This document discusses the concept of "flow state", which is a state of complete focus and immersion in an activity where time seems to slip away. It provides examples of people experiencing flow state in various activities like surfing, skiing, solving a math problem, and musical performance. It explains that flow state is linked to peak performance and happiness. Certain conditions need to be present to experience flow, such as clear goals, immediate feedback, and a balance between challenge and skills. The document also outlines the neurological and chemical changes associated with flow state and provides exercises people can do to increase their chances of experiencing it.
Discovering the Flow State for Enhanced Life & LeadershipPad ~ Success Coach
Everyone has been there. Cricketers and basketball players call it ‘The Zone’, musicians call it ‘being in the Groove’, soldiers have called it ‘Battle Calm’ and marathoners call it the ‘Runner’s High’.
Long distance drivers know it well, computer programmers go there often; book readers, gamers and singers get so absorbed in it that they feel like they’re on another planet.
“The Flow State is what takes life to the next level, for enjoyment and performance. It has been critical to reaching a string of excellent performances.”
Rebecca Soni – Winner of 8 Olympic Medals
FLOW is a period of intense focus when you find yourself completely absorbed in what you’re doing and, when you need to deliver the goods, you’re also performing at the very edge of your capabilities.
As a leader it is vital that you understand how to get the best out of yourself and of your team. This can only really be achieved through an understanding of the factors that enable each one to get into their personal state of FLOW.
This is the first session in a 3 Part Series on Flow States, we’ll be going deep into the most recent research and discovering that what appears like pure magic can be understood in a scientific way.
With this understanding, you’ll learn what you can do to set yourself up to spend your hours in your own flow state and get much more achieved – whilst enjoying what you do a whole lot more.
What you learn in these sessions will forever change the way you approach life.
In flow, you are in an extraordinary state of being where you are able to process information extremely fast and act without conscious thought. Intuition takes the lead and the act of learning is more like an act of ‘absorption’ as critical thinking is superseded by the ability to automatically adjust to what is important.
Time seems to vanish. The moment seems extraordinarily rich and rewarding. Your sense of self seems to merge with the experience as thoughts and actions are inseparably joined.
Effective professionals of every kind have learned to live and lead in Flow.
Now it’s your turn.
“The number one management metric you need to know? Flow State Percentage. Interruptions that move us out of Flow State increase R&D cycle times and costs dramatically.”

Homework Post 9: Managing Negative Emotions
Skill Practice Reflection: Reflect on a time this past week where you used one of the emotion regulation skills (check the facts, opposite action, problem solving, riding the wave) when you were experiencing a negative emotion. Include a response to the following prompts for a total of about 1 page double spaced (1/2 page for skills practice and 1/2 page for WOOP).
· Emotional Regulation Skills: Describe a time in the past week when you were experiencing negative emotions and used one of the emotion regulation skills. Which skills did you use? Are those different than what you think you should have used? How did it turn out? What success and challenges did you face when using these skills?
· Complete a WOOP for a goal you have based on the following four prompts. Remember to include all four parts of the WOOP, putting particular focus on naming an internal obstacle and an if/then statement for your plan.
· WISH: What is something you wish to change in your future in terms of your ability to manage negative emotions? This change can be longer term, but make sure to then also identify something for within the next 4 weeks.
· OUTCOME: What would a specific outcome be if you were to live out the above wish?
· OBSTACLE: What is an obstacle that will keep you from using the skills to manage negative emotion? Name at least one internal barrier and one external barrier.
· PLAN: What are your plans for overcoming these obstacles and barriers to using these skills? Make sure to include an if/then statement (i.e. If you face "obstacle x", then you will do ...) and then expand on how you will ensure you stick with that plan. Include specific steps!
Gratitude Practice: Write a half a page about something that happened or something you accomplished this week that you are grateful for.
Lecture + Reading Reflection: Reflect on the previous lecture and the assigned readings for next week and the associated videos. Respond to the following prompts in a half page.

GRADING STANDARDS
Your post is worth a possible 10 points. To receive the full 10 points for this post, you must respond to all four sections of reflection and address all prompts fully, totaling around 3 double-spaced pages. Be honest; part of the goal of these posts is to have an opportunity to receive feedback and support from the TAs, who have experience with using these skills and coaching on the use of them. Your grade is NOT based on how “well” you used the skills, but rather on how much we can see you reflected on the skills/content and have thought about how it applies to your life. Incomplete or late responses will be docked points.

Coaching in times of war and crisis - Jean-Francois Cousin for Coaching Up Un...Greatness Coaching
1. Ground an center an overwhelmed client at the start of a session
2. Attend to clients' needs, fears, emotions and energy to restore their sanity
3. Identify and resolve what will most help the client to steer away from 'overwhelmed-in-crisis' and then create enduring value for them
What stops you from going after what you want?
When a project or activity is going to be difficult (or maybe even a little scary) many of us will opt to avoid the challenge and choose instead to remain inside our comfort zones. In fact, our comfort zone gets straight to work rationalizing our decision to delay, avoid or stall. This really requires no effort at all, especially if we believe we may not succeed at the specific activity. But when did we start avoiding potential success like that? When did we start subscribing to doubt? As young children, if we gave up so easily we would never have learned to walk or talk; ride a bike or learn to read, heck even learn to use the potty. So obviously this pattern of hesitancy and doubt is an acquired skill. One that can be altered with a little decisive action.
Who's in charge this week, you or your comfort zone?
Under mentioned five simple exercises can help you recognize, and start to shift, the mind-sets that limit your potential as a leader.
1. Find your strengths
2. Practice the pause
3. Forge trust
4. Choose your questions wisely
5. Make time to recover

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

3. 1. What is the Flow State?
2. Why does it matter?
3. How do we get there?
4. Countless issues
arise in the
classroom and
corporate world
due to a lack of
meaningful
engagement with
the tasks at hand.
Unhappy people
Disruptive behaviour
High staff turnover
Lack of focus
Low performance levels
Unfulfilled potential
Slowness to learn

Lack of motivation
6. 1. Suits up, waxes up
2. Assesses the scene + plans
route
3. Paddles out, reassesses
4. Positions in the oncoming wave
5. Paddles hard + leaps onto board
6. Wham! He rides the wave –
continually adjusting to
maximise each moment, to
risk, to push the limits – the
skill, the pain the thrill…
7. 1. Checks weather
2. Suits up and checks gear
3. Gets into position + pushes off
4. Goes with it – continually
adjusting to maximise each
moment, to risk, to push the
limits – the skill, the thrill…
5. Shouts, yahoos
6. Aches, collapses
7. Drinks gluhwein and tells tall
stories
8. 1. Has a maths problem in her head
2. Clears her desk, grabs a big pad/pen
3. Starts scribbling equations
4. Wrestles with the numbers
5. Hits a wall and growls
6. Goes back to basics. Another angle…
7. YES! Something clicks – adds a
factor, new scribbles, new
equations – another unique angle
simplifies it all. SOLVES IT !
8. Smiles/screams/feels amazing
9. 1. A concert is scheduled
2. Preparation (months, weeks, days,
minutes before) mentally, instrumentally
and physically
3. Sound and stage set up
4. Curtain up
5. Lost in a dazzling performance that
encompasses instrument and
instrumentalist; orchestra and audience,
sounds, lights and environment
6. Falls back to earth and wrestles with
reality …until the next concert
10. Why do you do it?
“To those that jump, no
explanation is necessary.
To those that don't jump,
no explanation is possible.”
11. "Flow provides a sense of discovery, a
creative feeling of transporting a
person into a new reality.
It pushes a person to higher levels of
performance, and leads to previously
undreamed of states of consciousness.
In this growth of self lies the key to
flow activities."
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Csikszentmihalyi's flow model
12. Flow comes from autotelic
activities
‘an end in itself’
The reward is the activity
Thrilling and energising
Empowering and enriching
Revitalising - makes you feel alive
Elevating - sense of achievement
Liberating - sense of freedom
Fun …even addictive
13. You cannot force flow but you can make it much
more likely by ensuring these ingredients are
present:
1. Define a clear and compelling goal
2. Concentrate fully on the task at hand –
removing all potential distractions
3. Ensure your level of skill matches the
challenge
4. Ensure you have an immediate feedback
mechanism
5. Courageously step out (take the risk)
18. Shoot the can From
Casual awareness
To
Focused attention
To
Specific intention
19. For Lucy Hare, flow is the
“fantastic point of being
completely with the
orchestra, with the other
people, but also completely
one with my instrument and
my technique and the room.”
Double bass player, BBC Symphony Orchestra,
London Philharmonic Orchestra, now a coach.
20.
21. High achievers
describe four specific
qualities as being
present when
performing at their
very best, that is,
in Flow State
22. The boundary between the
individual performer and the
performance; the entity and
the environment becomes
significantly blurred
Sense of individuality vanishes
Awareness of the whole
dominates
This is not altruism as such – there is
no necessary sense of ‘service’
involved
ElementsofFlow
23. Time is measured by change.
So, when
NOTHING CHANGES
or
change comes
IMMEASURABLY FAST
that our concept of time
distorts – even vanishes.
ElementsofFlow
24. Danger distorts our sense of time
The proximity of danger narrows our
focus to a single point
Time = Distance / Speed
Play with this…
Put a scorpion into your hand or a red
hot wire close to your face
Contemplate the span of a galaxy or any
astronomical elements (Eta Carinae)
ElementsofFlow
25. After striking the perfect balance
between challenge and capability
something powerful kicks-in
Performers experience an unusual
and unexpected ‘hyper-drive’
They’re actually tapping into
unconscious response mechanisms
Sense that anything is possible
ElementsofFlow
26. In flow the performer encounters a
deluge of ‘data’ – overwhelming the
senses
Unconscious processing has to take
over to receive, filter and sort this
waterfall of information
And automatically make decisions
rapidly enough (to stay alive)
Feeling of total abundance - no
awareness of lack
ElementsofFlow

It’s inseparable from your Character

32. An individual’s level of performance,
learning ability and their generally level
of happiness are all enormously
enhanced when they achieve what is

they were at their peak performance [flow state]
than they were on average… the most common at
