Former star pitcher, competitive bull rider, and combat veteran Wylie McGraw lives every day in peak performance mode. By intentionally putting himself in situations that pushed him to his limit, he discovered his superpower: exposing negative beliefs and behaviors that prevent people from tapping into their greatest potential. Now he works with powerful CEOs and business leaders to radically accelerate growth and promote optimal performance.
Many people are plagued by their own personal demons created by stress, trauma, and setbacks seen as failures. Instead of facing them head-on and learning to pivot, most give up. Wylie’s approach may seem countercultural in that he challenges people to push themselves outside of their comfort zones. Rather than simply touting this theory as the next self-help hot topic, he expects clients to actually put it into practice by doing the things that scare them the most. This is where real growth occurs. Self mastery demands a willingness and tenacity to show up every day ready to push life to the limits. With discipline and accountability, leaders hone themselves into the best version they can be in order to powerfully impact their relationships and communities.
