Fighter pilots are experts at developing the power of focus under pressure. Fighter pilot turned Head of UK Military Flying Training Rob Caine explains the powerful concept of "the bubble"—a state that helps block out distractions and allows for complete concentration on the task at hand. Whether you’re flying a jet, preparing for a presentation at work or just trying to focus at work, creating a bubble of focus is key to reaching your peak performance. We also discuss how the bubble helps us tap into a flow state, where our best work happens naturally and effortlessly.

Key topics include:

• The Bubble: How fighter pilots use it to shut out distractions, maintain calm, and stay focused, even in the most demanding environments.
• Finding Flow: How the bubble creates the perfect conditions for flow—a state where actions feel effortless, and peak performance just happens without force.
• Expanding Your Bubble: The more experience you gain, the larger your bubble becomes—allowing you to manage distractions without losing focus.
• Applying the Bubble in Everyday Life: How you can create your own bubble of focus, communicate it with others, and manage distractions—whether preparing for a big presentation or simply trying to get into flow during a busy day.

By learning to create and expand your bubble, you’ll improve your ability to find flow, enhance focus, and ultimately perform at your best in all aspects of life.
