Are you wondering why your team seems to be stagnant in recent months or years? Often the corporate grind can lead to boredom, making work feel more like drudgery. Shaking up their perspective can help, and booking a peak performance speaker with real-world experience can be a great way to do that.
What can your team learn from this kind of motivational content? One lesson is about the adventure mindset, and how it can change the way they approach success, forever.
What is an Adventure Mindset?
When you think of the phrase “adventure mindset”, you might think of a brave person who thinks only of the most exciting ways of doing things. But that would be a very limited view of what an adventurer does and is.
An adventure mindset is a growth-oriented way of thinking and approaching life. Most of us think of life from a goal-oriented perspective. We set goals for ourselves and structure our lives around achieving them. This is true of business as well; we tend to see our success or failure through the lens of what we have accomplished from a list of goals.
The adventure mindset is focused on growth. The journey is as important – often more so – than the goal. This keeps the adventurer moving ever forward, onwards and upwards to achieve more for the sake of learning and growing, rather than just for the sake of pinning those achievements on a wall somewhere.
How the Adventure Mindset Applies to Business
What does that have to do with corporate success? The way we structure our businesses is often geared toward that goal-oriented way of thinking. While having goals is not inherently bad, those goals can often distract from growth.
Focusing too much on goals means that failing to hit those goals can be detrimental to the motivation of your entire team. Likewise, hitting those goals can also give your employees and management teams a reason to stop pushing for more, or growing in different ways. Introducing a peak performance speaker to your team can inspire them to embrace learning, adaptation, and growth in new areas and new ways, which is crucial for evolving from a small startup to a global, billion-dollar entity. This approach embodies the adventure mindset, equipping your team with the tools they need for the journey ahead.
