Welcome back to another episode of The Unlimited Potential Show! This week we start a three-part series on Phil Jackson’s “Eleven Rings the Soul To Success”. Phil Jackson is one of the most impactful coaches and players of all time. He has coached prolific teams like the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers to multiple NBA championships.
With nine championship rings for coaching and two as a player under his belt, it’s safe to say he’s figured out the winning strategies it takes to get your team to the top. We had to break this into multiple parts because this book is filled with practices and principles that will help redirect you towards the path of victory.
Today we discuss the remaining principles of “Eleven Rings” and it really all comes down to this: How can you create a culture that forges collective flow and unity? The answer is deeper than you think. By the way, if you missed the first four principles, we encourage you to check out episode 53 and come back when you’re ready!
Join us as we talk about the importance of imbuing common practices with a deeper sense of meaning and connection so that your foundation comes with intention. As well as, why it's pivotal to lead with compassion, how you can get out of your head, Why we become stronger together, and even how preparing for the unpredictable keeps your team strong. These practices are what have made NBA champions time and time again and with a track record like that, we can’t let the opportunity of victory in our lives slip by!
