In this episode, I dive into something that’s been a complete game-changer in my business and personal life—what I call the PPO Method: Pre-Performance Outcomes. We’ve all had tough conversations—whether with an employee, a spouse, or a potential client—that went sideways fast. But what if you could set yourself up to win before you even open your mouth?
Today, I’m walking you through the exact four-step mental framework I use before any important conversation or task. This method helps create emotional clarity, intentional energy, and clear outcomes—leading to better relationships, stronger leadership, and more successful negotiations. Whether you’re heading into a sales meeting or spending time with your kids, this is how you show up with purpose.
