You may be wondering what one of the most prominent female figures within the Foreign Exchange community could teach a team of executives at Credit Suisse. In this article, we interviewed Hither Mann, Founder of Fortune Academy, on what she could possibly teach a team about peak performance, and what we found blew us away. 

Diagnosing the Problem

When Hither arrived at Credit Suisse, the director gave her 12 individuals in her team to work with. She was then briefed on the situation, including the different egos amongst the group as well as why she was needed. According to the director, she needed Hither to take the team at Credit Suisse towards a more workable esque level through peak performance strategies. 

So when Hither got down to business, her first initiative was forcing the team past their ego barrier and unraveling the insecurities holding them back. Throughout the entire process, she recalls seeing so many of the team members go through self-discovery processes and come face to face with their subconscious programming. The same programming that had been sabotaging their performance at work and even trickling into their home life. The difference was very evident when she identified the biggest problem within that team’s company culture. The problem came from the hierarchical system within Credit Suisse, and to Hither’s surprise, the biggest problem happened to be the Director herself. So as any witty performance coach would do, she optimized the variables to find a successful formula that happened to be changing the entire approach. 

Hither’s Approach for Peak Performance

Hither first began with a simple exercise for each individual where they had to discuss three positive and three negative traits out of their personality, while not mentioning any work-related skills as part of their answer. What Hither quickly realized is that the team struggled to self evaluate most of their entire self-worth derived from some sort of attachment to their workplace. Hither immediately saw a potential red flag within the team members, as attaching their worth to a workplace can make it difficult to see positives in their life outside of work. 

So Hither introduced them to subconscious programming, taking them back to their childhood and learning about both the good and bad behavioral patterns that have taken them to where they are today. This approach led by Hither allowed them to reprogram the self-sabotaging patterns they had developed over the years. According to Hither, the team’s feedback was so positive, they felt their eyes had truly been opened. From feeling trapped under the boundaries created by their leader, to feeling like they could accomplish anything as a team and as an individual, supports just how powerful Hither’s approach was for the team at Credit Suisse. 

“Biggest Piece of Value She Shared with Credit Suisse” 

The biggest piece of value that HIther can confidently say contributed towards improving the performance of this team would be understanding the skill of self-awareness. The trait of having full self-awareness in an environment that requires a team to perform at a high standard which will then allow you to pivot from belief to actions, ultimately opening the doors to reprogramming your sabotaging habits altogether. 

Hither’s Takeaway from this Experience

Her experience opened her eyes to how much mental health is often overlooked within the banking world. Normally, the pressure and anxiety associated with a high-performance career lead to alcohol and drug abuse, even extramarital affairs, and other adrenaline-fuelled activities. The latter behavior explains why suicide rates are amongst the highest in the banking world and not enough mindset training is carried out by banks for their staff regularly. Overall, Hither loves coaching high paid individuals both from the banking world, such as the team at Credit Suisse, and other CEOs of successful companies to reach new levels of greatness in their financial and personal goals. As for the future, she will continue to expand in this avenue through her Millionaire Mindset Program and 1:1 Limitless coaching calls.

Carlton Washington and Deniz Duygulu founded the company 4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions, a medical spa and vitality center with locations in Aventura, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter, Plantation, and Weston, Florida with locations in Coral Gables & Wellington coming soon. 4Ever Young offers services ranging from aesthetic to internal wellness optimization, and is backed by top medical experts. Carlton and Deniz structured the practice in a way where their medical team performs an extensive blood panel and a physical exam to identify where the issues are stemming from, and then create a treatment plan to fix it. Over the years that they have been in business, their offices have been able to improve thousands of lives and create a happier and healthier version of the individuals that come through their doors. 

Every entrepreneur that sets out to start a business faces extremely difficult challenges before they become successful. Carlton and Deniz are no exception with the launch of 4Ever Young. The first challenge that they overcame was the fact that they were virtually broke when they started the business. Digging themselves out of the hole they dug when starting the business was extremely difficult, as both of them had families to feed and bills to pay. When doubt and slander came into play coming from outsiders, they knew that they had to focus on succeeding in the industry and not the negativity they were faced with. Undeniable mental strength and drive pushed Carlton and Deniz to proceed with their dreams and had great success from doing so. 

Another issue that Carlton and Deniz ran into was the fact that different parts of their business were dominated by other professionals in the industry. When you have people specializing in different treatments that they offer, it becomes difficult to mend them all together into one big pool of treatments which became 4Ever Young. Dealing with doubt from professionals in each individual industry was a true test of their determination, but they found a solution to it. Carlton and Deniz hired top medical experts for each sector of their business to help them gain a stronger reputation and ensure powerful results and procedures for their patients. 

It was the determination to succeed and the will to work tirelessly on their dreams that helped Carlton and Deniz become successful in launching 4Ever Young and continue growing the brand. Without a bulletproof mindset and the drive to succeed, none of their accomplishments or goals would have been met. Today, they have 4Ever Young locations with plans to expand nationwide in the upcoming months. Their end goal is to make 4Ever Young’s offices available to the whole world, which is something they work

towards doing every single day. To learn more about Carlton Washington, Deniz Duygulu, and 4Ever Young, click here.
