As a fanatic "multitasker", this is by far the most difficult thing to master - to do nothing. I usually fill in waiting times with reading a book or answering emails; baby asleep - time to finish the hundreds things on the waiting list... When I saw this billboard at the baggage belts at the airport, it made me smile - because sometimes the most you can do with the wait, is to enjoy it. A moments of "doing nothing" and "exaggerated slowness" can also be #highperformance enablers when used right. Have you had a moment today of simply #doingnothing? So true here in the #netherlands! :)☀️Indeed the right mental state is essential to #excellence and high-performance. To put your mind in the right state, you can practice relaxed concentration - quiet your #mind, notice your #thoughts, remove #interference (fears, doubts, hopes, certainties) and simply focus on this particular moment. Sounds easier than it is:) try it! #amsterdam Would you say that what you do reflects who you are? Is your #business having the impact you desire? Do you feel you are using your full potential today and in general? What can you do differently? What would be one new thing to do today that is not typical for you, but would help you be #happier and more #productive? #graspcourage #Working today from a lovely place, Charley's. Looks like a cozy living room, doesn't it? Where are you working from today? Post a #photo in the comments On my #bike to #work, this beauty never ceases to warm my heart #simplepleasures Good morning with an interesting book and a cup of coffee! Enabling Genius- a mindset for success in the 21st century. In the "story of genius" there are at least three key variables; our genetic inheritance, the environment that surrounds us, and our mental state. Two of these we can influence directly. The idea that "I am what I am" is simply without substance👍Go and enable your genius!😊#graspcourage #success #highperformance #currentlyreading *Our #brain often makes de­ci­sions be­fore we get a chance to con­sciously de­cide any­thing for our­selves.* Today I am dedicating some time to go through my notes and the handouts from a great ELP leadership dialogue (https://www.europeanleadershipplatform.com) I attended on Monday. The topic was the Applied Neuroscience of Collaboration. The speaker, Ali Tisdall, is the Co-Founder of Mind3, a leadership development boutique that inspires executives to excel. After an impressive career as the Vice-President of Global Client Strategy at Korn/Ferry International, Ali begins a neuroscience study at Harvard and starts a company where she brings together the best ideas from neuroscience and business research to help executives become the best version of themselves. This was an impressive presentation about both the power and limitations of the brain. After learning something new, I always ask myself - how can this new knowledge help my clients achieve their goals and dreams? The biggest take way from the evening that I will bring to my performance consultancy (www.genevva.com) is that the brain "believes" your thoughts and is an ever changing organ thanks to #learning - Practice positive, future-oriented thoughts until they become your default mindset. You have the power to rewire your brain (physically!). #Insights can happen when we are not in problem-solving mode. * Brain rewards clarity (minimize unimportant decision making that exhausts your resources, create brain friendly goals) * the brain is a meaning-making machine ( The question to ask is “is the association we have with a memory or experience empowering us or disempowering us?” * The brain does not differentiate between a thought and an action, meaning what we think, our brain recognizes as the truth. * The brain is not a static organ, it keeps learning and changing regardless of age (check Hebbian theory, brain plasticity- learning changes your brain physiology). Simple pleasures - in my pajamas with a cup of aromatic tea devouring a book I ordered as a present for myself. It is truly inspiring to read about successful women entrepreneurs sharing their advice and lessons learned. @womenentrepreneurclub Marja, you would love this book 👍 #currentlyreading @designsponge Love the book - it is beautiful and full of inspiration! #Amsterdam taught me a great lesson that applies to many aspects of #life: "the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain."
