Active
CEO Performance Tip
Free Your Mind – We
need to be very disciplined and attentive with our focus currency. It has become
challenging to remain focused, be present and be attentive with globalization
and technology driving constant contact 24/7. We can easily be bombarded with
attention grabbing information, which can provide stressful emotions and be
challenging to filter. Our workplaces have become custom-built to destroy both
individual and team focus. We are exposed to constant chatter and noise in
collaborative working and open plan workspaces. Ever growing number of
scheduled meetings and internal emails can lead to overwhelm and scrambling to
get “real work” completed before and after work, as well as the weekends. How
temping is the lure of social media and social networking streams, status
updates and instant gratification? It is important that you actively free your
mind each day. This can be through exercise, meditation, walking in nature,
listening to music, spending time with your children, breathing patterns,
visualising positive and relaxing thoughts and for others it can be a walk in
nature. How are you going to free your mind today?
Tweets
“Learn how to be your own cheerleader. Nobody is
going to give you a tap on the shoulder, oh my gosh, you did a great job. You
have to do it by yourself, you have to find your own mentors, you have to be
very determined for what you do and have to know how to adapt and change to the
circumstances.” Celebrating the small wins in entrepreneurship with Revital
Golan, on the active CEO Podcast.
“Don’t think that you are sacrificing anything for anybody else. Your kids never ask you to sacrifice anything for them. When they become 18 you can’t say that you sacrificed your career for them.” Revital Golan explains why it’s important to do it for yourself, on the active CEO Podcast.

Active
CEO Performance Tip
To Diet or Not To Diet – People
are often looking for the quick fix, when it comes to food. Many people jump on
the bandwagon of the thousands of fad-style, celebrity endorsed and marketing
designed diets, which have no research into the long-term effects on the body,
mind and soul. Science compared every diet and the winner is real food. The
only diet that has been implemented and remains over a long period of time is
that established 10,000’s of years ago. It is a predominantly plant-based diet
with no processed foods and only included the occasional meat when they were
quick enough to catch it. Those living by the sea would catch fish and seafood.
Why would you incorporate the middle-person in the diet, so to speak, when you
can go straight to the source an eat it. What do I mean by this? Land animals
generally eat plant-based diets including fruit, vegetables and grains, which
are the stable of all nutritious diets. So why do we need to eat red meat, when
it is just the by-product of the plant based foods we need anyway? What diet
should you eat?

Active
CEO Performance Tip
Dedicate Time To CEO
Exercise – Why should a CEO dedicate time in
their busy schedule to incorporate exercise into their daily routine? A CEO
with low energy poses a big problem for a company, as they create a stress
environment each day. Creativeness, decision-making and attention suffer as a
consequence. Family relationships and social life will be impaired, as they
will take longer to complete tasks and will have less energy, than a fit CEO,
to use after work has finished for the day. For CEO’s and leaders to maintain
high levels of integrity, think strategically about the future, have clarity
when making decisions, be energetic and have the confidence to lead a high performing
team, they need to be healthy. This means they need to be attentive to regular
exercise, fuelling their body with the right food, freeing their mind and
recovering with purpose.

CEO Performance Tip
CEO Preparedness – People
make acquisitions because they like and trust the person or people they are
speaking or planning to working with. Therefore the content and performance
preparation, for a meeting or interaction, is an absolute must. Have you
thought about how much time do you spend preparing for an interaction with a person
or group of people, in regards to what you need to say to achieve the desired
outcome, mood you want to set, focus needed and the way you need to use both
verbal and non-verbal communication to achieve the result you are aiming for?

CEO Performance Tip
Leaders Speak Last – How often do you go into a meeting and the lead person
talks, talks and talks some more? The people in the room begin to switch off
and when time comes to action following the meeting, no one really buys into
it. High Performing Leaders always speak last. They may open the meeting and
provide context, before allowing everyone else in the room to speak. They wait
until right at the end of the meeting to wrap up what has been said and
identify steps forward. This ensures everyone has an opportunity to speak, new
ideas can surface and the team makes the decision. In a 30minute meeting, a
