Navy Ace and former TOPGUN instructor Bill Driscoll demonstrates how his own life-or-death aerial dogfights, and the preparation for them, can help guide us when making our own high stakes decisions. Bill’s 170 combat missions, 5,200 jet dogfights&nbsp;and the fact that he is one of the highest decorated living Naval flight officers of the past 50 yrs underlies his exceptional performance under pressure. We discuss his incredible career, the missions, his book 'Peak Business Performance Under Pressure: A Navy Ace Shows How to Make Great Decisions in the Heat of Business Battles', and how lessons from these experiences can be used daily to get our mojo working, under pressure. &nbsp; LINKS &nbsp; Bill Driscoll website  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions website  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Patreon   Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon. &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Facebook   &nbsp; Gary on Linked in  &nbsp; Gary on Twitter   &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Instagram   &nbsp; If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;.&nbsp;Happy listening! &nbsp; © 2022 Gary Bertwistle.&nbsp; All Rights Reserved.

EP 319: TOPGUN Naval Ace Bill Driscoll - Performing Under True Pressure

During the break between seasons, we go to Gold School. The Gold School sessions are the episodes I find myself going back to and referring to in my keynotes. &nbsp; Dr Jim Loehr is a world-renowned performance psychologist, researcher, and author of seventeen books. One of them is the bestseller 'The Power of Full Engagement', a book that changed my perspective and focus on planning, performance, time and management. By changing your focus from time management to energy management, it changes the whole game. I don't think I've ever had a guest who has been as articulate, who shared such wonderful stories, and didn't waste time or words in his considered responses to my questions. &nbsp;  LINKS &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions website  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Patreon  Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon. &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Facebook  &nbsp; Gary on LinkedIn  &nbsp; Gary on Twitter  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Instagram  &nbsp; If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on  or .&nbsp;Happy listening! &nbsp; © 2024 Gary Bertwistle.&nbsp; All Rights Reserved. &nbsp;

Gold School EP 4: Dr Jim Loehr - It's Not Time Management, Focus on Energy Management

During the break between seasons, we go to Gold School. The Gold School sessions are episodes I find myself referring back to and refer to in my keynote speeches and those I work with personally. Each one has given me 'gold' that I've adopted into my world or shared to help others be the best they can be, unlock their great ideas and get their Mojo working. &nbsp; Luke Burgis, author of 'Wanting', writes about the study of French Polymath Renee Girard, who coined the term mimetic desire. From the theory of memesis, mimetic desire is how we imitate each other. It's about how someone does something, and then within weeks, it's a thing, everyone is doing it, and it's imitated widely. It's why certain tribes dress the same, speak the same, and have the same desires, good or bad. Well, that's memetic desire. I found it a profound learning and one that I share as much as I can in keynotes. &nbsp;  LINKS &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions website  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Patreon  Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon. &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Facebook  &nbsp; Gary on LinkedIn  &nbsp; Gary on Twitter  &nbsp; The Mojo Sessions on Instagram  &nbsp; If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on  or .&nbsp;Happy listening! &nbsp; © 2024 Gary Bertwistle.&nbsp; All Rights Reserved. &nbsp;

Life is a process of making trades in a quest for a better life. In the gym, we trade an hour of exercise daily for energy and strength. In marriage, we trade novelty for loyalty. As a parent, we trade freedom for fulfilment. There is one trade, however, that becomes less and less appealing as you mature: trading your time for money. Lon Stroschein operates a movement called Normal 40, which is based on helping people make their own life's second half "Trade", where you consider what's next. Is there more?, What am I trading? Is it the right trade? If you have ‘the perfect life’ but still feel unfulfilled, then The Trade is the perfect place to start your journey today.
