Aligned Positive Influencer

 

We have all heard the expression, “In the Zone.” Athletes often use the term, but it can apply to anyone who has increased their performance by getting themselves into a place of performance enhancing focus. Most of us have experienced that type of focus from time to time. It’s when you are engaged in an activity, and you experience an easy, pleasant, and elated mental state while performing the chosen activities. For a basketball player it could be a feeling of being one with the ball, hitting shots and deftly moving through the opposing team’s defense with clarity of purpose and ease. For an artist, it may feel like the image being created comes to mind in incredible detail and flows from the mind to the canvas with seeming guided by divine clarity.

We can “Get in The Zone” when we have the necessary skills and choose to do so. It requires clarity of purpose, positive emotional state of mind, a sense of purpose, and a clear goal focus. In other words, we like what we are doing, and it feels good to do it. Because it is enjoyable and it feels good to do it, our performance and success is enhanced, and we produced impressive results. That is being “In The Zone.”

Whether athletics or academics, when we feel good doing what we are doing, have clear goals, a sense of purpose, and the correct set of skills, we easily perform at an elevated level. In other words, we can “Get In The Zone!” We have aligned our positive focus, with a clear desire to succeed and brought to bear our practiced skills and abilities to achieve a higher level of performance.

Getting in the zone often happens without thought when we are participating in activities we genuinely enjoy. However, by cultivating and aligning your positive focus through emotional development, in addition to learning the correct skills we can get in the zone by choice. Applying this emotional development and skills acquisition to the organization’s success enhances both teamwork and individual purpose and performance. By achieving that alignment, you will become an “Aligned Positive Influencer” (API).

Of course, an API is a high performer by choice and design. In addition, because of their alignment, they become a catalyst and exude positive influence on others providing the focus, direction and atmosphere that elevates the collective performance and success. They have cultivated and aligned a positive emotional state, clear sense of purpose, and channeled them through solid professional skills to become that positive creator or Aligned Positive Influencer or “API.”

You also discover when seeking to become an API and leading other people, to lead others to enhanced performance requires a high degree of self-leadership. It requires that high degree of self-leadership to cultivate a positive emotional state, to have and provide for others a clear sense of purpose, and a goal focused environment.

TLI training programs provide “state of the art” skills“, processes and alignment tools that will develop you into an extraordinarily successful API.
