== Peak performance ==
''See also:'' [[Peak performance]] and [[Flow state]]
In the field of [[psychology]], particularly [[sport psychology]], peak performance is a mental and physiological state that is also known as peak experience, the zone of optimal functioning and flow. It specifically refers to a moment when an individual puts it all together, when they are in the zone of "[[flow state]]", and when they achieve an exceptional performance.<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-peak-performance-anyway-donna-marino-psyd-cipp-ppc/ What Is Peak Performance, Anyway?] by Dr. Donna Marino</ref>
According to Medical News Today:
{{Cquote|The term “flow state” describes a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity. They are directing all of their attention toward the task, and they do not experience many thoughts about themselves or their performance. Some people refer to this informally as being “in the zone.”
The concept of flow comes from the field of positive psychology, which is the study of things that help humans thrive. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who was an influential part of the movement, coined the term.
Flow has similarities with mindfulness, as both involve a focus on the present moment. However, people often use the term “flow” in reference to situations in which they are being productive, whereas a person can be in a state of mindfulness regardless of whether they are doing a task.<ref>[https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/flow-state What a flow state is and how to achieve it], Medical News Today</ref>}}
Performance [[anxiety]] can hinder a person when it comes to peak/exceptional performance.

=== Developing a winning mindset ===
The Franklin Covey company (related to best-selling author [[Stephen Covey]] who wrote the book ''[[The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey|The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People]]'', indicates: "Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good! (See: [https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/habit-4/#:~:text=Win%2Dwin%20sees%20life%20as,it%20tastes%20pretty%20darn%20good!

Having a network of allies makes a person or organization more resilient/[[antifragility|anti-fragile]] during challenging times and relationships that are win-wing relationships are more enduring.
