Weekly Leader's Digest: 3 steps for harnessing flow state

When was the last time you were in a flow state?

 As we enter this final stretch before Thanksgiving, I want to share some insights inspired by The Art of Impossible by Steven Kotler. Kotler explores how to harness our biology to enter "flow"—that highly focused, energized state where we lose track of time. At this busy time of year, it’s a great opportunity to use our strengths to achieve flow more often. Think about strengths as your natural gateway to flow.

For example, if Learner is in your top strengths, you may find flow in skill acquisition. If Competition ranks high for you, you might feel in flow in high-stakes situations or by setting up small, daily challenges. This week, I encourage you to reflect on a recent flow experience: when was the last time you lost track of time, and what strength were you using? Identifying these moments can help you create intentional, strength-based pathways to flow every day.
