Have you ever felt burned out and exhausted from the constant pressure to perform, to achieve, or to get it “right”? 

Or is your organization putting a lot of effort into improvement projects and strategic initiatives, but you are finding that you aren’t making much improvement and you are working on the same problems year after year?

If so, you might be stuck in what growth mindset and learning organization expert Eduardo Briceño calls the “Performance Paradox”. This is the counterintuitive reality that a constant focus on performing actually leads to lower performance. 

The secret to high performance is not actually working harder, but learning better. 

You won’t want to miss this episode of Chain of Learning with Eduardo Briceño where we talk about his book “The Performance Paradox: Turning the Power of Mindset into Action” and how you can master the Learning Zone to achieve better performance.

In this episode of Chain of Learning you will learn:

  • How you can turn a growth mindset into action by balancing the “Performance Zone” and the “Learning Zone”
  • The risk for you and your organization if you get stuck in chronic performance 
  • The impact of seeking and receiving feedback on performance and improvement
  • 5 tips to embed growth and learning micro-habits for yourself and within your organization  
  • How you can create the organizational conditions that result in a high-performing learning culture

Tune in to discover the impact that overcoming the Performance Paradox – and mastering the Learning Zone – can have on you, your team, and your organization.
