Shifting to a Sustainable Performance Strategy
SUMMARY
Do you find yourself exhausted all the time? As much as you try, even if you get great sleep overnight, you wake up and you just do not have the energy that will sustain you for the day.
I want to start by talking about the first shift: your performance. This is a shift from high performance alone to a more sustainable model of performance.
In this shift, there are three key areas to explore:
First, your clarity — having a clear understanding of who you are, what you stand for, and what is important to you.
Second, your capacity — which is not endless. Just like your phone runs out of charge if it is not plugged in, so do you.
And third, your agility — the ability to shift and adapt in a fast-paced world.
Come with me on the journey. I look forward to being a part of this with you.
TRANSCRIPT
Do you find yourself exhausted all the time? I completely understand that, because it is an experience that I have been through many times.
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, and I want to start by talking about the first shift — your performance. This is a shift from high performance alone to a more sustainable model of performance, where you are not only able to get things done, but you are also able to keep doing them over the long haul.
The first thing you need to do is shift your mindset. Move away from thinking that high performers are the ones who always succeed.
You also need to understand that working in an unsustainable manner will not get you the results you want. I know this firsthand. I have had four physical and two mental breakdowns in my forty-odd-year career.
In this shift, there are three key areas to explore:
First, your clarity — having a clear understanding of who you are, what you stand for, and what is important to you.
Second, your capacity — which is not endless. Just like your phone runs out of charge if it is not plugged in, so do you.
And third, your agility — the ability to shift and adapt in a fast-paced world, to stop and rest, and then move again without everything falling apart.
These three areas helped me shift my performance into a place that is far more sustainable, so I could do this for the long term.
Come with me on the journey. I look forward to being a part of this with you. I will see you in our first of three videos later in the week.
