The Hidden Power Drivers of Peak Performers with Dr. Fern Kazlow #WomenWILL008

Have you ever doubted your strength and ability to perform at your best? What was hindering you from operating and thriving?
Nowadays, many people are giving themselves less value and worth as someone who can do better than the average. Often, we are not taking full authority to achieve their greatness.

Dr. Fern Kazlow is a New York licensed clinical psychotherapist, speaker, author, business, marketing, branding consultant/strategist, and mentor to high performers. She has been a leader in integrative, holistic approaches to business and mind-body health since the mid-1970s. In 1981, she founded Integrative Therapy and Integrative Action. She later opened one of the first holistic centers in New York City. Her center's growth was due to her unique approach to health, healing, and personal and business growth. This approach teaches individuals how to consciously create the life they want instead of being limited by what others – or they – currently see as possible. It ultimately evolved into what is today known as The Kazlow Method.

In this episode, Dr. Kazlow and Laura talk about the hidden power drivers of peak performers. Dr. Kazlow will impart her knowledge of expertise regarding peak performance, high performance, and peak potential and what it takes to unleash and master our full potential as individuals with a different line of intelligence.
"Knowing what peak performance looks like for you would be tied to knowing what success looks like for you in your particular industry or field."
