Step into a realm I hold dear as I introduce you to Alan Fine's performance excellence formula. This guiding principle not only fuels my role as a coach, mentor and trainer but also illuminates my interactions with leaders and professional coaches, promising transformative insights.
Alan Fine's impactful work is dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations, amplifying their performance through the lenses of mindset and effective goal-setting. He emphasizes that suboptimal performance rarely stems from a knowledge deficit and introduces the notion that focus, faith, and fire are the primary catalysts propelling excellence. Recognizing the presence of inherent mental interferences or inner blockages, Fine encourages us to cultivate awareness that steers us towards
nurturing focus,
boosting faith, and
igniting fire.
His idea is that this will empower us to navigate around these barriers, guiding us toward success in various realms of life, including work, learning, and a wide array of enriching experiences.
All of this offers an intriguing lens through which to explore the dynamics of one's performance as a function of competence and willingness. Assuming, albeit moderately, that the challenge often isn't about "not knowing" but rather about "not doing what we know," a thought-provoking perspective emerges. In this context, it becomes clear that motivation is a fusion of sharp focus and genuine, not artificially inflated, confidence, accompanied by the fire to initiate action—the very adrenaline that propels us forward.
This is a brilliant decryption of how to positively influence motivation.
To amplify focus, engage in conversations that guide individuals in defining their life/work aspirations while delving into the profound "why"—that greater purpose that transcends immediate outcomes.
Spark discussions that encourage reflection on one's strengths, evident in real-life experiences across various domains.
By investing in focus and fostering authentic confidence (faith), the inherent drive to take action becomes a natural and unstoppable outcome (fire).
So, the next time you ponder how to support another person’s performance, where would you start?
