In this episode, I interview Katie Stoddart who in addition to supporting executives to reach and sustain peak performance also has a podcast ‘The Focus Bee’.  I put her in the hot-seat of having to examine how she tames her own monkey mind to be able to hold space for her high-performance clients and bring out the best in them and their lives.

She explains how she allows time to pause before any session with a client to allow her to show up in a calm state and tap into whatever the client is going through.  A process that she likens to being a detective digging for clues into the key issues.

The juicy bits of the interview will share with you:

• How & why she became interested in peak performance and that high performance does not simply mean high income.
• Why a passionate focus on time, energy and attention management is key.  Plus, a focus on leadership skills.  This means that instead of only focusing on our outcomes, we keep them in mind, we work on them, but at the side, we're looking at how am I managing my energy? How am I managing my tension during the day?  How am I dealing with my mindset and keeping perfectionism or control issues or fears at bay?
• That productivity is less about time management than it is about ‘energy & attention’ management
• Why she invites everybody to re-connect with the magic! (living & working with intention)
• The importance of working in your zone of genius
• How she works with entrepreneurs and the type of results they get together
• That financial gain and money are a side effect of high performance: feeling great leads to money.
