The Other Side of High Performance

Extremely and ever-continuing, ever-demanding tight schedules, unexpected challenging situations to take care of, back-to-back meetings, conversations, often tough conversations, always thinking about the next steps and how these meetings, conversations, and challenges impact the bottom line, devoting time to family and loved ones, and squeezing in workouts.

While it may seem like great handling of this very demanding schedule and something to be proud of, the “always-go-go-go" state of mind and being puts the body into the “high-performance” energy.

And that works. Until it begins to compromise and shut down inner parts that got triggered by an unexpected challenge, by a tough conversation, by a delay in a team’s deliverable, by not getting enough sleep, by continuing to go-go-go when the body says “stop.”

Inner parts, thoughts and feelings, that needed attention when they got activated by something that happened, observed, said or done.

The list of responsibilities always takes over and these inner parts remain unattended. The inner disbalance begins to grow.

When it accumulates, the system goes into a compromised state of chronic inner stress.

If not addressed, irritability, impatience, anxiety, withdrawal, increased control of others,  disconnect from the team have the perfect soil to sprout and grow very fast into burnout, depletion, and even physical illnesses.
The healing is possible, it begins on the inside.

Authentic, charismatic, inspiring leadership is possible. It begins on the inside. By restoring your happy and joyous self.

…just really want to say thank you for today! It really was great! Really appreciate your calming demeanor and I think everyone responded well and I loved the participation!  27 people in this meeting, but the reach will be felt much further than the group today!  Thank you again!

"Everyone loved it."

Lisa Jacobi, Chief of HR at COCC

We had the opportunity for Anna to come out for a few team sessions at COCC. Most recently, she ran a mindfulness session for our entire HR team. It was a fantastic exercise for the team to break away from the day-to-day and go through a session together. Personally, I think it was great that we did it on a Friday afternoon together to start the weekend with a clear mind! The small group breakout sessions were great too. Definitely a different approach to mindfulness with plants!

The best training I've ever taken.

Empowering ourselves to grow with "self-coaching" techniques in today's climate of multiple changes is one description of Anna's 5-step "The Flow To Transformation" system. I have participated in her class in different settings and always walked away stronger in my ability to tap into my inner power and to make better decisions from a place of calm and inspiration. Anna's background in psychology and business finance helped develop this approach that's been used for years with both individuals and organizational teams.

" For years, I have had others tell me, “what you focus on is delivered.” I believed them, just not wholeheartedly, until I met Anna. Since I started working Anna, I have never felt better.

The incredible transformation of feeling into pain, and coming out of it with clarity, has been life changing for me. She gives you tools and guidance to help strengthen your core, and resolve your inner turmoil; which, in turn, helps you navigate your life in a more peaceful, harmonious way; while achieving results you never thought possible.

I can’t recommend Anna’s work highly enough, she is truly a gift.“

Debbie Perillo, HR Leader

*****

Anna gets to the heart of the matter in every issue she addresses. I am continually blown away by what can get dealt with using an activation. After an activation I feel calm, grounded and confident. They really help strengthen my connection to self, and realign with my natural state. Anna is so respectful of everyone's journey. I admire her expertise, commitment, and passion. I highly recommend her.
