How Meditation Made Me Strong

The surprising way you can build executive presence and confidence. [Coach.me Logo]( Coach.me Newsletter Do you meditate? If not, I wonder if it's because you associate meditation with serene passivity, or as something unhappy people are supposed to do to fix themselves. That's a common misconception. It almost couldn't be more wrong! First of all, I don't believe that you're "broken" at all, and I certainly don't believe that meditation will fix everything that can go wrong in life. Secondly, meditation is not for passive people. Meditation is a foundational habit for elite performers in business, sports, and the arts. These are active, dynamic people who accomplish bodacious goals. They are not passive, to say the least! These kinds of people have something we call "presence". There's just something about them. They make it look easy. I want to share what I've learned about this by coaching you through in our [Heavy Mental]( training module, Meditation for the New Executive Presence.

How Meditation Made Me Strong I always liked pushing into new ground and being a leader. In my first jobs in the software business, though, I ran into frustration quite often. I’d find myself in situations where I knew I was right. But it’s not enough to just be right…you have to convince other people that you’re right. And I had a tendency to doubt myself and back down. I was "out-alphaed" by some of the people I worked with...I couldn't even look them in the eye! This gave me no confidence—and hence no power—in those situations. When I first tried to raise money to build the company, dozens of investors turned me down. What they told me was that I was too “soft”—that I wasn’t CEO material. It was crushing. I feared that might mean that I would have to become some kind of authoritarian bombast to get my funding. That’s not the kind of person I wanted to be. Fortunately, my executive coach suggested meditation...in a setting with real leaders who also meditated. It changed my life. This was the kind of leader I wanted to be! I tell more of this story in this module, and we'll look at other stories of how meditation helps you to be more effective in doing work that aligns with your own values. We're not going to address meditation as a way to block or even "control" your emotions. Instead, we'll use it to examine thoughts and emotions to learn their deeper meanings and get full confidence in the action you take as a result of them. It's totally cool, and I think you're going to love what this brings to your life. You, too, can be the kind of person that people look to as a trusted, calm authority. You'll find a renewed resilience to the chaos of situations around you. And you'll feel confident to tackle bigger projects than you ever imagined.
