World Leading Psychologist: How To Succeed In Life & World: Jamil Qureshi

And this is why Tiger Woods keeps working. This is why Warren Buffett keeps working. It's why Richard Branson keeps working. (whoosh) The only way in which businesses or people will become successful and truly perform to their optimum is ... Amazing question. I think that's one, probably the best question I've ever been asked. (instrumental music plays)

Jamil, thank you for joining me today, sir. It's a pleasure to have you here so early in the morning. I, I typically on this podcast will, won't introduce people because, um, I, I, I'll do a little bit of a pre-introduction, but your, your background and the work you've done, specifically with high-performance people and successful people, is so compelling and fascinating that I feel like I want you to introduce yourself. And I read through your bio-

(laughs)

... multiple times, and it was deeply inspiring, and, uh, I think without an introduction, everything we talk about from here on, without the perfect introduction, which I feel like only you'll give, everything we talk about from here on, um, might not have the c- the context it needs to have. So, who is Jamil Qureshi?

Uh, I'm a performance coach and psychologist. So, I've sort of spent my time working with some very good sports teams, some very good business teams, um, some-

You're being humble, aren't you? (laughs)

... some, some successful people. And I guess what I do is I help people cultivate a mindset for success.

Mm-hmm.

So I would say that for us to act differently, we need to think differently. If we're gonna create different behaviors, different actions, this is about creating different thoughts first. So, so I, I guess what I do more than anything else is help people change their mind. So, um, all I see is new, new opportunities, new possibilities that will come from new perspectives. So a lot of my time is spent working with people, not to give them new skills, but more to, uh, allow them to understand the skills that they've already got, and then create a perspective for them to use it differently. So, um, as a performance coach, I think everyone can be better, everyone can perform better. At home, it's just a matter of, I guess, trying to create the mindset, the attitude, um, I guess some of the precursors to those per- to the performance which are, which are beneficiary to- which are of benefit to them.

And so you said that everybody has the skills. And I, I, I, I, you know, I, I see that in a lot of my friends. I see that they have a lot more sort of, um, natural capabilities than they've managed to sort of give the world through their actions. If someone has an ambition to be something, if they have the ambition to be, you know, a sports, uh, star, I know you've worked with a lot of athletes and you've worked with business people, or they wanna start a business, what you tend to see, uh, and what I tend to see in my inbox is a lot of people with intention, but there seems to be something preventing that intention from turning into action, or, like, behavior.
