#39: Rich Diviney Explains: 25 Hidden Attributes that Drive High Performance

Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL commander and author
of “The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance “. In
a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than
thirteen overseas deployments—eleven of which were to Iraq and
Afghanistan. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized
command, Diviney spearheaded the creation of a
directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines.
He led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that
helped special operators train their brains to perform faster,
longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.
Since his retirement in early 2017, Diviney has worked as
a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman &
Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. He’s
taught leadership and optimal performance to more than
five thousand business, athletic, and
military leaders from organizations such as American
Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, Pegasystems, Zoom,
and Deloitte. Rich believes that SEALs are regular people who have
found out how to leverage strengths and improve weaknesses (often
by getting help from teammates) to get the most out of themselves.
The same methodology that Diviney used in the military can be
applied by anyone in their personal and professional lives, and
understanding these attributes can allow (listeners), readers and
their teams to perform optimally, at any time, in any situation.
Diviney defines the core attributes in fresh and practical ways and
shares stories from the military, business, sports, relationships,
and even parenting to show how understanding your own attributes
and those of the people around you can create optimal performance
in all areas of your life.
