Chunking it down to what matters

One of the interesting elements in life is that you can learn from people everywhere. I am always fascinated to hear someone who is very skillful talk about their passion. Of particular note is the fact that Emma-Jayne Wilson became the first female jockey to win the Queen's Plate, riding 15-to-1 long shot Mike Fox to a thrilling victory Sunday June 24th in the 148th running at Toronto's Woodbine Racetrack.

During the interview she talked a lot about her strategy and I felt her words were jewels that anyone could benefit from hearing. She uses a lot of visualization to help her clarify her goal and then chunks it down into concrete actions she can take. This comes form asking herself questions like:

  • What is it you do?
  • What do you expect the outcome to be?
  • How are you going to make that happen?

You can listen to an interview with her on the CBC PodCast here:
