UUCON Meta Performance™ Training
Six stages to prepare. Two days to break through. A playbook to keep going.
Each stage pairs something to read or listen to with a reflection question or two. Use as much or as little as helps. Tick items off as you go, and your progress saves to My Prep.
Your readings, episodes and answers save automatically in this browser, so use the same device each time. They're private to you. No one else, including your trainers, can see them.
Field notes are short primers written for this Meta Performance™ Training. Articles and podcast episodes come from Novus Global and the Beyond High Performance podcast and open in a new tab.
There are no right answers, only honest ones. Write in your own words; a few sentences is plenty. Your answers are private. No one else sees them, including your trainers. Answer as many as you like, whenever you like.
The tools and frameworks are consistent from training to training. What comes up in the room depends on the team, and your trainers apply each tool to the real challenges UUCON brings.
Rather than analyzing the content, you'll be looking for your own blind spots. That's where the value is. Everything is invitational, and most people find it changes how they show up at home as much as at work.
We start by getting everyone ready to participate in a way that creates the most value. Every exercise is invitational: join in as little or as much as you like, with time for both personal reflection and group sharing.
Key takeawaysMost people vastly underestimate what they're capable of. Without a clear vision, and a sense of how it fits the organization, teams end up frustrated by miscommunication and misalignment.
Key takeawaysA playful way to explore your mindset and shift it if you choose. Is what you believe about yourself, others and the world helping or hurting you?
Key takeawaysIntegrity is the foundation for getting twice as much done in half the time with greater satisfaction. Where integrity breaks down, trust erodes. Honoring your word rebuilds it.
Key takeaways“If they would just take more ownership…” Here we map the path from a victim mindset to an owner's mentality through thoughts, beliefs and language.
Key takeawaysWhat if the conversations being avoided actually happened, regularly? Feedback stops being something to dread and becomes a gift.
Key takeawaysWhere there's misalignment, there are gaps to close. Once the team has a compelling vision, aligning around it is the next step to making it real.
