Exciting news!!! I have changed my business from Matt Alfonso Coaching to Culture Through Leadership!

The primary focus is to help companies build safe, supportive, engaged, and high-performing cultures. We achieve this through developing their leadership skills, which will allow the culture to be sustainable.

I decided to focus on culture and leadership because I have seen its impact on people's performance and well-being. Great leaders can inspire others, bring out the best in people, and create cultures where people can be their true selves. On the other hand, bad leaders and cultures can cause people great hardships both personally and professionally.

In the coaching, we focus on gaining clarity, achieving specific goals, and skill development. Mindful leadership is a significant part of the culture and leadership coaching.

Coaching offerings:
*3-Month Leadership Coaching
*5-Month Culture and Leadership Coaching
*5-Month Team Coaching

Keynote speeches and workshops:
*Building Culture Through Leadership
*Becoming a Mindful Leader
*Mindfulness at Work

Online Courses:
*Mindful Leadership Academy
*High-Performance Accelerator

Make sure to visit my new website culturethroughleadership.com to learn more. Link is also in my bio.

If you or someone you know is interested in creating a thriving culture and improving their leadership skills then make sure to reach out to me right away!

I recently took a vacation to Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas. A few years before the pandemic, I had been taking yearly yoga vacations. I find these to be a great way to relax, connect with others, and take care of my health. This vacation was the first one since the pandemic started and was something that I have been looking forward to!

The trip didn’t disappoint and was a great experience for me. It was a combination of yoga, meditation, satsungs (chanting and lectures), walks, journaling, and swimming in the ocean. Here are the main lessons that I took away from it.

*The importance that taking time off has for both your mood and mental clarity. I can notice a significant difference in both.

*More compassion and less judgment. I found myself negatively judging a few people and then when I got to know them they were wonderful people.

*You create your own life. Design it in a way where you get to do the activities you want, go to the places you want, and be with the people that you want.

*Keep the purpose of your trip/event/project in mind and make your schedule to that. Mine was to relax, recharge, and reconnect. It wasn’t to take workshops or do a lot of activities.

*Death can be a great motivator for people as we don’t know when our end date is. Also, be willing to talk about death with others.

*The quality of your breath determines the quality of your life. One of the yoga teachers said this and I loved it.

*Listen to your body.

*In order to connect with someone, you need to get out of your own head.

*The keys to happiness are service and growth.

*Be a master at controlling your state. This may require you to relax and get centered or increase your energy.

Comment below and let me know which one of these points resonated with you the most.

6 Ways to get into a Flow State at Work  
A flow state is when you are at peak performance. During this time you can focus, are creative, efficient, and thoughtful. People often think about being in flow in sports, when you are in the zone. You can get into this same state in your professional life as well.

So how do you get into this flow state??

Here are six ways: 
*Get grounded - take a minute to close your eyes and focus on your breath. You can breathe naturally or do a breathing technique. This allows you to get calm, centered, and present.

*Focus on one task at a time

*Eliminate Distractions

*Get up and take breaks - Every 30-45 minutes get up and move for a few minutes. 
*Get enough sleep at night

*Visualize yourself at your best. Make this a part of your daily routine.  
It is the application of these strategies that will make all the difference. As you start to incorporate these you will notice yourself getting into peak performance more often and for longer periods of time.  
P.S.

I am now offering free 30-minute Sample Coaching Sessions. If you are interested in having a session to help you with a specific topic, please reach out to me. These sessions can help you gain clarity, come up with action steps, and shift your mindset.

How do we prevent burnout??

Oftentimes, it is knowing when to pause. There are going to be times when you are going full speed in your life with your work and home responsibilities.

At some point when doing this you will start to feel mentally and physically worn down and your productivity will start to decrease. You may also feel some discomfort in a certain part of your body such as pressure in your stomach, head, or chest.

When you start to notice this it is essential that you listen to your body! It is trying to tell you that you need a break.

I noticed this last week as a result of moving and launching a new program. I decided that I just needed a break and enjoyed some time at the pool.

When you notice this yourself make sure to take some time to look after your needs. For you this may be taking a day off, going to a movie, going for a hike, or anything else that helps you get reentered and recharge. This will not only help your mental health but will also increase your work performance.

Leave a comment below on what you do when you take a pause.

Closing the Performance Gap

The performance gap is the difference between what you know you need/want to be doing and what you are actually doing. The goal is to make this gap as small as possible.   Brendon Burchard said, "Common sense isn't always common practice." Just because you know that doing a certain thing is beneficial doesn't mean you will actually do it.   So how do you close this gap??

✨First thing is to analyze your current situation and to see where the gap is.

✨Then look at why you are currently not doing and the reason that you want to start. Oftentimes, you need to make a mindset shift in how you are thinking about it.

✨Next is to develop positive habits around what will be most beneficial to you. For these smart small to gain momentum, plan for any pitfalls and reward yourself for being successful.

**You don't need to be perfect and this is never the goal. It is not about what you should be doing but rather about what you want to do to increase your happiness, relationships, work performance, etc. So as you are working to close this gap it is essential to accept where you are currently at and to show yourself self-love.

P.S. If you are interested in joining my signature coaching program, High Performance Accelerator then send me a message ASAP. This program will help you close this performance gap more quickly and allow you to take control of your life. The program starts on September 6th and spots are filling up.

Two things come to mind when I think of the quote: “People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision” by John Maxwell.

The first is that leaders need to take time to develop meaningful relationships. It’s not about getting the people to like you but rather to respect and trust you. When people know that you have their back, you genuinely care for them and you are a person of integrity then they will gladly buy into you as a leader.

The second is that you need to be a competent and have leadership skills. I firmly believe that leaders are made and not born. If you look at some of the great leaders of all time, many of them weren’t natural leaders. They worked hard and developed the knowledge and skills to become transformational leaders. This is about doing the internal work. You develop as a leader through both knowledge and practice.

So remember if you want to have people buy into your vision then make sure you have taken the time to build relationships and have done the work to develop your own leadership skills.

If you are looking to develop yourself and your leaderships skills then send me a message about High Performance Accelerator. This is a 90-day 1-on-1 coaching program. Registration for the Fall program is closing soon.

How do you view change?

Change can be a scary thing or it can be exciting! Oftentimes it is a combination of both.

How we view it though makes all the difference in our lives.

The one constant in this world is change! Everything from our bodies to our environment to our circumstances are constantly changing.

For me I’ve learned to embrace this change over the years. Yesterday, I just moved to Wilmington, NC. Moving to a new city where I only know one person can be a scary thing! It can also be really exciting in that I get to meet new people, try new places, experience a new culture and create the next chapter in my life!

It all comes down to your mindset. What is your perspective on the situation? What is your attitude? What are your moment to moment thoughts? What do you believe will happen?

I encourage you to constantly be working on having the best mindset for you. If you are looking for assistance in this area then reach out to me. A cornerstone of my coaching program, High Performance Accelerator, is on developing your mindset.
