Avoid a Negative Mantra

Your mantra, the phrase you have in your head, has a big impact on how you show up.

We have been talking about the idea of mantras for years. 

In feedback conversations, when presenting on stage, or when walking into a meeting, if you have a negative mantra, you reduce the chances for a good outcome.  

The first step is being aware when you have a negative mantra.  And the next step:  get a better mantra.
