MY STORY

“”Sir Richard Branson

In two hours [in flow], I can accomplish tremendous things. It’s like there’s no challenge I can’t meet.

Silicon Valley VC James Slavet calls “flow state percentage” — the amount of time employees spend in flow— the most important management metric for building great innovation teams.

Our evolutionary ancestors relied on the “fight or

flight” response for survival.

Don’t think, react!

With evolved brains, we can override

the “fight or flight” response.

Is my life ACTUALLY in

danger?

We live in a volatile, uncertain world (and we’re constantly reminded of it)1

Perceived “social threats”* trigger fight-or-flight reactions the same way physical threats do.2 *DAVID ROCK, NEUROLEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

We’re ruled by distraction and scarcity of time.3

And we’re on autopilot, programmed by our habits to make the same choices

Every time you make the hard, correct decision you become a bit more courageous, and every time you make the easy, wrong decision you become a bit more cowardly. If you are CEO, these choices will lead to a courageous or cowardly company. ”
