Does time influence you or do you influence time? . In this episode, Greg and I unravel the complexities of how we perceive time and how it shapes our experiences, decisions, and behaviors. Drawing from ancient Greek philosophies, we distinguish between Kronos (quantitative, chronological time) and Kairos (qualitative, experiential time), setting the stage for a deep exploration of how these concepts play out in our daily lives. . During the episode we discuss things like the emotional influence on time perception, how attention affects our perception of time, how memory and aging has an influence on time, and we give some practical examples on how we can manipulate our perception of time in order to give ourselves the gift of time and distance! . So sit back, relax, and get ready to expand your understanding of time—not just as numbers on a clock, but as a profound element that influences every facet of human behavior. . #time #perception #humanbehavior #anxiety #podcast #humanbehaviorpodcast #arcadia #cognerati

Want to increase your tactical performance? Focus on these elements… . In our recent podcast episode with Dr. Joan Johnson, we explored the keys to building high-performing teams—especially under pressure. One standout concept from the conversation was the 4 Dimensions of Teamwork—a framework that every leader and team member can benefit from. Here’s a quick breakdown: . 🔹 1. Information Exchange
Great teams prioritize clear and timely communication. Sharing relevant information at the right time keeps everyone aligned and focused on the same goals, especially when the pressure is on. . 🔹 2. Supporting Behavior
Teamwork isn’t just about individual performance; it’s about lifting each other up. High-performing teams jump in to help when needed, ensuring no one is left behind, even if the task isn’t part of their “job description.” . 🔹 3. Communication
Effective teams use purposeful, concise communication. This means avoiding both under- and over-communicating. The key is ensuring the right information gets to the right people, fast. . 🔹 4. Initiative/Leadership
Leadership isn’t just for the “leaders.” In high-functioning teams, everyone steps up when needed, taking initiative and making decisions when the situation calls for it. Incorporating these four dimensions into your daily workflow can transform your team’s performance, especially in high-stakes or high-stress situations. .
