Key Insights

Why did Heather Moyse decide to pursue bobsledding at the age of 27 with only five months before the Olympics?

Heather was drawn to the challenge of seeing if she could learn a new sport and qualify for the Olympics in such a short time. She didn't consider it high stakes and had a supportive family that wasn't conditional on her performance outcomes.

How did Heather Moyse's upbringing influence her mindset and approach to challenges?

Heather's parents instilled values of family time and unconditional support, which created a safety net for her to try new things without fear of failure. They also taught her visualization and breaking down goals into manageable steps, focusing on the 'how' rather than the 'can'.

What is the significance of the 'how can I' mindset in Heather Moyse's approach to goals?

The 'how can I' mindset shifts focus from binary outcomes (yes/no) to finding solutions and possibilities. It simplifies the path to achieving goals by breaking them down into smaller steps, making the journey more manageable and empowering.

How does Heather Moyse view the role of belief in achieving high-stakes goals?

Heather believes that belief in the possibilities, rather than guarantees, is crucial. She emphasizes the importance of challenging oneself to see how close one can get to a goal, which can lead to unexpected achievements and personal growth.

What advice would Heather Moyse give to her 27-year-old self before pursuing the Olympics?

Heather would advise her younger self that she is capable of more than she thinks and to embrace the challenge. She would remind herself that potential is just talent that hasn't been realized yet and to doubt her doubts.

How does Heather Moyse define her purpose in life post-athletics?

Heather defines her purpose as empowering others to see the possibilities in their lives, regardless of challenges. She uses her platform to inspire and coach people, helping them take their lives and businesses to the next level.

Heather believes that many limiting beliefs stem from limited exposure and assumptions rather than overt doubts. She encourages people to challenge their assumptions and doubt their doubts by asking 'are you sure?' to uncover their true capabilities.

How does Heather Moyse adapt her mindset and physical approach to excel in varied sports like rugby, bobsledding, and cycling?

Heather focuses on her explosive power and nervous system, which are transferable across sports. She also embraces the challenge of each sport, breaking down goals into manageable steps, and visualizing the process to maintain motivation and clarity.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Shift from "Can I?" to "How can I?": Changing the question from a binary "Can I?" to an open-ended "How can I?" encourages a focus on solutions and possibilities rather than limitations.
  • Embrace Challenges: Viewing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow can foster resilience. Instead of fearing failure, approach goals with curiosity about how close you can achieve them.
  • Visualization and Goal Breakdown: Breaking goals into smaller, manageable steps and visualizing the process can help maintain motivation and clarity on the path forward.
  • Support Systems: A strong support system that values you for who you are rather than your performance can provide a safety net that encourages risk-taking and exploration.
  • Gamify the Process: Treating goal achievement as a game—asking "How close can I get?"—can make the journey enjoyable and reduce the pressure associated with high-stakes outcomes.
  • Resilience Through Experience: Learning from setbacks and understanding that highly unlikely outcomes do not equate to impossibility can strengthen mental fortitude.
