It’s Both Art and Science: Dr. Jesse Michel on Aligned Environments and How the World’s Best Pay Attention

Pete Kadushin, PhD Episode 31

My guest today is Dr. Jesse Michel. Jesse helps lead the Performance Psychology Program at Deloitte, where his team provides support and services to over 8500 principals, partners, and managing directors across the US. Previously, he spent four years as the mental skills coordinator for the Houston Astros, and another four years before that as the Lead Master Resilience Trainer at the Army’s Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Training Center. Simply put, he has a diverse background and a sharp skillset, and he poured out a ton of pearls of wisdom in this conversation! 

In this episode, Jesse shares how he has changed his mind to focus more on the environments we create. He riffs on the art and science of coaching, providing some actionable tools for anyone in leadership positions to use, and then closes with a discussion of how important high quality attention is to peak performers across disciplines.
