THE LION EFFECT
ONE DEGREE FROM FLOW
“Our purpose is not what we do…
…our purpose is what happens for YOU, when we do what we do.”

THE ASK… is the mission we choose to undertake.
THE TASK… is how our vision is realized.
THE PRIZE… is the state of FLOW where we come alive.

SCIENCE IS PROVING
Unconditional Success Is Possible

THE REBEL CEO
It IS A Jungle. You ARE The Kings And Queens

ALWAYS ONE DEGREE FROM FLOW
Internal
We activate our Executive Focus Patterns to master our challenges.
External
We leverage ‘High Touch’ – The Team Dynamic that increases Stress Resistance.
Outcome
Executive Focus + Team Dynamic fast-track our access to FLOW.

PIVOTRY IN MOTION
The shift we achieve in mood, mindset and attitude is Pivotry in Motion.
It happens when “It’s not that bad” becomes “Not good enough.”
When we’re ready, curious, eager and hungry
… to roar … to soar … to claim what is meant for us.

The best among us learn to anticipate the recurring waves of Change.
No matter how successful they’ve been, they don’t allow their Ego to get in the way of the work they do to continue to grow.
They set boundaries that prevent stress from obscuring their vision or blocking the paths they follow.

What they achieve with this kind of balance is the mental-emotional-energetic state we know as FLOW.
As we reach FLOW, our ability to dial in on what matters and resist external distractions grows.
Our capacity for learning and our desire to “train to maintain” keeps us ready to ride the next cresting wave;
…ready to keep the toxic jackals at bay;
…ready to leverage the power and momentum of the waves of Change.

Change brings challenges we fail to see coming;
…that we fail to prepare for and fail to meet with success.
Why? They had fallen prey to The Four Jackals
Ego/Greed
Overwhelm/Exhaustion
Grief/Depression
Rage/Fear.

They had lost their hunger to grow and their access to FLOW, where passion fuels drive and excellence.
They hadn’t bothered to “train to maintain.
When they were called to Excellence Training Camp…
…they’d failed the test.

We Are Always One Degree From Flow
Until We Learn to Train To Maintain
Our decision to shift away from Ego-External influences and choose the clarity of Internal Flow
…is the One Degree we talk about that separates us from our potential for excellence, growth and resilience.
Choosing the work that closes the distance is a moment-by-moment decision.
When we opt to navigate the turning point that frees us from the adrenalin rush;
…when we resist the pull of toxic-past and scary-future scenarios;
…when we clear the way to our fresh possibilities.

Pivotry in Motion
This powerful turning point moment is our mental/emotional reset ability.
It triggers our instinct to opt IN or OUT
IN to follow our passion
OUT to give in to the pull of…
“Familiar is safe” … “Less is okay”
“It’s not that bad today anyway”

Ego/Greed
The turning point in our rise to success comes when we forget why we came.
We reach the point of STALL in our Ascent
…when we forget that we are mere mortals and begin to believe our Press Releases.
We fall fast and hit hard when we fail to see
…that excellence has always been the product of showing up and leaning in.

Overwhelm/Exhaustion
We define the state of “Overwhelm” as…
Mental Confusion + Emotional Exhaustion x External Stressors and Uncertainty.
When we allow ourselves to be influenced by External signals and drivers,
we are more susceptible to Overwhelm.
We learn to distance ourselves with simple, yet effective stress release tools
that restore our internal focus and reconnect our natural state of FLOW.

Grief/Depression
The pre-frontal cortex is where our Executive Function (cause-effect) skills develop.
Unexpected and/or extended exposure to sources of trauma and and stress
can interrupt or irreparably impair Executive Function development.
This can look like in life … a CEO suddenly unable to use their ‘super power’ abilities
in the wake of a tragic death, unexpected disaster, loss of status, assets, roles or skills.

Rage/Fear
Our primal brain is hard-wired for survival against impossible odds.
When we enter a room or take to the stage, this brain believes there’s a tiger out there.
Cortisol fuels our primal drive to react to external distractions.
Dopamine brings us back to the Lion Within, where our greatness lives.

The Lion Effect
Success & Resilience Recovery
The Lion Effect is how we help you find your way back to your vision, passion, purpose and drive.
Step by step, we help you find your Flow, where clarity and focus make you invincible.

Success is a process. Resilience is a practice.
We have the capacity to excel when we invest in self-care
as a way to enhance, nurture and support our ability to feel and heal…
because no amount of physical readiness can override
emotional damage caused by stress, overwhelm and untreated, chronic trauma.

Resilience Recovery
When we Train to Maintain the way we Feel and Heal
…our focus is learning how to access our state of Internal Flow.
Our Lion Effect portfolio of techniques and tools identify and address
…the emotional confusion and mental conflict we struggle with
when External Messaging contradicts our intentions, passions and beliefs.

Why This Matters and Who It Serves
Our Global Village population has experienced increasing isolation, disconnect and loneliness
since we entered the virtual reality of a social media world.
No longer feeling seen or heard, spending less time with close friends or loved ones,
we have drifted into an uncharted sea of uncertainty.
And then, a Global pandemic that came with no How To instruction booklet.
Relationships suffered. Businesses closed. Careers ended. People died.
Our capacity for Joy and Passion, Compassion and Drive is fighting an uphill battle to survive.
