High Performance Meditation for Strategic Acumen

First of all, what is High Performance Mind Meditation and how does it help business leaders?

An entrepreneur or high level leader that frequently does High Performance Meditation has Awareness to solve problems that other leaders can’t solve and that they can’t solve if they aren’t meditating, specifically Awareness meditation.
There are different kinds of meditation. Meditation is focus, awareness and then bliss. Bliss is what people think of when they hear meditation, but there is a whole lot that happens before people can achieve blissful states. There are practices outside of this that some people call meditation, which technically they could be if the person is focused. Of the 3, focus and awareness are extremely positively impactful for leadership performance but they are advanced practices.

In this presentation, I cover examples of business problems that have been solved using Awareness meditation and how businesses were positively transformed, including profits.

Why Stopping Stress Saves Money and Retains Top Talent

Research shows that top performers are less likely to tolerate stress and they are more likely to leave and find a job that allows them to have a normal mental state, which started with top talent, and has been extending to a wider part of the workforce. Even though the great resignation appears to be over, people are jockeying to find the jobs that give them quality of life. But stress is a result of the nervous system and not of events, and you can have a high-performance business without the stress. There are practices that reset the nervous system to normal and work way faster than taking time off, so that both work and time off are more successful and enjoyable.

This keynote covers the relationship between stress, normal mental states and focus, and how your business can save on 4 key factors, plus improve your culture at the same time.

Mental Health in High Performers in Our Workplaces

Mental health has been big in the news, with even high-performance athletes taking sabbaticals and with a record number of executives and entrepreneurs quitting, due to stress, overwhelm and burnout. If somebody has a high-performance mind, mental health should be a given and this means practicing techniques for high performance self love and learning and practicing techniques that lower and eliminate stress in the mind.
In this keynote, Kira covers why this is essential for having and developing high performance minds for entrepreneurs and businesspeople and how this improves key traits that high performance minds have that are essential in business. This keynote or workshop covers 5 key business performance traits that can be improved with perspective and removing internal resistance. The fastest way to remove internal resistance is through appropriate meditation specific to high performance in business.

High Performance Mind: Your Best Business Strategy for Sustainable Organizational Culture & Results

There is a perpetual conflict between high performance and stress or overwhelm. People start out in an excited state and high performing, or at least willing to put in the extra effort, and because they aren’t training to handle their minds, this quickly leads to overwhelm and burnout. Others come into a business culture that is already overwhelmed and they can’t do anything else because they haven’t trained their minds and nervous systems to go from stress to high performance, which can be done easily with the right meditation and related techniques that are specific to stopping stress and high performance in business.
