Taking mindset advice from an expert in ... [something else]

Speak to a hundred coaches or experts and you are going to get a hundred different interpretations of what mindset is, what it does, how to go about mastering it and even why it's important.

This makes understanding mindset, let alone working effectively with it, challenging.

And yet there's hardly a coaching or training program our there, from sports to marketing to product development, that does not dedicate at least a section to mindset. And in almost every case that section begins by stressing the overwhelming importance of mindset.

And although they're experts in their field and their intentions honourable, they're not experts in mindset.

But as coaches, consultants, educators and merchants of information and transformation, we all make this mistake. We are designed or pre-programmed to help.

I've noticed though that it happens more with mindset, and I assume it's because mindset forms such an integral part of everything we do. We are such an integral part of everything we do.
