💡 When You're Off Your Game but Don’t Know Why: Understanding Performance Influencers

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

What truly separates high performers from everyone else? Contrary to popular belief, it's not just raw talent or relentless positivity—it's their ability to identify and manage the specific influencers that affect their performance.

During our enlightening conversation, we dive deep into the six critical influencers that shape our ability to perform consistently at high levels: spiritual, mental, environmental, emotional, physical, and social. These factors create a complex web that either supports or undermines our performance capabilities. The fascinating revelation is that for most high performers, it's not their mindset itself that threatens their success, but rather the various elements that knock them out of alignment.

We explore how creating your personalized "success formula" works as a practical tool—almost like having your own technical rider that travels with you through challenges. This formula helps you anticipate potential disruptions to your rhythm and make accommodations before they derail you. Instead of maintaining a restrictive tunnel vision of forced positivity, this approach encourages you to stay open while developing familiarity with your specific detractors.

The most powerful moment comes when we discuss how recognizing these patterns transforms your relationship with obstacles. When challenges arise, you can meet them with calm recognition: "I've felt this before. I've seen this before. It's not going to kill me." This perspective shift turns potential threats into opportunities for growth and learning, maintaining your consistency even when outside stressors threaten to shake your foundation.

Ready to discover your own performance influencers and create a success formula tailored specifically to you? Listen now and learn how to stay in your power, even when circumstances try to take you offline.

Episode Transcript

Lisa (00:00):
It makes absolute, perfect sense and that's exactly the
work I do.
So you are describing theinfluencers of a high performer.
High performers are people thatcan consistently do things
really well, like athletes,dancers, performers doesn't even
have to be in those areas, butin your case, you know what you
do, so you're cognizant that youcan do it well.

(00:22):
You've done the work, you'vedone that and all of that, and
you have proof that you havedone it well.
But what you're saying is thereare sometimes things that
affect your mindset, that takeyou out of balance, take you
offline and threaten to affectyour performance.
And the influencers literallyI'll just share them with you

(00:53):
and the influencers literally,I'll just share them with you
are spiritual, mental,environmental, emotional,
physical and social.
And once we draw awarenessaround these and how they help
or hinder our performance, thenwe can intentionally set
ourselves up for successconsistently.
So it's not that right.
Does that make sense to you?

Client (01:11):
I feel it was interesting that the influencers
were like categorized, becauseI've never like thought about it
like that.

Lisa (01:19):
It is, and literally you know high performers, which is
who I work with.
They can create their ownsuccess formula, because there
are things that threaten to getin the way that affect your
mindset.
So it's not so much for highperformers their mindset that is
threatening them.
It's things that are not inalignment that then kick them

(01:40):
off, right Does that make sense.

Client (01:42):
Yes, that's exactly, I think.
Think what I was trying to sayFeel that if I yeah, allow those
outside stressors to shake me.
Yep, I like that you said likeconsistently do good work,
because I feel like consistencyis really difficult.

Lisa (01:59):
The success formula that you create through these,
through understanding yourinfluencers, can help you.
You can look at your rhythm andbecome aware of how you're
affected, how things wane, andthen you can make accommodations
for yourself.
I mean, it's like having a techwriter for yourself.
When you go on the road, thingswill affect you, but you can be

(02:22):
in your power about how andwhat you can do about it, rather
than going like this andcreating, you know, barriers and
saying, no, I'm just going toonly have a tunnel mindset.
With my positivity, it'sstaying open and then
understanding what the what thedetractors might be, and then

(02:44):
you know, disempowering themhonestly by becoming more
familiar with them, so when theyarrive, they don't take you out
.

Client (02:52):
Yeah as like yeah, it's not.
You're like oh, I've felt thisbefore, I've seen this before.

Lisa (02:57):
Yeah, it's not going to kill me.

Client (02:59):
No.

Lisa (03:00):
You know, here it is, and what can I learn from this?
