Consistently Perform: Experiencing Intelligent Breakthroughs In Your Performance & Life
For those using my Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook, are you making sure you are rating your day (auspicious, robust, excellent, very good, good, not so good).
My buddy Jordan (2nd grader) I’m mentoring drew this drawing of me. It shows me wearing Jordans (shoes). As in the Nike Jordan brand.
This upgraded my day from “very good” to “robust” as my day rating
Mother’s Day in my workbook is rated “auspicious”.
I’ll check your workbook when I do our evaluation.

“The Zone” Effect
By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.
Here are three phrases I use to get into “the zone” experiencing “the zone” effect:

It was Saturday morning and I drove to attend a community breakfast at Nicholtown Missionary Baptist Church. It’s always nice and amazing meeting people and making friends in their place of worship. There was an unexpected success. The pastor wanted me to say the prayer before eating. My day became auspicious (type of day to write in my workbook). As I mentally prepared, I told myself “talk from the heart” . We prayed and it was the first time I’ve lead a prayer in public. I don’t have the words to describe the amazing feeling running through me. An amazing “the zone” experience I will recall often.Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect
Here’s an exercise for you? Describe what causes performance anxiety and stress. Then, change each factor so you experience “the zone” the next time you are scheduled to perform. Performance anxiety and stress are usually caused by a time crunch (doing too much in too little time), environmental, relationship issue, or over thinking.

I’ve seen several approaches for giving constructive feedback. Here’s mine after agreeing giving constructive feedback to build authentic honest dialogue trusting relationships would be better:
1. What can be better?
2. Listen
3. Talk w/ each other to equip (don’t say, “you are suppose to know that” or “you don’t know that”)
4. Reevaluate in the future
Using this framework allows for mental preparation and for mental performance to forward performance of each person involved.

Last week I attended an event where people spoke about their solution for a better living and better future. Afterwards, we took a break and as I networked with people I asked a few people what were the main points of a specific speaker. None of them could tell me. Therefore, it prompted me to write my post on why, how, and what to do when listening to a speaker.
Why?
When listening to a speaker, know why you are listening and discover why the speaker is saying what they say.
How?
Listen to how the speaker acknowledges, honors, what are the main points, examples, and stories.
What To Do?
What does the speaker do to connect with the audience. When a speaker connects that means the audience uses emotional intelligence to take this experiential learning and apply it to benefit their situation and benefit extension by telling someone about the speaker and event. Throughout your life you will be able to recall specifics about the speaker and message (it moved you, an example, phrases, sound bites, stories, or statistics) you’ll use at the right time (often and sometimes for decades) to help you succeed in what you are doing.
I recall speakers and their message, examples, phrases, sound bites, stories, or statistics throughout my life. It has a cumulative effect and I recall it when needed at the perfect time. The is the real value of listening to a speaker.
When you have this frame of mind each time you hear someone speak you receive an experiential learning credit.
If their is an internal or external conflict you are experiencing when listening to a speaker, here is my advanced performance and life conflict resolution and idea generation tool. Speaking is the highest form of experiential learning from a person.
I look forward to hearing about the greater value you are receiving from attending events with a speaker.
