Dr. Peter Rea is captivating. So captivating, in fact, that we wanted to share a Q&A we did with him a short while ago. This is the first part of a series that comprises the full interview. He brings many insights from a long career studying and applying matters of integrity and ethics, particularly on the millennia-old classical virtues of Trust, Compassion, Courage, Justice, Wisdom, Temperance and Hope, and how they shape character. Read on for more on what the seven virtues can teach us about life, character, business and parenting.

The Liminal Collective team, in collaboration with Collective contributors Preston Cline, Sue Phillips and Peter Rea, has taken the opportunity to share insights from ancient wisdom to shed some light on our current situation under the Covid-19 global pandemic. Our ancestors used rituals, such as rites of passage, to find belonging and purpose in times of uncertainty and large transition. Because that’s what the pandemic is: a liminal experience, where we are between who we were and who we are to become, as a society. This is the third, and last, in a series of articles on the topic.

We have been humbled to take part in multiple conversations with frontline medical staff, discussing the challenges of battling this growing pandemic. Our conversations have illuminated an often overlooked factor of high performance: behind any great team are great processes. Whether you’re practicing medicine or working remotely for your business, the insights are the same, strong processes get the best from teams and support in challenging times. Just focus on three areas: Cadence, Culture and Reflection.

An editorial from Liminal Collective's Coleman Ruiz, casting insight on life at home during the coronavirus pandemic through the lens of what it's like on deployment. In his words: "Trust me, if anyone is empathetic to how you are feeling it is me, and us (veterans)." Accept that you're "on deployment" and act accordingly. Build your work and personal rhythms around this new reality. You can do this!

Reflecting upon recent days and our new realities in this global upheaval, we at Liminal Collective believe there can be an upside to this precarious situation. In fact, focusing on the opportunity of this moment can actually reveal some great hidden strengths for both you and your teams. Over our many years supporting remote teams working in highly unpredictable and uncertain environments, we have developed some tools to help improve your remote working. These tools are designed to help your humans to be more of what they already are...human.

We're sometimes in the news. And while we don't like to blow our own trumpet, we do want to show our gratitude to those we work with.

Why not try out the Liminal Collective team's top picks? As a group of world-class human performance experts who work with elite performers around the world, we keep on top of what's important and what's not. Here are the top Liminal Picks for this week. They're short to read, but will hopefully provoke long thought.

Liminal Collective has been fortunate to partner with the U.S. Ski & Snowboard team on several occasions. They are an extraordinarily talented group of individuals. The preparation that goes into positioning an athlete for Olympic gold is a huge team effort. So we thought we’d share some of what we've learned with them about building strong team environments and a common culture that breeds excellence. This is known as “teaming”.

We partnered with KPMG High Growth Ventures (HGV) to guide their teams through a three-day discovery program. The aim was to apply human performance principles to build better individuals, teams and companies. In short: to do better business. ‍We met and worked with so many cool people: leaders and partners from KPMG HGV, their enterprise members, and founders from the start-ups they work to supercharge. You don't need to be an astronaut, jazz saxophonist or Olympic athlete to push boundaries in performance and benefit from techniques designed to maximize human potential.

We love the esports and gaming communities and were delighted to be invited to the Science of Gaming Summit 2019. Liminal Collective did its part: Hoby Darling shared the stage with Parth Naidu, GM of esports team TSM, and Logitech's director of strategy & innovation, Vincent Tucker. Together they discussed elite performance for esports athletes.

Snow is in the air in Utah's Park City, which reminded us of a cool session Liminal Collective's Andy Walshe and Hoby Darling ran there last year with a diverse group of Jaybird athletes.

Logitech, Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Liminal Collective team hosted a Meeting Moonshot, aimed to improve the daily experience of the millions of people who gather to collaborate and be productive, yet who often discover more pernicious outcomes.

Christopher Lortie, Jamie Parker and Liminal Collective’s Hoby Darling and Andy Walshe have studied the metadata behind the science of running, and boiled it down into ten simple rules, simply expressed. Lace up.
