Course overview
Design your own flow playbook.
Are you leaving untapped potential on the table?
Join a cohort of high performers who are already avid self-developers – but need a robust framework, tailored protocol, and peer group accountability to make a meaningful shift.
Knowledge means nothing unless we can put what we know into practice consistently. This starts with identifying your weakest link in the sequence of habits that will help you access more clarity, direction and drive towards what you want out of work and life.
Instead of defaulting your energy to the inevitable peaks and valleys of early startup or new teams, develop a cadence with your habits that sustain your energy and amplify your efforts. Develop a sense of unwavering stability in uncertain times by having a bespoke playbook to rely on when you feel burnout or offtrack.
Use proven tools from creative problem solving and principles from flow science to design the consistent practice you feel is missing to keep you on track for 2024!
Who will love this experience:
01
Founders who are struggling with priorities, fall prone to burnout, and know that the "inner game" is just as important.
02
Leaders who want to get better at managing their energy levels and reactivity so that they can respond with skill and presence.
03
High Performers who are avid consumers of self-development content but want to bridge the gap from 'knowing' to 'being'.
What you’ll get out of this course
Reframe your Experience
Active learning sessions where you unlock insights into your self-limiting beliefs, self-sabotage and 'stuckness' to reframe your experience. Go beyond a cognitive understanding of them and embody dormant qualities already in your system.
Sharpen Your Direction
Gain razor-sharp clarity on your resources, strengths, and unique talents to articulate an inspiring vision fueled by intrinsic motivation.
Create Frictionless Routines
Automate routines in your environment, schedule and relationships so you can reduce decision fatigue and cognitive load. Make space for necessary 'open time' where insight, intuition, creativity and strategy emerge.
Identify Your Single Metric
Grock a neuroscience-baced process to access more flow states to reveal your weakest link in the chain from which to build keystone habits. Build a minimum viable energy management routine to ensure you're fueling your engine and not draining it.
Amplify Your Accountability
Sprint alongside a new network of switched-on peers and like-minded enthusiasts who all want to turn up the heat on doing things differently.
Design Your Own Playbook
Create a personalized roadmap that is both familiar and challenging. Underpinned by a universal evidence-based protocol, you will identify what to adapt to your individual circumstances so the starting point is crystal clear and easy-to-implement.
