Lions Quest Canada’s Post

In Saving Private Ryan, Capt. Miller (Tom Hanks) rallies resources from fractured units to draw in advancing Germans for ambush and to control a bridge until air support arrives. Pvt. Mellish (Adam Goldberg) then barks to Cpl. Upham, who outranks Mellish but is otherwise useless with a weapon, “You’d better be Johnny-On-The-Spot with the ammo…or we’re all dead.” That line always struck me. Cpl. Upham was a translator, a putz, and later shows his cowardice. His character is not really redeemable. But what Pvt. Mellish implied was that if Upham was not competent with a weapon, he at least had better be reliable enough to distribute of ammo within the team during the fight. This is a lesson to all of us. As we grow, we strive for additional competences in expanding areas. But where we are not yet competent, we can at the very least be reliable with what we can do. For everyone - especially young professionals - remember to be Johnny-On-The-Spot with the ammo, figuratively. Competence will come after reliability, and that creates the one-two punch your colleagues and clients will value. #insurance #claims #Louisiana

The finest creation of my life so far — a true testament to our culture at Circle, The crystal-clear brief, the spot-on feedback, the support, the space & freedom to just be me — they’ve trusted me with everything, and it’s made all the difference. This isn’t just work for me, it’s a piece of my heart. So proud of this one, and many more to come! (I can write a whole chapter on this, but will let you watch our video)

Skills sets in sports traditionally centred on physical, observable parameters like skill level etc. This evolved to include tangible metrics of ‘form’ e.g. player stats that detail how well a player may have done over a particular period. “The thing we have analysed more than anything else when we’ve been picking England squads is the psychological… can these guys perform under that pressure to the best possible level? And if not, can we help them to do that?” Gareth Southgate details how psychological skills now form one pillar upon which player selection for the England squad is based. He details skills like recovery from mistakes, performance under pressure and sustained attention as key attributes of the elite player. “In the end that makes the difference between the very, very good and the elite” These skills fall into the broad category of ‘executive functions’. Like any other metric, they can measured and - more than that - trained and improved. We no longer have to view psychological skills as static and innate. They develop, evolve and can grow over time. Like the early adopters of any new evidence and technology, those players, coaches and teams who embrace this growing body of scientific evidence will see the benefits before the rest.

Growing the game takes leaders, vision, activation and teamwork.

Incredible insights from Gareth Southgate and a stark reminder of how important it is to equip founders, entrepreneurs, professionals and athletes with the right tools to manage their psychology in high-performance environments. Key takeaways: - Mentality is everything - Drive matters - A constant desire to get better is essential - The ability to deal with mistakes or when things go wrong is vital - Knowing how to deal with success is just as important - Understanding ways to handle pressure is necessary As a founder, team leader or employee, can you perform at the highest level, day in and day out? Through lots of unknown variables? Through pressure? Through the opinions of naysayers and non-believers? Through consecutive bad quarters? Through failure? Through pessimistic macro environments? Through big changes? As the future of work continues to transform, as teams become more and more distributed, and as companies understand that the only thing that matters is how competent and kind their people are (not where they live or what their salary expectations are), high-performance will become a core value that companies seek, develop, mould and enable. High performance will apply to everyone. Thanks for sharing Steven Caulker 👌🏻 #embraceyourprocess

Glenda Morgan reports that as of May 10th, FAFSA completions for high school students are 17.2% below last year’s numbers. This gap is even more pronounced among lower-income and high-minority districts, both showing a 20.1% decrease. The variations between states are striking, with Mississippi seeing a 25.0% drop and Indiana a 3.8% decrease. This decline will undoubtedly impact enrollment this year and, as Morgan highlights in her recent article, possibly next fall as well. At Anthology, we partner with institutions, acting as an extension of their teams, to ensure they have the capacity to serve students who want to enroll but face barriers. Our tailored outreach strategies help re-engage prospective and current students supporting student success and helping to mitigate enrollment declines. Let’s work together to bridge these gaps and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed. #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #EnrollmentManagement #FAFSA
