Episode Synopsis

This podcast focuses on the many benefits of striving for excellence or a thriving life, even if you don't make it. It is not actually about reaching excellence, but rather the journey to get there.One large obstacle many people feel exists in reaching for a thriving life is that it isn't possible to achieve it. There are too many daily struggles, obstacles or challenges to possibly reach it.I hear a similar logic around why one shouldn't reach for excellence since it is apparently impossible to reach. But it turns out there are so many benefits to yourself, how you manage projects, and your teamwork from trying to achieve a thriving life or striving for excellence. I have pulled together evidence and practice-based benefits of reaching for a thriving life or striving for excellence, for:YourselfFor how you manage your projects (yes, it has a positive impact on your project management skills)Your teamworkIn this podcast, we:Start by explaining what I mean by excellence, thriving, and a fulfilled lifeGive you 5 ways that striving for excellence, even if you don’t reach it, helps you out on a personal levelGive you 6 more ways that from a neuroscience perspective, it will help you out on a personal level6 ways that it will help you manage projects5 ways that striving for excellence or a thriving life will help your team at work3 Reasons why it worksGive you tactical ways you can apply it to your life  New Membership to Plan and Manage Projects, Transformation, and Achieve High PerformanceIn this episode, I talked a few times about planning and managing projects.
