# Champion's Identity^(™) _A champion's mindset for anyone facing pressure_

Four parts: belief, perspective, choice and response. Together they shape how you
respond when life knocks you down, and who you choose to be next.

 Champion’s Belief

How it works

## How the four parts work together

When life knocks you down, all four come into play. What you believe shapes what
you see. What you see shapes what you choose. What you choose becomes how you respond.

01

### Belief

You believe in yourself first, no matter who does or does not believe in you.

Go to Belief

02

### Perspective

Say ‘I get to’ instead of ‘I have to,’ and see challenges as stepping stones.

Go to Perspective

03

### Choice

At any moment, you have the power to make a different choice.

Go to Choice

04

### Response

When you get knocked down, you control what you do next.

Go to Response

Every response builds the next belief

Under pressure, people fall back on who they believe they are.

A Champion’s Identity™ changes what people fall back on when the pressure hits. 
That’s why the change lasts after the room clears and the motivation wears off.

## Belief

You believe in yourself first, no matter who does or does not believe in you.

“No matter who does or who does not believe in you, always believe in yourself!”

What this part covers

Removing limiting beliefs

Replacing them with more helpful beliefs

Moving from “I can’t” to “How can I?”

Self-confidence that holds when others doubt you

## Perspective

Say ‘I get to’ instead of ‘I have to.’ See challenges as stepping stones instead
of roadblocks, and be grateful for the small things.

“When you change your perspective you can change your life.”

What this part covers

Keeping life in perspective

Stress and thought management

Seeing failures as learning experiences

Looking at the positive: “I get to” instead of “I have to”

## Choice

At any moment, you have the power to make a different choice. Every choice you make
helps develop who you will become.

“I believe life is a series of choices you make.”

What this part covers

Choosing the identity you move forward in

Taking responsibility and owning the decision

Planning and realistic, achievable goal-setting

Telling what matters from what matters less

 Taught in [ Keynotes ](https://richierotten.com/sales-keynote-speaker/#sp-03) [ Workshops ](https://richierotten.com/workshops/)
[ Coaching ](https://richierotten.com/coaching/)

## Response

When you get knocked down, you control what you do next. You get up and take the
next step.

“You can’t always control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond.”

This is the kick-out moment. You are on your back and the count has started. You
reset, you choose who you are, and you respond before three.

What this part covers

Controlling emotions under pressure

The reset: pause, breathe, choose, respond

Getting back up after setbacks

Focus and time management when it counts
