In this conversation, Jen and I dive into burnout, the future of work, wellbeing intelligence, and what it really takes to create organizations where people feel energized and valued. You're going to walk away feeling inspired — and maybe rethinking a thing or two about how you work and lead. HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE

Send us a textEver catch yourself saying, “I'll be happy when I hit the goal”? Let's break that loop. We dive into gratitude as a performance tool, not a consolation prize—how to be proud of the work you're doing now while still chasing the next level. I walk through the mindset shift from delayed happiness to daily appreciation, and why that shift keeps you grounded, motivated, and hard to burn out.We explore the moving goalpost problem: ambition expands your targets, which is healthy, but only if your gratitude expands too. I share personal stories from opening a gym to pursuing franchises, and how respecting the struggle made the wins mean more. You'll hear how to reframe imposter syndrome by becoming living proof for those a few steps behind, and why specific, timely thanks to your “home team” and work team creates a powerful ripple effect. We talk simple scripts for acknowledging support, recognizing invisible privileges of progress, and using feedback—good or bad—to sharpen your edge.The fire metaphor runs through the episode: each new level has its own heat, and fewer people choose to walk through it. That's your advantage. Learn how to read the current season with perspective, audit the actions and inactions that built your present results, and draw a clear line between wanting more and doing the work that makes more inevitable. Gratitude in the grind won't make you complacent; it gives you the capacity to carry bigger goals without losing yourself.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who's in the thick of it, and leave a quick review with one thing you're grateful for today.

Hello IMPACT SHOW passengers, this is your captain speaking —Todd Durkin, coming to you LIVE from 35,000 feet altitude somewhere between San Diego and Whitefish, Montana! This one's different as I could not contain my excitement enroute to Montana for our annual Mountain Retreat. I just HAD to hit record because my mind was in major FLOW mode and the lessons were downloading! This episode is all about MINDSET — how to stay calm in chaos, find clarity in the climb, and keep your faith strong even when life gets turbulent. Because just like flying, life doesn't always give you smooth air. But you can always control your response, your attitude, and your altitude. Here's What You'll Learn in Episode 453: 1. You Can't Control the Turbulence — But You CAN Control Your Response. Life's gonna shake you. Business dips, plans get flipped, curveballs come outta nowhere. But high performers? They don't panic — we breathe, we stay calm, and we trust our training. I share exactly what happened on my flight this past week and how to navigate life's storms with poise, peace, and purpose. 2. High Altitude = High Awareness. When you rise above the weeds, you see the big picture. Up here, the clarity is unreal. I talk about how to "get above the noise" so you can see your mission, your purpose, and your life from a higher perspective — because clarity doesn't come in chaos; it comes in stillness. And you can't see the vision when you're stuck on the runway. 3. Pre-Flight Rituals = Peak Performance Habits. Every pilot has a pre-flight checklist — and you need one too. I walk you through my own daily ritual: movement, gratitude, journaling, & prayer. These habits anchor me, fuel me, and set the tone for the day. Because I'm telling you — when you win the morning…you win the day; and when you win the day(s)…you ultimately win the weeks, months, quarters, and year(s). 4. Your Final Destination Is Determined by Your Dreams. We all need more "blue-sky" time. We all need more "white-space" in our daily rituals. It's powerful to have some built-in, regular time to write, think, dream, and ultimately do. That's why I'm also firing off 10 powerful questions to get you dreaming again — your Big 5 for Life, your Big 5 for 2026, and what God is whispering in this season. Don't drift. Don't settle. And now is a GREAT time of the year to start 'dreaming.' 5. Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude. You cannot fly high if you're surrounded by people who live low. Protect your energy. Fuel your mind with gratitude and growth. Surround yourself with people who elevate, inspire, and challenge you. Because the higher you go, the thinner the air — and the fewer the distractions. Key Takeaways: Mindset determines your mission. You can't control the turbulence, but you can control your response. Calm is a superpower. Gratitude is rocket fuel. Dream boldly. Live purposefully. Fly with faith. The world needs your energy, faith, and fire — at full altitude. My friends — life's going to have turbulence. We are going to have seasons where life is "bumpy" to say the least. It's important during those times to stay calm; Stay grateful; Stay focused; and stay tapped-in. Keep your seatbelt fastened, your faith strong, and your mindset sky-high. It's time for take-off…it's time for IGNITION!

In this episode of the High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explores one of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make: choosing the meaning we assign to our experiences. She shares a story of coaching a senior executive who was initially devastated after being passed over for a promotion. But by reframing the experience and asking, “How is this happening for me?”, the executive discovered a more aligned, fulfilling path—and ultimately created a new role within her company that better matched her strengths. The meaning she gave the event became her fuel for growth. Cindra explains that successful people condition their minds daily to see opportunity in difficulty. They deliberately choose empowering meanings—not because it's easy, but because it leads to greater resilience, clarity, and long-term success. You'll learn: Why your brain is wired to avoid pain and how to override that instinct The difference between interpreting challenges as happening to you vs. for you How to reframe past and current experiences for growth Key questions to ask yourself to reassign empowering meaning Cindra also shares her own story of turning a personal professional setback into a powerful realignment moment—and why choosing the right meaning can change not just your outcomes, but your identity and future. This Week's Power Phrase: “I see the opportunity in every difficulty. Life is happening for me not to me.” Quote of the Week: “Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late.” — Byron Katie
In this episode of the High Performance Mindset, we dive into the power of emotional agility—the skill of being present with your emotions without letting them take the wheel. Backed by cutting-edge research, we explore how processing and labeling emotions can reduce distress, enhance performance, and improve your ability to lead and live with purpose. You'll learn: Why emotional agility is a key to resilience, leadership, and well-being. The three essential steps to becoming emotionally agile: noticing, labeling, and choosing action aligned with your values. How to shift from “I am anxious” to “I'm noticing I feel anxious”—and why that subtle reframe matters. Why emotions are data, not directives—and how that mindset gives you back control. Whether you're an athlete, leader, or high achiever under pressure, this episode will help you respond with intention, not reactivity, and become the kind of person who leads with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses what it takes to build a fulfilling career and how it's not necessarily the most talented or best-connected people who achieve fulfillment. It's about cultivating intentionality and setting a vision to act on. She explains how to do the work when it's uncomfortable and to stop waiting for the perfect moment to arrive before we start acting on our goals. Cindy offers a guide for not just having a plan but acting on it without holding out for a mysterious invitation or ideal moment.There is a tendency to wait for the perfect conditions before forging ahead into the progress we want to see in our careers. But waiting for life to beckon us in is futile. Building the career we want starts by just taking a step forward on a random Tuesday. It's about doing something today, even if it's slightly uncomfortable. Cindy offers advice on how we can create momentum to make the first steps less daunting. Once we start moving, we build self-trust and confidence, the foundation of success.Cindy explores why adaptability is essential to building our careers, but why adaptation without direction will allow us to be blown off-course. We need to develop a steady core that includes our values and sense of purpose to create anchors for ourselves. She discusses cultivating mentorship, understanding what energizes us, and developing mental strength instead of relying on luck. Her guidance shows us the path to creating the career that matters most to us.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Doing What It TakesAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

In this episode of the High Performance Mindset podcast, Dr. Cindra shares how the way we talk to ourselves can shape our confidence, performance, and leadership. Drawing from Serena Williams' affirmation practice before winning Wimbledon in 2015, we explore how powerful self-talk can override doubt and pressure—especially when things aren't going perfectly. You'll learn how thought patterns are formed early in life to protect us, and how those same patterns can now limit us unless we choose to rewire them through consistent mental conditioning. This episode covers four tools you can use to shift your mindset, respond to challenges with intention, and talk to yourself in a way that builds strength instead of stress. Power Phrase of the Week: “Speak louder than your doubt.” Quote of the Week: “I am strong. I am a champion. I've got this.” – Serena Williams
In this episode of High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra dives into the science of worry—and how to take back control of your mind and energy. Drawing on research from Dr. Robert Leahy, she shares that 85% of what we worry about never actually happens. Even more powerful: when our fears do come true, we tend to handle them better than expected. Cindra unpacks why our brains are wired to worry—usually about the people and priorities we care most about—and how unchecked worry can steal our joy, drain our energy, and keep us stuck in the future. She then shares three practical strategies to reduce worry: Notice and label your thoughts instead of reacting to them. Schedule a “worry window” to contain anxious thinking. Let go of perfectionism and the need to plan for every possible outcome. The episode closes with a calming power phrase to carry with you: “I quiet my mind and return to the present.” REQUEST A FREE MENTAL BREAKTHROUGH CALL WITH DR.

Acne is one of the most mentally taxing physical struggles out there. We're talking about your face. The thing everyone sees when they, well, see you. Today's guest, Katie Stewart, knows all about this. Katie started developing adult acne from coming off of birth control while she was smack dab in the middle of a film + tv career. Yeah, not ideal. Being on camera all day while feeling insecure about her skin, Katie decided to take matters into her own hands and heal herself from the inside out. Now, Katie is leading a movement - using functional health testing + nutrition to help her clients heal acne from the inside out. On today's show, we're diving into all things skin from the holistic and functional lens, with a special emphasis on the unique challenges high-performing (and therefore... high stress) women face when it comes to skin health and acne.

Episode 67: How to Rewire Your Brain for Peak Performance is LIVE on The Rewired Podcast!
Episode 65: How to Stop Negative Thoughts & Rewire Your Mind for Positivity
In this episode of the High Performance Mindset podcast, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explores the concept of flow, a mental state of complete absorption and peak performance, drawing on insights from sport psychologist Dr. Sue Jackson, who collaborated with Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the pioneer of flow research. The episode highlights how flow occurs when we are fully engaged in meaningful tasks, using our skills to the fullest while staying present in the moment. Cindra outlines three key barriers to flow and encourages you to identify activities where you naturally lose track of time and feel energized, while learning to trust the process and stay focused on the present. The episode wraps with a motivating reminder that flow, like a muscle, strengthens with mindful practice. This Week's Power Phrase: "I will stay in the present trusting that everything unfolds perfectly."
In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra explores the power of positivity and how cultivating positive energy creates a psychological advantage in teams, businesses, and relationships. Research shows that positivity enhances engagement, problem-solving, and resilience, with high-performing teams and successful relationships maintaining a strong positive-to-negative interaction ratio. To harness this power, Dr. Cindra suggests shifting focus to strengths, building a culture of positivity from the top down, and priming yourself for positivity each morning through gratitude, visualization, and Power Phrases. By choosing positivity intentionally, we rewire our brains for success, motivation, and deeper connections. This Week's Power Phrase: "I am a source of positive energy. I inspire, uplift, and bring out the best in myself and those around me. My mindset fuels success and possibility." Quote of the Week: "When you focus on the good, the good gets better." – Abraham Hicks

They hold themselves to insanely high standards in everything they do.This episode is about what separates elite performers from the rest of the pack.I'll share the story of a 20-year-old in Mexico who embodies high-performance mindset better than most grown adults. His level of ownership, attention to detail, and work ethic is exactly what's missing in today's world.The truth is, how you do anything is how you do everything.If you cut corners, avoid responsibility, or operate with an “it's good enough” mindset, you'll never build a successful business.If you want to:✅ Build a thriving business instead of just getting by✅ Develop the mindset of elite performers who refuse to settle✅ Learn what it really takes to stand out in your industry and create massive success…then this episode is for you.I don't care if you agree with me or not.I care about results.So listen to this, take notes, and decide for yourself: Are you willing to raise your standards?
In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra highlights the crucial role of self-compassion in achieving success, using Serena Williams as an example of how elite performers embrace setbacks with kindness rather than self-criticism. Drawing on Dr. Kristen Neff's research, Dr. Cindra outlines three key elements of self-compassion: self-kindness, recognizing common humanity, and practicing mindfulness. By making self-compassion a habit, you can bounce back stronger, reduce stress, and enhance performance. Power Phrase this Week: “I am kind to myself. I am doing the best I can. I got it next time!” Quote of the Week: "Self-compassion is not a luxury; it's a necessity for growth. Embracing our imperfections is what helps us rise stronger." — Kristin Neff
