Success, whether personal or professional, often feels like an elusive target. What differentiates those who achieve consistent, lasting success from those who struggle? Lisa Markman, a Certified High Performance Coach™ and the driving force behind High Performance Solutions, shares how cultivating six core habits can lead to transformational outcomes for individuals and teams.
The Science of High Performance
Lisa Markman leverages insights from Brendon Burchard’s research at the High Performance Institute, which studied millions of data points from over 300,000 employees, students, and coaching sessions. This research sought to answer critical questions:
- Why do some people and teams achieve sustained success while others falter?
- What habits support ongoing improvement, well-being, and fulfillment?
- Can anyone learn and adapt these habits?
The findings are clear: high performance is not tied to age, gender, intelligence, or years of experience. Instead, it’s driven by deliberate, learnable habits.
The Six High Performance Habits
Markman integrates these six habits into her coaching and consulting frameworks to help leaders, teams, and organizations thrive:
1. Seek Clarity
High performers identify who they are, what they want, and why it matters. Clear goals prevent distraction and set the foundation for focused progress.
2. Generate Energy
Physical vitality and mental stamina fuel sustained success. High performers prioritize sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management while maintaining a positive mindset.
3. Raise Necessity
Successful individuals elevate the importance of their goals, creating a sense of urgency and purpose. Whether motivated by family, team, or mission, they commit deeply to their objectives.
4. Increase Productivity
Productivity is about prioritizing what matters most. High performers align their efforts with their highest-value goals, avoiding unnecessary distractions.
5. Develop Influence
Building trust and inspiring collaboration are essential for lasting impact. High performers cultivate influence by fostering positive relationships and leading by example.
6. Demonstrate Courage
Success requires stepping outside of one’s comfort zone. High performers face challenges, take calculated risks, and embrace growth opportunities.
High Performance: More Than Results
“High performance isn’t just about reaching your goals—it’s about maintaining consistency, well-being, and positive relationships while doing so,” Markman explains. Her clients report increased productivity and greater fulfillment and joy in their efforts.
Applying High Performance Habits
These habits can also benefit organizations. Markman specializes in helping leaders integrate these principles into their teams to reduce burnout, improve engagement, and boost retention.
“By focusing on these habits, leaders can cultivate a high-performance culture that supports individual growth and collective success,” says Markman.
Unlock Your Potential
Markman invites individuals and teams to begin their journey toward high performance with a complimentary assessment and strategy session. “Ask yourself: What is required of me to serve at the next level? How can I grow into that?”
