Mental Preparation Secrets of Top Athletes, Entertainers, and Surgeons

Dan McGinn, senior editor at Harvard Business Review, talks about
what businesspeople can learn from how top performers and athletes
prepare for their big moments. In business, a big sales meeting,
presentation, or interview can be pivotal to success. The same goes
for pep talks that motivate employees. McGinn talks about both the
research and practical applications of mental preparation and
motivation. He’s the author of the book, "Psyched Up: How the
Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed." His article,
“The Science of Pep Talks,” is in the July-August 2017 issue of
Harvard Business Review.
