Whilst we are all familiar with the importance of getting the right people in the right positions, styles of leadership, dynamics of teams and so on, there is a ‘magic ingredient’ persistently overlooked which can elevate people effortlessly to their absolute peak performance.

‘Flow state’ is a state of consciousness where a person is totally absorbed and immersed in a task or action, with such a heightened sense of energy, focus and enjoyment that they become almost oblivious to everything else.

Flow state is colloquially known as ‘being in the zone’ – it is a place where peak performance is achieved effortlessly.

It is the state athletes are in when they achieve their personal bests, where artists are when they produce masterpieces, where innovators are when they get a breakthrough – and where anyone can be with the right combination of elements.

Understanding exactly what flow state is and how to assist in inducing it in order to optimise both a person’s performance and their enjoyment of their work can make an exponential difference to a business.
