Look ‘inside’ for performance acceleration
If you want to succeed in your career, or you’re a manager who wants to get the best out of your people, the first place to look is inside.
What does this mean? Well, some people such as myself, James IrvineĀ and my partner Trip Allen at http://thethinkingcircle.com believe that it doesn’t matter how many communication or leadership skills you learn – if your beliefs or ability to put yourself in the right frame of mind are working against you, no amount of technique or skills asquisition will work.
If you are really interested in personal development and performance acceleration, start with your private voice i.e. the things you say to yourself all day long. Pay attention to the kinds of messages you are giving yourself, because these messages will directly affect your state (i.e. your mood and thoughts) and therefore your behaviour. In fact NLP teaches us that our internal communication does more for our performance than our external communication, our public voice.
Egyii’s founders know this, because Trip Allen and James Irvine have experienced the powerful impact on their results of even small changes in their beliefs and thoughts. So if you really want that performance acceleration, or you want to differentiate your company through your people’s flexibility, resilience and resourcefulness, then look inside first. You will be amazed at the difference to your leadership capabilities, relational skills and personal results even a small personal change can make.
