The bison mindset

The Bison Mindset is about how we, as humans, face adversity. Growing up in Colorado, I was taken by the plains of Colorado, where you can see flat land as far as the eye can see. Storms would roll off the majestic Rocky Mountains and onto the Eastern plains of Colorado. It was a fantastic sight to see. As I grew beyond my childhood, I began to understand that various animals would respond in different ways when these storms would roll through. Birds would find a place to land to wait out the storm, and the ground rodents would crawl safely into their holes. Horses would stand and turn their backs on the storm so the wind and rain or snow would not hit them in the face. While all the animals were taking cover in anticipation of the storm, two animals would respond in unique ways. First was the typical cow. The cows would also turn away from the story, but rather than stand there, they would begin to move as a herd to attempt to “outrun” the storm. This would only mean that they spent more time in the storm and would experience the storm for an extended period. Then there was the mighty bison. The bison would sense a storm coming, and it would turn directly into the storm and begin to walk majestically into it. The bison would attack the upcoming adversity head-on and remain in the storm for less time.That is what the Bison Mindset is all about. It is about creating a mindset of facing our adversities head-on with confidence. It is learning skills and creating strength of character to move us in and through the storms of life that cause most people to either run, hide, or freeze. If you are an individual or a team that would like to move as the mighty bison and grow in your ability to attack adversity, I would love to work with you to assist you in becoming a strong and mighty elite performer, just like the bison.
