Mark Divine’s 5 Mountains
Divine (sealfit.com) uses 5 mountains to his approach to leadership to develop skills in physical, mental, emotional, intuitional and spiritual arenas. Some of the things these 5 mountains tap into are:
Asking yourself “What’s your why?”
Finding your set point by taking a stand, finding your purpose and embracing versus running from risk, loss and failure
Developing front site focus
Envisioning your goal by seeing it, believing it and making it happen
Taking your eyes off yourself
Burning your boat
Excelling in chaos
Making variety a habit
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
