💡 When You're Off Your Game but Don’t Know Why: Understanding Performance Influencers

What truly separates high performers from everyone else? Contrary to popular belief, it's not just raw talent or relentless positivity—it's their ability to identify and manage the specific influencers that affect their performance.

During our enlightening conversation, we dive deep into the six critical influencers that shape our ability to perform consistently at high levels: spiritual, mental, environmental, emotional, physical, and social. These factors create a complex web that either supports or undermines our performance capabilities. The fascinating revelation is that for most high performers, it's not their mindset itself that threatens their success, but rather the various elements that knock them out of alignment.

We explore how creating your personalized "success formula" works as a practical tool—almost like having your own technical rider that travels with you through challenges. This formula helps you anticipate potential disruptions to your rhythm and make accommodations before they derail you. Instead of maintaining a restrictive tunnel vision of forced positivity, this approach encourages you to stay open while developing familiarity with your specific detractors.

The most powerful moment comes when we discuss how recognizing these patterns transforms your relationship with obstacles. When challenges arise, you can meet them with calm recognition: "I've felt this before. I've seen this before. It's not going to kill me." This perspective shift turns potential threats into opportunities for growth and learning, maintaining your consistency even when outside stressors threaten to shake your foundation.

It makes absolute, perfect sense and that's exactly the work I do. So you are describing the influencers of a high performer. High performers are people that can consistently do things really well, like athletes, dancers, performers doesn't even have to be in those areas, but in your case, you know what you do, so you're cognizant that you can do it well. You've done the work, you've done that and all of that, and you have proof that you have done it well. But what you're saying is there are sometimes things that affect your mindset, that take you out of balance, take you offline and threaten to affect your performance. And the influencers literally I'll just share them with you and the influencers literally, I'll just share them with you are spiritual, mental, environmental, emotional, physical and social. And once we draw awareness around these and how they help or hinder our performance, then we can intentionally set ourselves up for success consistently. So it's not that right. Does that make sense to you?

I feel it was interesting that the influencers were like categorized, because I've never like thought about it like that.

Lisa: 1:42

It is, and literally you know high performers, which is who I work with. They can create their own success formula, because there are things that threaten to get in the way that affect your mindset. So it's not so much for high performers their mindset that is threatening them. It's things that are not in alignment that then kick them off, right Does that make sense.

Client: 2:05

Yes, that's exactly, I think. Think what I was trying to say Feel that if I yeah, allow those outside stressors to shake me. Yep, I like that you said like consistently do good work, because I feel like consistency is really difficult.

You can look at your rhythm and become aware of how you're affected, how things wane, and then you can make accommodations for yourself. I mean, it's like having a tech writer for yourself. When you go on the road, things will affect you, but you can be in your power about how and what you can do about it, rather than going like this and creating, you know, barriers and saying, no, I'm just going to only have a tunnel mindset. With my positivity, it's staying open and then understanding what the what the detractors might be, and then you know, disempowering them honestly by becoming more familiar with them, so when they arrive, they don't take you out.

Client: 3:15

Yeah as like yeah, it's not. You're like oh, I've felt this before, I've seen this before.

Lisa: 3:20

Yeah, it's not going to kill me.

Client: 3:22
