ABSTRACT
When life gets tough- stressful client situations, long-distance swims, tight deadlines- one rely on mental conditioning techniques such as Ride the Breath. These practices help allay stress by recalibrating the nervous system, but they also help sharpen focus and increase awareness. This one is called The Zone. Instead of concentrating on a single point, open the focus on Maglite and take the awareness to the widest possible angle. As one breathe, become aware of all of their senses- smell, taste, touch, sound, sight- with the sensitivity of a hunter stalking its prey. Heightened awareness confers success on all kinds of relationships, not just among team members. It is also vital in handling problem clients. Mark observed, If one have the good fortune of sitting down with a client ahead of time and one can understand and be aligned and in sync, then they have a much better chance at success.
