In December of 2018 my good friend and mentor, Dr. Michael Frisina, was published in the International Journal of Academic Medicine | Volume 4 | Issue 3 | September-December 2018. http://www.journalonweb.com/ijam
As the Canadian Representative and Coach Certified of The Frisina Group’s ‘Center for Influential Leadership’, I am honoured to present the following excerpt from his publication:
There is a revolution taking place exploding decade’s long false beliefs about individual and organizational performance related to the tension between the human performance brain and the human survival brain. This neuroscience revolution is fundamentally shifting learning and development strategies, completely transforming what leaders need to be in a behavior‑centered approach to performance, and the traditional technical skills they need to know to drive performance to the highest level. More than technical skill and intellect, individual leadership behavior is the singular most important predictor to a team’s performance. Sadly, very few leaders know that this dynamic exists or how to leverage leadership behavior to drive performance.
What would you do if you discovered a way to turn on your brain to enable yourself to be happier, to be more prosperous, and to achieve the goals you set for your life? Peace Pilgrim, a renowned American spiritual teacher said, “If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought again.”
Based on the foundation of the latest neuroscience research on the brain, you can learn how thoughts impact your body, mind, and spirit. Based on your thinking patterns, you can promote positive and productive behaviors that lead to mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Think poorly and you can alter the cell structure of your body, lower your immune system response, and become less healthy in mind, body, and spirit. What you are thinking every moment of every day becomes a physical reality in your brain and body that affects your optimal mental and physical health. Gaining the ability to think effectively, choose effectively, and behave effectively is the hallmark of all high achievers and life success regardless of a person’s chosen field of endeavor.
The easiest way to ensure your thoughts are effective is to use your innate skill of Positive Presence –your innate ability to adjust for and create a positive and energize mindset through conscience thought processes that results in achieving peak performance, building and maintaining good relationships, and for experiencing good health. In learning the skill of PP and the self-awareness that comes with it you are able to create the necessary thought-habits that will drive every aspect of your life to new heights.
