For everyone happiness is essential for high performance. But how exactly does it work? This article analyzes happiness at work according to the theory of flow of the psychologist Mih\u00e1ly Cs\u00edkszentmih\u00e1lyi. He characterizes flow as a mental state in which a person is completely absorbed in his or her activities. Peaking with your passion, ultimate job satisfaction. You also see this in athletes.

But\u2026 you also need an environment in which that is valued or encouraged. So that you are not the only one who wants to get the most out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to get started with the whole team? Then it is essential that your manager also wants to go for it. It can then be smart to bring in a team coach who will ensure that there is sufficient focus on job satisfaction, that everyone wants to learn and that a winning spirit is created. No manager is ideal. If he or she is mainly interested in hard targets, then bring in a people-oriented coach. If you have a team leader who gives a lot of personal attention, bring in a performance-oriented coach. In the end it's all about a nice balance.<\/p>\n<p>Are people in your work environment not waiting for someone with your qualities and ambition? Then go away. It makes no sense to hire a coach. At most, to analyze together what you want exactly. So you can use that in your next step.<\/p>\n<p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/en\/#academy\">A*Life Academy<\/a>\u00a0for a workshop, coaching or teambuilding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

He has been involved in job satisfaction, growth and innovation all his life. After a career in marketing &amp; training, he started his own business in 1999, with individual coaching, teambuilding, live assessments and large-scale change processes. In 2005 he founded the Flow Academy together with Max Wildschut, in which they certified coaches as official flow coaches.<\/p>\n<p>Why is Harold such a fan of flow? It's practical, to-the-point and personal. Ideal for any manager to use as an instrument when coaching your team. It's about the person &amp; about the performance and the goal is very simple: happiness for everyone and scoring together!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1068 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-80x80.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.a-life.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HenH.png 457w\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
