Performance Initiative Podcast
The Performance Initiative Podcast was born out of the conviction that we all have room to improve. We all have boundless potential if we have the will and the tools to unlock it. At the Performance Initiative, we are dedicated to finding those tools, sharing them with you, and trying them out for ourselves. A few weeks after each episode, Zinovy and Grant report their experiences trying to put into practice what they have learned from each guest. We invite you to share your experiences -- the good and the bad -- as well. Research and life experience show us that we thrive by sharing our life experiences with each other and learning from them. Each day is a new chance to be better and we welcome you into our community to share and grow with us.
