7 Habits of High Performers: James Laughlin on Mindset & Success

James Laughlin is a high-performance coach. He hosts his own podcast called “Lead on Purpose” and he has just written a book: “Habits of High Performance.”

He works with top leaders and athletes around the world, helping them build resilience, clarity, and habits that drive success.

He knows his stuff too- before becoming a coach he was officially the world’s best pipe band drummer. A title he held for 7 years

This podcast episode has a couple of objectives- getting to know a bit more about James and who he is. And tapping into his knowledge so we can all get more out of life.

Some stuff we cover in this conversation includes:

The seven truths that define high achievers.

The importance of balancing work and family life.

The power of gratitude.

The importance of self-reflection in personal growth and so much more.

I’ve been a fan of James' work for years and we have become mates, so it was an honor to spend this time with him. I hope it leaves you feeling motivated and charged for life.
