A PERFORMANT

STATE OF MINDThe 9 crucial domains of a high-performing state of mind.And the simple self-coaching questions to cultivate each.

1

AWARENESSWe can only control that of which we are aware. High performers are empowered by enhanced

awareness.

Q. What is happening around me right now?Q. What precisely am I experiencing right now?

2

RESPONSIBILITY

We can only perform at the highest level when we

accept full responsibility for the results we create.

Q. how did I create this?Q. What new options am I noticing?

Q. What choice am I now going to make?

3

THINKINGThe root of all performance is thinking: driving

the behaviours that ultimately achieve our results.

Q. What results am I looking to achieve?Q. What behaviours will lead to those results?

Q. What thinking will support those behaviours?

4

LEARNINGPerformance is fuelled by learning. Performance

cannot be sustained where there is no learning.

Q. what did I learn from this? Q. Where else does this learning have

application?

5

ENJOYMENTPerformance is amplified when we find the

enjoyment in a task and experience that enjoyment in the

present.

Q. What enjoyment can I find in this?

6

CHALLENGEPeak performance happens when we are at, and

slightly beyond, our limit. Seek-out the challenge.

Q. How much more challenge and stretch can I add?

7

FEEDBACKAll high-performers view feedback as

information to refine and hone performance.

Q. What data am I getting back?Q. What is it telling me about my performance?

8

AGILITYPerformance requires the ability to be flexible,

to change, to innovate and to abandon unserving patterns of thinking.

Q. How can I do this differently? Q. What will I do to change-up my approach?

9

ACTIONHigh performers prioritise action. Inaction

never contributes to performance. It's action that produces

results.

Q. What am I putting off?Q. What can I do right now to move me

forward?
