Amplify Your Strengths | Todd Herman on alter egos, secret identities and how to get out of your own way

There are critical moments in all of our lives that could
potentially be great opportunities for growth and expansion --
any high stakes situation such as an interview, a pitch, an
important meeting. However, so many of us aren’t prepared to take
advantage of those opportunities because we lack the tools and
skills necessary to execute when we need it most. And ultimately,
we miss out on what could be life-changing moments, and we end up
not living up to our potential.


In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, we sit down with
performance coach and advisor, Todd Herman. Todd is the Founder
of The Peak Athlete, a mental toughness training & sports
science research company, advising Pro & Olympic athletes for
over 18 years. He’s also creator of 'The 90 Day Year' Program, a
goal achievement system used by athletes, entrepreneurs and
companies like, Shell, Goldman Sachs, Cisco Systems and
Government agencies around the world. The Boston Herald has
called him "A Sports Training Superstar" and he’s also the author
of the forthcoming book - The Alter Ego Effect: How The World’s
Top Performers Use Secret Identities To Win In Sport, Business
& Life.


Todd discusses just why we have a hard time adapting to
high-pressure situations, and delves into the power of alter egos
- or what he refers to as “secret identities” - and how they
allow us to magnify certain parts of our personality when we need
it most. Because we have the capacity to create who we want to
be, in any situation, and we have the potential to reach any of
our goals - as long as we learn how to get out of our own way.
