Every “magical” performance starts in the mind of the performer ...

We’ve all watched in awe and admiration as an elite athlete like Olympic Swim Champion Michael Phelps, won gold medal after gold medal, or three time overall World Cup champion and four time World Cup slalom champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin won her titles ...

We’ve also seen entrepreneurial mavericks, like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Larry Page, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg turn an idea into a multi-billion dollar company, seemingly overnight. 

And, it’s the same thing when an entertainer, like Madonna, Adele, Pink or Lady Gaga walks out in front of 60,000 people filling a stadium and owns the crowd! 

All great performers possess a way of accessing a powerful performance state at will, whenever they want or need it. I call this the “State of Perfection” and I’ve been teaching people exactly how to access it for themselves for three decades.

This is the same skillset I’ve taught to elite military and law enforcement special operatives … and now you can master it in as little as two and half days with me.

Here’s the thing, when you are in your State of Perfection you naturally are free of fear and stress that can stop you in your tracks. Instead you’ll take the action that will allow you to succeed ... in spite of obstacles you encounter along the way. In addition, you’ll have immediate access to a level of creativity that is the stuff of legends. 

There’s even evidence that accessing these kinds of states accelerates learning, increases longevity and boosts your health here and now in important ways that show up in things like your productivity and sense of wellbeing. 

Most of the people I’ve taught this skillset to attest to an immediate sense of pervasive wellbeing and a highly focused sense of directionality in their lives, that gives them a sense of calm certainty about what to be doing moment-by-moment as life shows up for them. 

What’s interesting as well to me is that after people learn to access their natural State of Perfection they show up for others as highly energized, clear about who they are and what they stand for ... they exude a palpable sense of confidence that’s unmistakable, that’s attractive and literally turns people on. 

This way of being in the world is a huge asset!

The most obvious ways this asset is present for most of the folks who have been trained by me is the way they simply don’t see the world the way others do ... they don’t perceive “problems” anymore, they don’t let anything stand in the way of them getting what they’ve put their attention on, and they seem to automatically come up with creative ways to get what they want, on their own and with others ... problems literally become opportunities!

These folks also have the unique quality of charisma that so many desire and yet have no idea how to cultivate for themselves. Yet without any apparent effort they begin drawing people to themselves and their ideas, projects and causes. We all know this kind of person, and in my experience almost everyone longs to be one of them. 

We’re talking about the kind of person that literally sizzles with a sense of purpose in their life ... a personal energy that touches and inspires those around them ... they just have "IT."

I'm Joseph Riggio, today I have the privilege to mentor, coach and consult with some of the most elite performers in the world, and I’ve been watching this effect since I was a teenager, longing for it myself. 

I always did pretty well in school, always scoring near the top of the class academically, then I went on to become an outstanding athlete, playing football, wrestling, boxing and also achieving black belt ranking in several martial arts. After school I became a partner in an architectural interiors firm that designed projects for multinational corporate clients and residences for elite clients throughout the U.S., including top executives and entrepreneurs, and some superstar entertainers and athletes.

But I still didn’t have “IT” to my satisfaction. So I left all that behind to discover the secret of what I longed for, and to make sure I did whatever it would take to have “IT” for myself.

Keeping the long story short, I found a kind of transformational magician by the name of Roye Fraser, who had developed a truly unique and potent way of helping people make exactly the shift I was looking for that he called the Generative Imprint. 

I dropped everything else, except what essential and apprenticed with him for the next seven years full time, while still doing what it took to keep myself above water ... barely. But I kept treading knowing that the payoff would eventually come if I just stayed the course. 

Well I got “IT” ... 

All the time and energy I invested in training with Roye did pay off big time for me ... 

For example, I’ve built several successful multi-million dollar business ventures, I’ve spoken before powerful groups in over thirty countries, I‘m a published author, I’ve appeared on television and radio, I earned my Ph.D. in Business Administration doing groundbreaking work on transpersonal decision-making in uncertain and chaotic environments, and I am known as the architect and designer of the internationally respected MythoSelf Process model, that I’ve trained thousands people in on every continent except Antarctica. 

I’m not sharing this to brag or puff myself up in front of you ... I’m sharing this so you can see the power of learning to access the State of Perfection at will, having the razor sharp focus, the calm confidence to take action without hesitation, and the charisma that draws other people in to want to help you achieve outcomes together ... because, believe me this all wouldn’t have happened for me if there weren’t some people who helped along the way!

It’s also about learning to use your mind creatively and strategically, bypassing what might be for others impassable obstacles but you’ll learn to see as just data to be processed and used to help you get your outcomes. 

You’ll especially appreciate the way you see and interact with other people when you access your State of Perfection, free of the anxiety, angst and anger that comes up sometimes when we’re dealing with stress or outright fear ourselves. These things simply won’t be present for you when your performing from this way of being in the world. 

Okay, so you’re probably asking what is “this way of being in the world” that you call the “State of Perfection” Joseph?

Fair question ... 

Here’s the technical, geeky, neuroscientific answer ... it’s called “transient hypofrontality” ... well, you asked!

The common name for this state is “Flow” ...

It’s what every elite performer on the planet wants and desires ... athletes, business people, artists, entertainers ... and it’s exactly what I deliver in my training, and then we go beyond it, well beyond. 

This is what people seek when they meditate for twenty years, or when they do practices like yoga. It’s also the same technology that the U.S. Navy Seals and U.S. Army Delta Force teach to their operatives. 

And, just accessing the state of Flow has been shown to improve performance and productivity by up to 500% in a ten year long study by the international consulting firm, McKinsey & Co.

Now imagine what’s possible if you took that and went further, way further than what would be possible just accessing the state of Flow ...

This is what you’ll experience virtually instantaneously when you access your natural State of Perfection, because it’s built on what’s already present in you as your birthright. 

As a species, humans demonstrate some pretty powerful qualities of mind, including self-awareness and the ability to project their thoughts into both their past and their future. When you learn to capture these capacities, and others that are also native to what it is to be human, and bring them powerfully to the present moment it’s like having a super-power available on demand.

The State of Perfection is grounded in what’s called “embodiment” ... the way you are in your whole body-mind as a singularity, or in an integrated way.

Instead of focusing on just your mind as your thoughts I’ll show you how to access and apply embodiment in your life, and link your mind to your behaviors. This is how you know yourself to be and how others come to know you too.

I like to kid around and say, “Wherever you go there you are ...” and actually I mean this literally, “Wherever you go there you are, in your body.” 

Of course you know this, you can’t leave your body behind when you’re trying to create real outcomes in the world. 

Regardless of what you’re trying to accomplish ... win an championship, become a star on stage, start a new business, run a team, sell things to clients, raise money, write a best selling book, be in a relationship, parent your children ... you need to be there doing it!

It’s important to link your mind to your behaviors, because it’s in the action you take that you create your outcomes.

The great hockey player Wayne Gretzky summed it up when he said, “You’re guaranteed to miss all the shots you don’t take.”

Learning to take the shots, and make them, is what learning to access the State of Perfection is all about.

You can't do this just by imagining it, or putting your mind on it as an idea you hold ... visualizing, meditating, manifesting, wishing, hoping, praying are all great things to do, but nothing happens until you take action!

That’s how we go way beyond the Flow state ... by linking this powerful performance state to strategy and action.

I’ll show you first how to access this state of calm, powerful confidence and creativity, then I show you precisely how to connect it to your outcomes and how to think strategically about them. 

Without patting myself on the back too much, my clients tell me that they never met someone who can guide them to thinking as strategically and clearly as I have, helping them see past what had seemed insurmountable problems they were facing. This is really just part of the “super-power” you’ll have access to as well, when you learn how to enter the State of Perfection at will. 

Beyond the calm, confidence, creativity and strategic thinking that you’ll gain, before we’re done with this intensive two and half day transformational performance training, I’ll insure you know how to focus with crystalline clarity on whatever you want, keeping the most important things up front, and how to take action immediate to begin creating the outcomes you desire. 

Then we’ll go a bit further than that by stepping into the world of interpersonal dynamics and relationships, where I’ll show you how to read other people ... their emotions and their intentions ... and how to design the perfect way to communicate with them to create mutually rewarding and collaborative success.

It won’t matter what you need or desire ...

- close a major deal with a client

- get someone to hire you for a dream job

- have investors hand you money to fund your project

- make your relationship with your significant other better than you or they imagined it could be ... 

whatever outcomes you want or need to create with others will become possible when you are communicating from your State of Perfection.

This is all on top of ...

- Experiencing up to a 500% improvement in your performance and productivity

- Massively accelerated learning and mental processing speed

- Ability to take action immediately and effortlessly

- Huge boosts in creativity and influence 

- Instant access to calm confidence

- Relief from fear and stress

- Freedom from anxiety 

If this all sounds too good to be true I could understand you’re thinking that, but all of this is based in real, proven neuroscientific research, not some hoochey-goochey, wishful thinking or meta-magical hype that someone just dreamed up while they were off smoking some hooch.

When you are accessing the Flow state you go beyond just mind games, you go deep into the body processes that account for superior decision-making and the ability to move to immediate action. You’ll be releasing a potent neurochemical cocktail that your body naturally produces when you’re at your best, comprised of the “big six” combination of neurotransmitters and hormones:

- Norepinephrine - improves your ability to perform

- Anadamide - sharpens creativity and inhibits fear

- Oxytocin - opens your emotional and social awareness

- Endorphins - relieves pain and initiates euphoria 

- Dopamine - raises your mood and increases your focus

- Serotonin - the “gut drug” mostly found in your intestines, your enteric “other” brain, that opens up the path way to the calm clarity and confidence you need to perform at the elite levels we’ve been discussing 

Remember that I told you we’ll go well beyond the Flow state when I teach you about how to access your State of Perfection at will?

There’s a downside to all of this neurochemical, hormonal bliss ... like everything, what goes up must come down. After you access the state of Flow, and your body releases all these powerful chemicals there’s the after-effect that can feel like a major let down, some folks even feel depressed when they’re not in Flow once they’ve had the experience of it. The challenge is that Flow can’t and doesn’t last forever ... but the State of Perfection is truly different.

Because it’s not just a mental state, or dependent upon accessing the unique state of Flow with it’s special properties, the State of Perfection is based in a resetting your baseline or default way of being in the world ... how you are literally moment-to-moment, day-by-day, year-after-year. This difference is based in the body-mind connection that is part of the embodiment aspect of the State of Perfection that I wrote about earlier in this letter.

Because you’re behaving and taking action in a different way when you’re in your State of Perfection, you are constantly reinforcing that way of being in the world, and sustaining it. In fact the more you do it, the easier it becomes to do it, and keep it. And, if for any reason you find yourself doing something else, anything else ... you can get right back again by using your unique body-based way of accessing the State of Perfection that I show you when we’re together, and you’ll instantly be right back again at the center, like you are when you’re at your best ... anywhere, anytime, with anyone ... or when you’re all on your own.

I’ve been a serious student of transformational performance for more than thirty years, studying as much of the neuroscientific and neurocognitive literature as I could get my hands on, and working with some of the very best people in the world teaching some of the most cutting edge material I could find ... and there’s nothing that compares with the power and potency of being able to access your natural State of Perfection. 

Some the science surrounding what happens when you enter into a state of “transient hypofrontality” has to do with parts of your brain called “lobes.” Specifically we have four lobes that brain scientists refer to, the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal lobes. Each of these lobes function differently, and working together they allow us to experience states of consciousness like we ordinarily do. 

When we enter into a state of Flow, and even more so when we enter into the embodied State of Perfection that I’ll be teaching you, the temporal lobe quiets down, becoming less active. This opens us to what is called a state of unity, the feeling of being at one with everything and everyone. This is exactly what long time meditators experience when they are in deep meditation. 

What’s so significant about this for performance is that in this state of unity, present when you are in a Flow state or in the State of Perfection, your intuition is heightened dramatically, and you begin to sense what’s about to happen in what you’ll learn is an emergent way. 

This skill is call adumbration, and it’s like being able to predict the future. When you can adumbrate with great accuracy, you’ll know how to get ahead of the curve and what to be doing before things happen.

Again, to quote Wayne Gretzky, you’ll know to go to where the puck is going to be, and not where it is now. This changes everything!

 This quality of mind is in part why you won’t experience the downturn or depression that normally follows accessing the Flow state unless you’ve been trained in how to access this particular neurocognitive state properly. Another thing that makes a huge difference to you will be how you learn to run your Autonomic Nervous System, your ANS.

I’ve been personally researching the ANS Sympathetic and Parasympathetic responses for years. The Sympathetic response is the one you have when you experience threat or stress, and it generates a flight or fight response, or in conditions of overwhelming levels of confrontation or fear full-blown shut down and freeze. The Parasympathetic response is the opposite when you experience calm confidence and creativity, and are free of stress, fear and anxiety of any kind. 

The mechanisms that regulate these responses can be hyper-trained to become more sensitive to inducing one response or the other. Specifically toning the vagus nerve that runs from your enteric brain in your gut up to your cortical brain in your head radically changes your ability to access the Parasympathetic response in the ANS.

I’ve found that one of the ways to “tone the vagus nerve” is via specific movement and breathing techniques, and that what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. I’ll help you discover the unique ways of movement that are most natural to you, and train you how you can use this to your great advantage in a special part of the program I call the Dance of the Elements. We’ll spend and entire evening going over just this one part of what you’ll be learning, more than four hours to make sure you get “IT.” 

The reason what we’ll do in this part of the training is so effective and lasting is that we’ll be reconditioning what is normally a powerful, but silent part of your cortical brain called the cerebellum, the part mostly responsible for how you move and respond to things physically. It’s the part of your brain that monitors and controls movement dynamically, and is deeply engaged in your emotional well being too.

I don’t know of another training anywhere that will teach you how to manage your cerebellar responses like the Dance of the Elements, except maybe studying the martial arts or doing something like yoga for ten or twenty years ... but we’ll get there in one evening!

Imagine bypassing a decade of two of training to get the full on effects of that amount of time studying Zen or Tai Chi ... that’s the just this one evening’s portion of the training will be like for you!

There’s just so much that we’ll be covering in this program it would require me to write a full-length book to give you all the details. However, what you can expect is remarkable shift in your personal experience and performance.

I can say all this we great confidence myself because this isn’t my first rodeo, far from it. In fact I’m so confident I’m guaranteeing it!

The MythoSelf Process, which is what everything I’ve been describing is based upon, was first developed by me in the early 1990s, and I’ve continued to update and refine it since then, teaching it worldwide to thousands of people. 

 

“I have known of Joseph for more than 13 years. However, it took about 10 years before I let him into my life at all. Over all that time he never pressured me to engage with what he has to offer. I flirted with the idea of working with him on a number of occasions … and then retreated again! This is a reflection of where I was in my life and his great acuity to see that it was for me to be ready for a meaningful engagement.

I have worked with a number of executive coaches over the years and have had mixed experiences. A common outcome was that I ended up feeling that the coach that I was working with was colluding with me and hence not supporting / pushing or enabling me to make the break throughs that I was seeking in my professional (and personal) life and self.

After a stand off of nearly 10 years I let down my guard … a little. Well, approaching 50 seemed like a good time to grow up and start enjoying all the blessings in my life. As I have got over my lack of “trust” for coaches / advisors / mentors based on self fulfilling prophecies that had repeated in my life, I let Joseph in. As I started to trust him I have found that I have had life changing experiences – in my professional, family and personal fulfilment. That does not mean that it has always been easy – and indeed I believe that is part of why I have been able to make fundamental shifts in how I am experiencing my life. In my interactions with Joseph he is relentless in his pursuit of the outcomes that I am seeking in my life – many times this is frustrating for me; at other times it is non-sensical. However, the more I trust him and the ways he works with me the more profound and transformational the changes that I am experiencing.

From trying to control everything in my life and taking things way too seriously – I am now more able to see things more for what they are – to others as well as myself – to laugh at myself and with others more, and to meet life as it unfolds.

So thank you Joseph for the ongoing gifts that you share with me and for the journey that we share."

– Hilary Samson-Barry 

 

“Joseph is a phenomenon. Being in the room with him elicits a palpable charge of excitement from his audience. I have taken several seminars with this man, and can honestly say that he has shown me a structure for how to better move through life. When one starts from the premise that anything is possible, it is easy to see how to live optimally, and to make decisions that productively impact ones business, personal life as well as general emotional state." 

– Alexandru D. Aldea

 

“If I were to think of a few words to describe Joseph Riggio, I would say miraculous, ingenious, high integrity, all around great person. The work he has done is truly amazing and quite often it has not occurred to me that I was experiencing personal growth happening until after it already happened. A recent example would be the recommendation of the book “Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink that was encouraged around a discussion of creativity. As a result, I visited lots of museums and art galleries and have developed an interest towards listening to classical music and opera. I feel like this helping me to come up with lots of creative solutions in my work. This is all the result of a brief discussion on a teleconference. Sitting in the room is a whole other level. I must say that attending Joseph’s courses and having his input/suggestions/recommendations are an invaluable part of my life.”

– Prakash Jagwani

 

“The brilliant thing about Joseph is that he masters dialog. On our own, we can all achieve better results. Become a better leader, be a better communicator or get a promotion. Better… But if you want to do different and achieve outstanding results for yourself or your organization, none of us can do it alone. We have an internal dialog that keeps the things we want most at a distance. What you want is someone who can take you through the steps of changing that internal dialog in a way that lets you bring those results from “out there” to “in here”. Someone who can help you quickly get to grips of what you need to do – or not do, to get to outstanding results. Joseph has lifted my team and I to a new level in a very short space of time. The results we are achieving now are blowing me away.”

– Erik Micheelsen

 

“Joseph Riggio could be aptly described as a mind surgeon! He is able to read all the vital signs of individuals or organisations with acuity, depth, clarity (his model for this is Soma Semantics). He will then focus with precision on “what works”. He has a unique skillset to look for potential and opportunity, even where it seemingly does not exist. And then he will act with surgical precision to bring about change and restoration….to what is an “organic” optimal state for the individual or organisation. Sheer magic!”

– Agnes Mariakaki

 

“I have trained personally with Joseph Riggio quite intensively for a few years and Joseph had opened gates I could not imagine on a personal and professional basis, bringing my business and personal life to an unexpected level of maturity. I found Roots there and Roads also to all the competencies in Coaching , Mentoring , Consulting which I see today as my key differentiaors. From the cornestone with Joseph I am able now to explore new areas and gain really form my discoveries . And it is is jus a beginning. Joseph is highly powerful and as well highly respectful, a combination which allows one self to climb mountains, Joseph is also extremely expert in his teaching and there is no day where I am not reminded of one of his teaching principles ….. and make good use of them.”

– Nadalette La Fonta-Six
