The Human Factor Podcast Episode 29: Performance and Growth - Tapping into the Unconscious Mind with Danny Donachie

Throughout our podcast series we have touched on the areas of performance and personal growth. A common thread throughout many of the conversations has been the importance of doing the basics brilliantly as part of our daily performance. What we haven’t perhaps discussed so far what “performance” actually means and how do we influence it, improve it and benefit from it. Over the last couple of years the term “high performance” has been coined and used extensively and I believe that has perhaps created a perception that only a small percentage can actually achieve “high performance” and can act as an inhibitor. So what is the bedrock of performance??? I love the quote from James March (Professor at Stanford University) “Neither Success nor Change requires dramatic action. The conventional, routine activities that produce most organisational change require ordinary people to do ordinary things in a competent way” which reinforces the theory that the execution of the basic fundamentals are the bedrock and foundation of our performance every day. We will be exploring all this today with Danny and tapping into his work over the last 25 years working with an array of organisations, leaders, and individuals to drive their best level of performance and unblocking the myriad of barriers that often get in the way.
