FACT: We reward the individual.


that’s good because… Accountability + Ownership = Results


Oh and one more… self-responsibility


You have control on your inner choices.


And when you don’t have control – speak up! (and stop blaming Management/others)


Choose the seeds you plant


Like it or not… you make a ripple.

You

Team

Organization

World


Do your efforts create a storm?

or…


Are you creating an INTENTIONAL ripple?

““The perfect search engine,” says co–founder Larry Page


To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Peak Event


1. To begin, you felt it was IMPOSSIBLE or you doubted you could achieve it.

What’s a Peak Event?

2. You had an INTENSE DESIRE and choice to accomplish the desired outcome.

3. Now when you look back, that event is a REMINDER of what you accomplished.


Peak events can be… Athletic

Academic or

Artistic


My Peak Event

Context I was at a week long leadership training. On day 4 we had four

equally challenging ropes course exercises to participate in—

if we choose to.


Step 1: Intention: I really wanted to get 100% of

climbing a 50’ foot pole and grab the trapeze bar.

Step 2: Choice: It was my choice. No one was

“making” me do it.”

Step 3: Commitment: I spoke my intention

to the leader who supported me in accountability.


Step 4: Work: I had to climb the pole and not fall.

I had to step into action.


Step 5:

Power: It took a primal part of me to get my body on top of

the pole.


Step 6:

Integration: One breath, and the

pole stopped shaking.

Step 7:

Gift: Took my time to kinesthetically remember the

moment.

Leverage Peak Events


To evoke Purpose, Passion & Excellence

ONE individual contributor at a time.

Flow in Action

1 + 1 + 1 … = Integrated Team
