The Six Pillars of Peak Performance

  • by

A pillar is, according to Merriam-Webster, “a firm upright support for a superstructure.” If you want to support that superstructure which is your business, or even your life, you need strong pillars. And the more super you want that superstructure to be, the stronger your pillars must be in order for it all to work. At the core of Peak Performance is Six Pillars. They are Planning, Leadership, Excellence, Attitude,… Read More »The Six Pillars of Peak Performance

What is Peak Performance?

  • by

I like the quote used in our last blog post https://richsandsseminars.com/2016/01/2016-a-peak-performance-year/ from Neotherapy that went like this: ““Peak performance is the maximum enhancement of all mental, emotional, physical and situational elements that let us reach optimal level.” Again, It’s not just physical, not just the act of “doing” something at your best effort. It’s a combination of elements that cause us to deliver a peak performance. Greg Wells, PhD, said this: “Peak… Read More »What is Peak Performance?

2016: A Peak Performance Year

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” – John Wooden We’d all like to give our best: you, me, everyone (at least I like to believe that). When we give our best, we create experiences that enhance the lives of our customers, clients, friends, family and in a wonderful,… Read More »2016: A Peak Performance Year

Better Than Sex?

  • by

The Campaign for Learning in the U.K. recently compiled research on an age-old topic: learning. Basically, the article was focused on sharing some statistics in order to get people to see the UP-side of learning. Some of the information they shared was: 95% of people think that learning about new things boosts your confidence. (National Adult Learning Survey, DfEE, 1998)  I am guessing that every one of us could use a… Read More »Better Than Sex?

George/Mary Ann Was Right!

It’s been one of those weird weeks. Torn. That’s what I’ve been. Torn. Yes/No, Too Old/Just Right. Shoulda/Coulda/Woulda. What’s he talking about? I’ve been doing two things this week: booking classes for the rest of 2015 and trail running lots of miles while focusing on getting extremely fit. Outside of those things and my wonderful evenings hanging out with my wife, Linda, not much else is happening. In a lot… Read More »George/Mary Ann Was Right!

Grilling Safety

More people grill in July than any other month. While grilling is all about good food, fun, friends and celebrations, it is important to make sure that accidents don’t interrupt your activities. Approximately half of the injuries involving grills are thermal burns. If you work with fire, there’s a chance of getting burned. Only use BBQ grills outdoors and in ventilated areas. Place the grill away from home or anything… Read More »Grilling Safety

Intermission, Goals and Dancing Hot Dogs

CAUTION! The video below may produce nostalgic memories, hunger or nightmares. Watch only after extreme forethought. Discretion is advised. Happy July 1st. Half of the year is gone. It’s intermission. Anyone old enough to remember drive-in movies will fondly (or scarily) recall juggling popcorn bags, tightrope walking ice cream bars and of course, dancing hot dogs being the highlight of that halfway point at the movie. So tell me (or… Read More »Intermission, Goals and Dancing Hot Dogs

You’ve Got Money!

Imagine that after checking www.SSA.gov to see what you can expect when you retire and estimated what your minimum required distributions from your retirement accounts will be, you’ve discovered that you’re not going to have enough retirement income to cover your living expenses. Ideally, it would be perfect if the extra money you need would just come to your mailbox each month with the same certainty as your social security… Read More »You’ve Got Money!

Back to Basics Works (Again)

I’m recently (and still, it seems) recovering from a hamstring issue. It’s healing, slowly, but healing nonetheless. Sunday, I decided to test it out with an eight mile, progression run (gets faster each mile). Normally, an eight mile run is not a big deal. Unfortunately, I had not been that far in two months. While all in all, the run went well, there were a few middle miles when it… Read More »Back to Basics Works (Again)

Postive Procrastination

The famous words of Scarlett O’Hara in the final moments of Gone With The Wind have been the anchor for procrastinators everywhere: “I’ll worry about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.” Some things, as we know, are better left for another day. SOMETIMES, the best thing to do is to put off until tomorrow…. So, with the help of Success magazine, Psychology Today and the people at Creative… Read More »Postive Procrastination
