Brain awareness and mind management are the key

We all... Do our best. We do what makes sense to us - given how we see the situation. However, our perception (our reality) is 'created' by what we focus on and the stories that are triggered. For a more detailed version of the picture, click here. 

​

The best performers...  Manage their perception. They intentionally choose their focus and/or their 'story' to improve performance in a particular situation. You need to practice this same meta skill, especially when you face new, or challenging and uncomfortable contexts. This is when working on this skill with a coach can be most helpful. 

​

The best leaders... Intentionally create system conditions to enable themselves, and those around them, to keep this learning (growth) mindset 'alive at work' (the title of a great book by Dan Cable). They keep emotions positive and bring their authentic 'best self' to work, because improving their personal presence improves their impact and influence. 

​​

The best coaches... Are like leaders. They bring positive energy and their 'best self' (ie their experience in business, their psychological self-learning, and their full personal presence) to make it safe for others to learn and change ('grow'). They create change from the inside out.
