On this episode of Beyond The Limit I’m talking with Diane Allen. As a young violinist Diane dedicated her heart and soul to becoming a professional musician. Feeling bulletproof with her New York City violin training, she would show up to auditions with visions of winning the job of her dreams. But she found her nerves would get the better part of her.

She wishes she could tell you this was a one time event but it wasn't. She could go to practice, she could go to rehearsal, she could even perform in a concert and automatically lose herself in the music. Getting into a peak state was as easy as turning on a light switch. But as soon as she stepped into an audition, that experience escaped her.

Unable to get the work she was qualified for she was at a high risk of living an unfulfilled life with her music trapped inside of her.

Now after 10 years of determined experimentation, she discovered that by deeply focusing on her musical interpretation, she could get into the music. Her nerves would drop, and she would experience personal best. It turns out her deep focus gave her access to flow state, an optimal state of mind when we feel our best and perform our best.

This led her to become a highly sought after violin teacher and the concert master of the Central Oregon symphony. This life was rewarding for her. And not only was she able to put all of her training and skills and passions to use, but her performance went beyond what she thought she was capable of.

Diane made getting into flow state a repeatable process where today she helps organizations in every kind of industry. And she's teaching people how to access flow state on demand. Through a three-step Flow Strategy™ system. Participants are learning to access peak performance that already exist within them, so they can engage deeply, be highly productive, and tap into their greatest fulfillment.
