Perform (Peak Performance) - Get Out of Your Own Way and Start Crushing IT!

April 05, 2022 • Messier Larocque Performance Group • Season 1 • Episode 14

This week we discuss our second of three "Ps" of our Nine Elements of Successful Leadership. PERFORM! This is where the rubber meets the road. So many crucial things add up to this moment, the big meeting, the big game, the big performance, or simply just being your best in everyday life. Don't let a lack of mental preparation and confidence affect physical performance! Get out of your own way and just start CRUSHING IT!

What we discuss:

Do your job
Complete tasks with effectiveness and competence
Compete at your best and in service of others around you.
Review past performances for future improvements
Attention to each tiny detail is a must to ensure consistent performance at a high level
Service or Status - Status drives failure. When you play to serve others you build trust and love and success will follow.
As a leader you don’t need to be the best at everything, but you must be able to find people who have the skills you might be missing and put them in positions to be successful for your organization/team.
Meditation and breathing as a tool for performance
Being a leader is about having all pieces pointed in the right direction will allow the best group performance.
Stay in the moment, have confidence that all preparation and other elements mined and refined will support your performance
It’s okay to make mistakes. Fail forwards and have short term memory. The only important play is the next one.
Signal light awareness will play a big role in maintaining peak performance state.
Find gratitude in the ability to compete and share your talents and
Define what your Perform benchmark is. Establish a person, event, situation, highlight the effort that you want to replicate and set it as a reminder.
This could take the form of real time feedback on data…ie. HR, times, lifts, pitch count, shot attempts, goals against…what determines a good performance in real time. It’s too late once the game is done.
Crush it!

Call to Action:
Your task for this week is to reflect on your best performance ever and your worst performance ever and write down what you believe led to those performances. What were the differences in how prepared your were vs things within your control you lost control of?
