Peak Performance Coach Todd Herman refers to this hat as s totem. Todd’s book The Alter Ego Effect shares how an “object” can invoke a particular personality. Winston Churchill spent a fair amount of time before choosing the hat he would wear as he was to became Prime Minister by the King of England. Martin Luther King wore glasses to invoke a sense of confidence and bring focus to his delivery of his incredible speeches. If you have never listen to his speeches I highly recommend taking time to listen to his words. Both Churchill and King used “Props” to invoke the same tool you can use to show up as your best, smartest, savviest or funniest self and that tool is known as the Alter Ego.

Stephanie Carlson professor and Director of Child Development at the University of Minnesota. Took four year olds and split them in two small groups. They placed a toy in a clear box and gave the children an assortment of keys to a locked box. What the children were not told is that none of the keys would not open the box. The researcher’s told one group to select a character they could pretend they were while they performed this task. Someone like Batman or Dora The Explorer they even had the option to wear a cape. Professor Carlson already knew children are inclined to pretend to play. What the researcher’s were looking for was how these children bring pretend to play into a serious task. The other group were not given any special instructions. They were using what is called their Executive Functioning which includes Flexible Thinking Working Memory Impulse Control The children who took on a character and pretended that they were Batman or Dora The Explorer as they attempted to open the box seemed to be more relaxed flexible thinkers than those who didn’t. They spent more time to try to open the box, they tried more keys and over all they were more calmer. As one child stated, “Batman Doesn’t Get Frustrated”.

Creating an Alter Ego is about taking some of those qualities that makes the person so great at what they do and applying them to that field of play for you personally. Thank you for watching! Thank you for sharing! We hope you are inspired to Like ~ Subscribe and Click on the bell 🔔 ALL episodes.
