Catalyzing Performance - Coaching Flow Chart

Have you ever had a moment when you were in the zone while designing? That moment where you’re fully engaged and you’re moving fast, learning, and being challenged? Balancing challenge against your current skill set is a way to determine how to find that “zone” or in this case, your Flow and to maintain it without burning out.
