Hello, everyone. This is Dr. Julianne Shin. First of all, I'd like to give a big shout out to Mike for inviting me on the Mike Hartman Show. Sounds like he's got a great audience and I am honored to be able to share some information that might be interesting or helpful to y'. All. So again, My name is Dr. Julianne. I'm a Navy psychologist, and on the coaching side, I am the mindset cure doc. So first of all, before I start, I always like to talk about what exactly is mindset? Because sometimes I feel like it's not very clear when people say that they help with mindset. So mindset essentially is just attitudes held by someone. The way you see your life, it's, it's the most single, probably the single most vital factor influencing your life. And it matters because it affects your personal and professional success, happiness, well being, it depends on your life perspective. So in other words, your mindset basically underscores every aspect of your life from success to satisfaction. So if you have a fixed mindset that can predetermine how you respond and interpret situations, but if you have a growth mindset, then you can be more aware of the situation and gauge it and figure out what might be the best way to handle it or to view it instead of seeing it in one fixed perspective. So real briefly, how I even got to this point of being a psychologist and in the Navy and a coach. So after 24 years in the Marine Corps and two combat veterans, or, I'm sorry, two combat tours and many, many leadership positions and places around the world that I've been sent to, seeing how other people and my troops and my peers have reacted to different situations within a very High performing institution. I learned a lot about high performance and after my COMET tours I was able to see how much mental health is related to mindset. So as a Navy psychologist I do the traditional mental health treatments with the depression and anxiety and more severe mental health illnesses like PTSD or mst, military sexual trauma. But the other part of my job as well is I do coaching for commanders and high performing populations within the military. For example, like the Navy Seals or Marine Corps Recon or even some school, some trainings like the, like the embassy duties, things like that, where we assess performance and how we could best make sure that they come out with the optimal level of performance. So historically I've also coached and treated not just everything above that I just mentioned, but I've also worked with Olympians, hopeful Olympians, CEOs of large companies and entrepreneurs. So the one thing that is common amongst all of these populations is the mental health. So how does my background as a psychologist work as a high performing coach? So when we talk about psychology, it's based off of a lot of sports and performance psychology. So we sometimes forget that a lot of these individuals are not born with physical, with this physical prowess and mental resilience that they have to maintain. There is a tremendous amount of preparation that goes into performing at this level. As I learned when I became a Marine and became an officer and I led my troops to combat, it took a lot of training and preparation to get to that point and be able to function in a way that would save lives and make decisions that were best for everyone and to bring everybody home safely. So the success almost always depends on both physical and mental toughness. So when we talk about psychology, I focus on identifying and applying principles that I learned and that I've learned through experience and schooling and training principles that facilitate this peak performance, enhance physical ability and achieve your optimal human performance. So as a high performing psychologist, I help people overcome problems that impede this performance. Sometimes I'll teach strategies that help them clients maximize their physical prowess. Other, other other clients I'll help to overcome mental mental blocks like anxiety or depression or even a traumatic experience. And it doesn't have to be all of the like I said with ptsd, like combat or something, but traumatic can also be. For example, if an athlete injures themselves or if a surgeon loses a patient on their operating table, this affects their confidence and they have a fear, a phobia about going back on in the field or going back in the operating room. So I help them overcome this fear and gain their confidence Back. Sometimes clients may just need help communicating with colleagues or teammates or even accepting critiques that they get from either their coach or senior leadership. Sometimes all this can really be impacting on their mindset, which in turn impacts their performance. So when we talk about high performing populations, like I just discussed, it's not just athletes, it's not just the Navy Seals, but it's like I said, it's doctors, it can be firefighters, law enforcement, even performing artists and actors and comedians, just some of the more famous comedians that have committed committed suicide because of mental illness. So I like to see the human body is like a vehicle, right? And it needs tune up. You need to feed it right. Right. With the right fluids that the best fuel and oils learn to drive it. Right? And the mind is the same way. Mind, the brain, the mindset, it also needs tune ups and it needs to be fed right and it needs to be coached sometimes because life in general, we're all human. No matter how high performing and optimal we are, sometimes we just need that external perspective to maintain these optimal levels. So with the populations I just discussed, for example, I'm going to use Navy Seals because they're probably most extreme. They get into positions where it is a life threatening event and they need to be able to be optimal with their perspectives and also physically. So as a high performing coaching psychologist, I help them identify what might be impacting their performance. So essentially it's a mental game. All of this is a mental game. When it comes to high performing. You need to be ultimately aware and instinctive. Instinctive to what your body and your mind knows. So in the heat of the battle, I'm going to liken it to Navy seals. But this can also be, this can also be applied to any high performer with high level of stress. Your brain needs to be quiet and alert and have clarity. Clarity of the goals and which direction you're going so that you don't fall prey to external factors that may impede your momentum, that may cause you not to perform at the level that you're used to performing. And when I say external factors, this could be maybe some stress that you have at home or maybe some kind of self doubt. Or for athletes, for example, it's maybe they're worried about what their audience thinks, even with actors. So that this is all, this is the importance of the clarity so that you can focus on that reason, the goal of what you're doing. So you need the alertness, the awareness, the focus. You need to be able to trust in yourself. So I like to call this the sphere of their influence of your personal influence, and a lot of factors in life can impact that sphere of influence. So as a high performing psych coaching psychologist, this is what I do because mental health and mindset is extremely intertwined and I think I feel like it's very underrated. People seem to forget how much emotions and stress and external factors can have such a significant impact on performance.
