cultivated to achieve full rock star potential.

In this presentation, you will learn:
Focus
Learning
Personal
Social
The four key traits that predict rock star performers*...
*According to Kevin Ochsner, a neuroscientist at Columbia University
Focus has two parts
Selective attention: what we choose to pay
attention to and zoom
in on, whether it's
broad & general or
narrow & specific.
Ability to zoom out: to
see relationships &
context between
things. To manage the
signal-to-noise ratio
inside one’s brain and
manage internal noise
(thoughts).
Learning
swiftly and
retaining
learning
requires
these four
things.
Learning is key Attention (there it is again!): Be present andstay focused.
Generation: When learning enables us to make connections/associations and effectively contextualize.
Emotion: Emotion helps us retain what was learned.
Spacing: Making space around learning is key too—we need time to digest and process what was learned.
The individual demonstrates knowing
themselves, being clear on their motives, their
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.
Personal ability is two-fold
The individual demonstrates self-
regulation: the ability to control responses
and assess themselves, others, status of a
project or deliverable. It helps them determine
what to do next, whether a goal was attained.
Social skills enable one to both read people
accurately and influence them.
They are able to tune in by watching the other
person’s body language, breathing, facial
expressions and listening to their speech
patterns to discern what they might be
feeling.
Social
Focus is very trainable via
mindset, mindfulness,
distancing (pausing before you
respond), and resisting
distraction.
Learning is very trainable through
mindfulness (see Focus!) to increase attention
and emotional connection, and through
consciously creating space for learning to sink in.
Personal is trainable through emotional
regulation (see Focus again!).
Also important here is
reframing.
(examples: “When my PC
crashes it means it’s time to
take a break”; “it’s not a
personal attack, she must
be just having a bad day.”)
How can I reframe this situation?
Social is trainable too!
