Why The Performance Curve?
We only have one life. What would make yours a life well lived?
Many of us are striving to reach our full potential at work and beyond - to achieve our goals, rise to challenges and connect well with others. But how can we actively develop our performance, while also taking care of our well-being and life satisfaction? The Performance Curve is a bold new holistic guide that effectively tackles this challenge, providing practical insights into how you can develop your inner operating system (your mindsets, emotions and habits) to sustain a productive and fulfilling life.
Rather than telling you what to do, this book allows you to come up with a roadmap that works in your unique circumstances.
Crucially, this book explores not only how you can improve individual performance, but also how to build relationships and cultures that bring out the best in others. By interweaving individual and collective development, this distinctive approach is transformational for building leadership and organisational performance.
The Performance Curve is a powerful combination of neuroscience, psychological research and practical guidance. These concepts are then brought to life through the stories of remarkable individuals from different sectors, including business, the arts, academia and not-for-profits. Laura Watkins and Vanessa Dietzel draw upon their vast experience in leadership development, business performance, neuroscience and holistic well-being to deliver a ground-breaking guide to success and happiness in both work and life.
