Optimal Performance

In this unique episode I walk you through a dynamic Life Coaching exercise called the Life Positioning System. This assessment tool is unique to you and your life. It's eye opening. Why do we bother to optimize our performance? What will we do with extra energy and greater focus?  At the heart of all the performance optimization - we must ask ourselves what we're after? What good is biohacking if we're not clear on how it improves our life. This solo show will show you how your life is positioned NOW.
