Performance, Innovation & Creative Flow 

A personal and team culture building program for

performance, innovation, and creativity

for artists, designers, techies, scientists … and more.

A translational astrobiology, protocell, origin of life informed approach

to human factors design to

support innovation, discovery and systems thinking 

in all biological and life related research.

The program provides a novel psycho-physiology, mind-body process for performance, inquiry, innovation, creative flow, and creative expression.

It dovetails your:

Physical fitness routines 

Personal workflow process

Style of inquiry, innovation, creativity and creative expression

The program supports many business and industries types,  and is highly supportive of biology, medical and 

health related organizations.

The Approach:

Using a sophisticated and practical framework of psycho-physiology, the program addresses real daily challenges that you face. 

- Access deep levels of inquiry in the face of uncertainty and mystery.

- Organizing large volumes of data and disorganized data.

- Sustaining a natural energy that exists between you and your challenge. 

- Transform tension into ideas, opportunity, synchronicity, growth and value. 

- Sustaining mind-body wellness to sustain your capacity to perform.

- Balancing an assertive drive with a natural flow.   

Human Factors   Imagination     & Innovation      "Innovation has no Master"

Personal and Team Culture Building - By Many Names

Creative tension      Attitude       Inner game       Mental game       Performance ritual

Flow state        Reset         Fitness practice     In the zone      Mental aikido     Unwind

Resiliency       De-compress     Mindfulness      Wellness     Check-in

Each person has their own style of w0rking, creativity, expression, performance, self awareness, collaboration, presence,  and stress and resiliency style.   And, when all members of a team share compatible beliefs, attitude and 'fitness' practices the team benefits.  Effectiveness becomes embedded in the culture.

This is a component of collaboration.

How do you Maintain and Refine your Instrument?

Each one of us has the same tools -  our brain and our body.  This is our primary instrument.  How do we utilize them to achieve our goals?

This program guides you and your team with practical, mind-body-somatic tools and experiences to refine their personal 'fitness' practice – their personal Creative Flow process.   

Principles and skills are drawn from physical science, neuroscience, sports performance, artists and creative practices - and more.

Performance Work Cycles 

Micro-fitness Rituals

This program invites you to prepare for your daily challenges as you would train for a sporting event, a fitness or yoga class, a  meditation retreat, a theater performance, or public speaking event.  As well, the same way you would  prepare for a long awaited , joyous  family reunion. Train the brain/mind and the body.  Prepare.

Building upon the principles of exertion/recovery from sports training, this program advances the concept of 'micro-fitness', an innovative tactic for you to use multiple times a day to support your focus, performance, relationships and wellness.  It is a brief bundle of techniques, 10 to 30 seconds or longer, that activate and align your mind and body to the task at hand - whether it is a creative, analytical, relationship, or logistic task. Specifically, these techniques counter-act the effects of excess stress that disrupt your capacity to function. 

This set of principles to based upon:

Simple and practical anatomy and physiology principles found commonly in the fitness and performance industry

Sophisticated and deep anatomy and physiology principles translated from astronaut health challenges, high performance environments, and origin of life/protocell principles.

The micro-fitness techniques are implemented into performance work cycles.  A work cycles is a 24 hour rhythmic process of work/exertion and recovery.  Each cycle is approximately 90 to 120 minutes.  This time cycles influences the capacity of your performance.  It is like the charge capacity of your cell phone battery, or the volume of your gas tank in your car.

Embedded into this work cycles are sets of anatomy and physiology principles that influence your effectiveness in multiple scenarios.

The innovative tactics of this program help you work smarter, stay more connected with your team, and stay more healthy.

These skills and methods are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including:

Mind-Body, Somatics, Brain Science,Meditation, Humor and Play, Sports & Fitness, Massage & Bodywork,

Integrated Health & Wellness,Art & Humanities.

Avoiding Analytical and Technology Stress   The speed and pressure of business often causes excess mental, analytical stress.  People get frozen to their screens and keyboards. This creates ergonomic stress patterns; hands become claws on the keyboard, eyes become fixated, and the neck and shoulders go into pain. People can get stuck in over-thinking and excess precision.  Social relationship skills often are detrimentally effected. Long term this is detrimental to productivity.  This program helps build resilience skills to prevent and unlock and transform these stress patterns into creative potential.

Interoception and Interogenesis Tactic       A center piece of this ‘Psycho-Physiology Fitness’ program is the use of interoception and interogenesis principles.  These are core principles of the psycho-physiology model of this program.   Interoception is the human ability to perceive our internal felt sense, such as our mood or our sense of stress.     Interogenesis is to actively generate an internal signal/force to create a mood, or behavior, or expression.                            See: Interogenesis - The Principles   These principles, combined with other elements of anatomy and physiology, create a novel psycho-physiology, mind-body, process for performance, inquiry, innovation, creative flow, and creative expression.
