In this episode we're getting back on the mic with Lauren DiCredico, a Master Resilience Trainer Performance Expert and practicing member of the US Army's CSF2 performance optimization program.  After we shut things down last week we realized that we still had a lot of topics to examine.  So, this episode is going to dive right into the heart of the exercises that Lauren and her colleagues use to get soldiers to achieve their top level performance at home and on the job.  Specifically, we'll be talking about:
How to overcome communication problems.
A surprising factor that can destroy friendships and relationships.
A good way to prepare your friends and family for how they should communicate with you when you're deployed. 
How do you achieve greater self-awareness and how that improves your communication and relationships.
How our unspoken beliefs can warp how we view our teammates.
The best ways to establish connection with your family, teammates, and superiors.
The way that our unrecognized beliefs sabotage our relationships.
How to identify your hidden triggers that set you off.
The power of gratitude journaling in improving your mindset.
How proper breathing techniques can help reduce stress.
The effects that visualizing has on your performance.
