Course description

At work, we are under pressure, always-on, information overloaded and dealing with competing distractions. In short, our attention is under siege. As a result, research shows we are distracted 47% of the time. This negatively impacts our ability to perform. The Performance Mindset program delivers science-based mind training practices and work habits that cultivate calm, clear, and focused minds resulting in greater performance of people, teams, and organizations. We strongly recommend that participants download the Potential Project mobile app, available both on iOS and Android, to start to train your mind using guided instructions for 10 mins daily. This will serve as a good companion on your learning journey. The app is downloadable here: https://www.potentialproject.com/apps/potential-project/ Key takeaways ============= In addition to the science-backed mind training, you will also learn many practical work techniques, such as how to effectively prioritize, take control of digital distractions, manage email communications, and host and participate in purposeful meetings. Given that multiple employees would be undertaking this program as a cohort, cultivating a strong foundation of focus and self-awareness at an individual level can result in creating effective work rituals for teams and the company as a whole, resulting in more productivity, clarity and performance. The Performance Mindset program is underpinned by neuroscience and includes mind training tools and techniques directly applicable to core workplace activities and demands, for immediate beneficial outcomes. Who should subscribe? =================== Any organization who would like to bring mental effectiveness programs to help its employees and leaders manage their work-life with more focus, clarity, and self-awareness, can sign up for this program. This program is applicable for all industry sectors and is especially relevant if your employees and leaders face high complexity, increased pressure, information overload and competing priorities, resulting in a feeling of being rushed, under-productive and distracted most of the time.
