Episode 3 - Wellness for Optimal Performance

If there is one quality that most individuals seek for themselves and their employees, it is sustained high performance in the face of ever-increasing pressure and rapid change. But the source of such performance is as elusive as ever. Management theorists have long sought to identify precisely what makes some people flourish under pressure and others fold.  We look at some practical tools and daily habits that can be applied to support your optimal performance state. We look at some of the key plates of the “Healthy Mind Platter”, published by the NeuroLeadership Institute’s CEO, Dr David Rock and Daniel Siegal, as simple ways to unlock optimal brain performance during times of change and disruption.Follow The Learning Zone online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_learning_zone_podcast/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-learning-zone-podcast/

Episode 2 - Future Proof Mindset

Your mindset, in large part, is determined by the answer to a single question: Do you believe that your most important attributes – your intelligence, talent, creativity, leadership ability – are fixed traits that can’t be changed (fixed mindset), or malleable qualities that can be grown (growth mindset)? A growth mindset is your superpower to learning, growing and improving at the pace of change. It impacts your beliefs, and the lens with which you view the world, and enables or inhibits the behaviours you display and actions you take.Follow The Learning Zone online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_learning_zone_podcast/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-learning-zone-podcast/
