We were lucky to catch up with Pearce Cucchissi recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Pearce, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
Resilience for me is a constant training process. Our minds find a natural level of comfort so its important to always be searching for holes in our game. Resilience is one of the most important pieces to how we feel and experience life. It’s your ability to quickly bounce back to our chosen state after any sort of stress or emotionally difficult encounter. Even though I spent time in military special operations I continually find ways to increase my resilience. Through physical training, training my breath, my presence, meditations, nervous system, etc. We have to see that the world constantly has a negative pull on our level of resilience, its up to us to be proactive in attaining it. We can always be more resilient, and that is a fulfilling challenge.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
At the core im a coach. A coach to those who have tasted what our society calls “success” but who feel that there is more. Some feel stuck, some feel stressed, some lack purpose, some just know that fear is blocking them from something that will fulfill and enrich their lives. I help them find exactly what they are looking for. This is an in depth process of transformation. We seek maximum levels of impact. I’ve worked with everyone from Billion dollar CEOs, to professional athletes, to entrepreneurs with multiple businesses, but it truly doesn’t matter the business. If we can get the person to operate at a higher level physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, then the rest will fall into place. This is often a life saving process.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The most impactful are relatively basic. Discipline, state management, listening, and reflection. Doing all of these and training yourself to be better will require a deep reason for why you want to develop yourself personally. The biggest thing to start with is a deep understanding of your “why.” This is our foundation, this allows us to be able to execute even when life seems to get in the way. You can train these in many different ways, but the discipline of setting up my practices has been what holds it all together. Humans were meant to grow and learn, we feel best when we are operating that way.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
One of the most important things I’ve done in my life is work with other coaches. It is the drive to continually improve myself personally that has lead to all the amazing things that have happened since leaving the military. Coaches such as Tareq Azim, Shannon Graham, Peter Crone. Doctors such as Michael Miletic, Martin Polanco, and many more. These are the people who have continually guided me to wisdom and helped me see things from a different perspective. We all need a coach, even the absolute best, because only someone else that is not stuck in your own head can give you a certain perspective that is often needed.
