In this episode of the Impactful Teamwork Podcast, host Julia Felton explores the concept of 'flow,' an optimal state of consciousness where individuals perform at their best. Drawing from her experiences with equine facilitated leadership retreats, Julia discusses the power of experiential learning and how working with horses provides instant feedback on leadership styles. She outlines the stages and triggers of flow, offers practical advice on achieving and maintaining this state, and emphasises the importance of creating distraction-free environments and intrinsic motivation. Julia also highlights the benefits of group flow in enhancing team performance and shares insights from her research with Stephen Kotler and the Flow Collective. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own flow states and consider the benefits of experiential learning to improve productivity and creativity in their teams.00:00 Introduction to Impactful Teamwork00:55 Host Introduction and Episode Focus01:34 Experiential Learning with Horses02:44 Understanding Flow States03:18 Research Insights on Flow03:50 Defining Flow and Its Benefits06:56 Triggers and Conditions for Flow07:57 Flow in Experiential Learning13:33 Steps to Achieve Flow17:21 Group Flow and Team Performance19:23 Conclusion and Further ResourcesConnect with Julia:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTake the IMPACTFUL Teamwork Quiz to assess your team's communication, creativity culture, goal clarity, and conflict resolution skills!Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on Spotify
