Flexible strength: The key to health, well-being, and performance

I help individuals and organizations apply the latest findings from behavioral science to achieve health, well-being and peak performance.

Flexible strength (also termed psychological flexibility) is the ability to persist in effective behavior, and change behavior when it is not effective, in order to promote personal growth and build valued action and peak performance. The psychological skills that support flexible strength have been given many labels, including: mindfulness, emotional awareness, value clarity, self-compassion, growth mindset, creativity, willpower, resilience, persistence, and grit.

Flexible strength applies not just to the individual but also to groups. A strong group is one that cooperates well, maximizes each others talents, and manages selfishness and difficult people effectively.
