Episode Synopsis

What is Flow? Is that magical state where you are so engrossed in what you are doing, that the time flies! What is the relationship between flow and engagement? We are at the best of our productivity when we are flowing, not only because we are highly focused but we are also enjoying ourselves. You are in a state of flow when you are present and in the moment, you are clear about the purpose of your actions, you lack self-consciousness, have a sense of personal control, time flies, and what you are doing is intrinsically rewarding. Coaching can influence each and every one of these factors that make flowing possible.
