 Greetings!

Many of us want to be and to be seen as High Performers.  There are many rewards that come to those who are: promotions, choice opportunities, higher compensation, the best development opportunities, the strongest brands, powerful legacies.  
 
How can we make sure that we have what it takes? 
 
Answering the following five questions is a great place to start! 
Quantum High Performance!
 
What does it take to be a high performer? As yourself the following 5 questions.
 
Underneath all of the leadership and performance competencies and attributes, there are some core elements that are critical to your ability to be a high performer!  The following questions and your answers to them will give you a framework from which to build your best personal development focus to achieve the level high performance to which you aspire!  Mind, Body, Heart & Spirit
 
1) Mind:  Do you have the mindset and the psychology of a high performer?  
 
Clear about your values, your beliefs, who you are at your core, positive, glass half full, see the opportunities in challenges, see challenges and difficulties as occasions to rise to not run from, the self-confidence, self-knowing and humility to recognize what you should do yourself and what you should be leaving to others.
 
 
2) Body:  Do you have the wellness and the physiology of a high performer? 
 
The energy and vibrancy to sustain you throughout your day and the accomplishment of your tasks, the rest, exercise and sleep to 
recharge daily so that you can be at alert and at your best at all times, the "quiet" of mind to access your wisdom throughout your day, the ability to focus and be fully in all of the moments of opportunity.  
 
 
3) Heart:  Do you have the heart and the prowess of a high performer?
 
Capabilities, skills and knowledge along with the courage to use them in all situations, strength and fierce resolve, the passion for ever-learning and increasing your skills, the drive to keep going no matter how hard or how long, the bravery to take the critical stands and have the required crucial conversations.
 
 
4) Spirit:  Do you have the spirit and the presence of a high performer?
 
The presence to understand and authentically connect with others, the ability to inspire others to support and follow you, the ability to not make it about you, but about something much bigger than you, a lack of cynism and critic, a talent and energy "magnet" attracting the best people to work with and for you.  
 
5) And finally, and actually foremost, do you have clarity about your personal picture of success or purpose?
 
Clarity about the legacy that you want to create, the difference that you want to make and who and how you want to be while you make it, the target for the alignment of your mind, body, heart and spirit as you go about your moments and your milestones, how you want to be known and remembered.
 
 
In which of these areas would your performance and life most benefit from more conscious focus? 
 
Start there. 
Focus on these foundational elements will greatly benefit all aspects of your great life and career!  
 
 
Join us as explore this model and high performance more deeply in our Your Corporate Success TeleWorkshops as well as in the 
"Next Level" Leadership Development Series - SOAR to Success - launching in August.  
The Power of Purpose
 
Clarity about our purpose and how we want to be remembered is the foremost element in the High Performance Model, in creating our definition of success and in the building of our legacy.   I offer the following most recent lyrics by Craig Dion, my nephew still in the fight for his life against a very rare form of cancer, as an example of both the power and the very personal nature of purpose for each of us. 
 
Sunset by Craig Dion
 

Every second
things gunna pass

Things gunna change
Things just don't last


And the sun rose the day he was born
And the sun set then he was gone


Every minute

we bite our tongues
We choose our words

No revolution comes

 

He talked free as a bird Since the day he was born

He spoke truths till it hurt till the day he was gone
 

Every Hour

we work for cash
To buy us things that
End up as trash

 

He never worked too hard since the day he was born
Put a map in his backpack then he was gone
 
Every Day

we take our chances
To wash up like waves
Or to live out our passions
 
He was as wild as a river since the day he was born
Pointed to a mountain and then he was gone.
 
Every week we are lovers

Share arguments

Then touch each other

 
He never needed anyone since the day he was born

His guitar was his friend till the day was gone

 
Every Month
Things gunna Grow
These seasons shift
Life buried in the snow
 
flowers stayed in bloom since the day he was born
the leaves fell the ground and then he was gone
 

Every Year
We hold the past
Remember better days
Hold up our glass


I remember his smile on the day he was 
born

I remember he smiled and then he was gone
