If we want to guarantee performance so we can always deliver the results we want, we need to understand what drives our behaviour.
To answer that question, we need to peel back each layer of the human system, one by one, to understand the deeper drivers of performance. Firstly, what drives behaviour is thinking. What we think determines what we do.
To change the quality of our thinking, drive a different behaviour, improve performance and achieve better results, we have to change the way we feel.
The reason it is so hard to control or change the way we feel is because of the raw emotion that is occurring in our body without us necessarily realising it.
What’s driving our behaviour is our thinking, which is largely determined by our feelings, which themselves are the awareness of our emotions, which are made up of our physiological signals.
There is no mystery to performance – our effectiveness and the results we achieve start with something much deeper in the human system than behaviour – our physiology.
