S4 E3: How to Self-lead: A Special Look into the Section 'READY' (Part 1) of the book 'How to Find Flow'

In this episode, Dr Cameron Norsworthy discusses the 'Flow Model' and how it helps individuals recognise and move towards a state of flow. The Flow Model uses colours to indicate different levels of performance: blue represents optimal performance and engagement, while red indicates stress and suboptimal functioning. Cameron shares his personal experiences with the Flow Model and provides practical examples to illustrate how quickly one can shift from flow to stress. The conversation also delves into how rarely flow is prioritised and how intrinsic effort and self-relationship are crucial for achieving flow. A key takeaway is the importance of visualising and prioritising flow over simply aiming for high performance through grit and resilience.
