Why Slowing Down is a New Access for Performance with Jeff Willmore & Richard Condon
Category: Business
Duration: 00:27:34

Description:

Summary: Join us while we discuss what it means to really slow down and how that simple act, can profoundly impact our lives and our businesses. Together we look at the paradox; you have to slow down to speed up. It’s no wonder that in the Buddhist tradition, it’s called the ‘sacred act of pausing’. We invite you to take the next week and slow down and see what happens for you.

Highlights: 

  • Our brains are not designed to slow down 
  • A new access for performance
  • Beginning to start a practice for yourself
  • Paradox: You have to slow down to speed up
  • The power of Intent 

Quotes:

“If I’m not slowing down, I’m missing out on life. In the Buddhist tradition it’s called the ‘sacred act of pausing’.”

“With alignment comes unpredictable results, flow, power, velocity” 

“The moment you connect, that moment is no longer mundane.” 

“Very rarely are we present to and articulating, ok, here, what is my intention?"
