Using the Science of Flow to Achieve Peak Performance with Steven Kotler - September 2023 Edition

During a Mastermind event in 2022, we had the pleasure of hearing an outstanding Keynote from Peak Performance Guru, Steven Kotler.

Steven is a renowned expert on human performance, author of many New York Times bestsellers, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of Flow research collective. His work has been nominated for 2 Pulitzer Prizes and translated into more than 50 languages around the world.?

Here are some takeaways from his keynote:?

• ?Flow is also known as “being in the zone”, which means when you feel comfortable with your skills and use them to the highest level.?
• The characteristics of flow are complete concentration, the merge of action and awareness, the diminishment of self, time distortion, a sense of control, and a euphoric experience.?
• According to happiness researcher Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, flow can be felt by all mammals and is definable, measurable and universal spectrum that is fundamental.?
• There is a high-performance triangle that consists of Motivation,? Learning and Creativity.?
• The Individual flow triggers for high performance can be Curiosity, Complete Concentration, Autonomy, Risk, Complexity, Clear Goals, Challenge, Creativity, Novelty, Unpredictability, Deep Embodiment, and Immediate Feedback.?
• The group flow triggers for high performance are Shared Goals, Shared Risks, Close Listening, Blending Egos, Familiarity, Equal Participation, and Open Communication.?
• To achieve the peak performance, first you need to meet the basics. The physical ones are good hydration/nutrition, 7-8 hours of sleep, and robust social support.?
• The mental basics are to practice gratitude (5 min), meditation (11 min), and exercise practice (20-40 min).?
• The best place to start is by having clear goals. To achieve this you need to focus on the clear, work on the processes and not the outcome, determine your number for excellence, and start with the most critical task.?
• Nowadays we can find triggers everywhere since we live in a culture of innovation.?
