Golf Psychology
Do you arrive at the golf course hoping that your A game will show up as well? Do you have a system for insuring concentration will be zoned in?
Concentration, and the ability to focus on the present task while ignoring all outside distractions, is one of the most important mental skills in golf. Players who give consistent performances know how to concentrate and stay focuses by fine-tune their minds.
Introverts
You’ll probably know the introverts when you see them. They’ll be quieter, dressed a bit more conventionally, and will prefer to listen or ask questions than talk about themselves.

Walter Savage Landor was spot on when he said, “Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose direction and begin to bend.” In both our professional and private life, direction is critical to not only achieve success and reach goals we have set, but it also determines how well we walk the life we choose.
In the context of business, direction is of invaluable importance as it determines where the business (along with it’s employees) will eventually find itself. Natalie MacNeil, entrepreneur and author of She Takes on the World gave valuable insight on the subject while writing for Forbes. We have taken the liberty to reblog the three questions (from the ten Natalie covers in her book) she recommends businesses ask in order to gain direction.

When working with individuals and teams we often find that the following three realities mess with their ability to start of the year powerfully: 1.) They lose their why in the holiday season, 2.) Their vision gets blurred and 3.) They focus on the loss of the good times and therefore lack drive.
Let us review these three factors.
