Win the Block

We set out to understand what enables individuals to consistently perform at extraordinary levels while feeling deeply fulfilled.

After analyzing over 6,000 scientific studies, we developed Win the Block—a transformative approach to life and work. The key lies in generating focused energy and channeling it into purpose-driven blocks—with confidence, focus, and joy—leading to extraordinary results that surpass past achievements.

Already implemented by teams across four continents, the program is helping individuals achieve remarkable improvements in both performance and fulfillment.

Who Can Benefit

Win the Block is designed to help a wide range of individuals and organizations, with the key requirement being the aspiration for extraordinary performance and results:

• C-Suite Executives: Ignite company productivity, revenues, and profits by empowering leaders to foster high-energy, high-performance cultures.
• Team Leaders: Boost vital metrics like sales, talent attraction, and retention, while fostering team performance and fulfillment.
• Individuals: Elevate performance and results in both professional and personal spheres, unlocking potential and achieving extraordinary outcomes and personal fulfillment.

The Transformational Opportunity—Elevating the Block

At its core, Win the Block focuses on creating block-by-block improvements in key drivers of productivity—energy, confidence, focus, and joy. Each block represents a specific, focused period of the day.

Research highlights three key areas for significant improvement within any given block:

1. Energy: Substantial increases in energy levels within the block, centered around your objectives and desired results.
2. Confidence: Big improvements in confidence within the block, especially in making decisions about what you (and others, as applicable) will do in the block and beyond.
3. Focus and Joy: Major enhancements in focus within the block on achieving your desired results, coupled with significantly greater enjoyment of the process.

These improvements are available to everyone, regardless of current performance levels. Block-by-block gains, even small ones, compound over time to create exponential improvements.

By systematically elevating energy, confidence, focus, and joy in each block, you’ll experience dramatic boosts in productivity and results while substantially enhancing your fulfillment and happiness.

Win the Block is powered by two key steps:

Step 1: Energize Your Results Pyramid

The Results Pyramid is a structured approach to achieving success. It consists of key components that align with your strengths, purposes, and goals:

• Win with Strengths: Harness your key strengths that energize and empower you.
• Win with Purpose: Define your purpose—your "why"—and your long-term objectives tied to it.
• Win the Quarter: Set energizing quarterly goals through structured Quarterly Visioning Sessions.
• Win the Week: Establish weekly priorities through Weekly Strategy Sessions.
• Win the Day: Set desired results for the day, broken down into blocks through Daily Focus Sessions.

Energy is the crucial differentiator. By generating exceptional energy around your strengths, purpose, and goals—long-term, medium-term, and short-term—you set the stage for success. The structured quarterly, weekly, and daily sessions lead to differentiated clarity and energy, positioning you for consistently extraordinary performance.

12 Essential Skills

The energy generated from the Results Pyramid is further amplified by mastering 12 Essential Skills, which research shows are critical for achieving extraordinary results. These skills elevate energy across three categories:

• Skills of Confidence: Conviction in Strengths, Passion for Purpose, Excitement About Goals, Determination to Win
• Skills of Focus: Enthusiastic Self-Discipline, Enthusiastic Engagement, Enthusiastic Excellence, Enthusiastic Efficiency
• Skills of Joy: Joy of Joy, Positive Energy, Love, Enjoyment of the Present

These skills are incorporated through a ‘skill of the day’ approach, keeping you energized and aligned with your Results Pyramid. Mastering these skills will elevate both your results and your happiness, forming a powerful foundation for sustained success.

Step 2: Achieve Your Results Pyramid, One Block at a Time

Next, you channel the energy from your Results Pyramid into this block—the moment you're in.

Three Core Principles—aligned with the key improvement opportunities of energy, confidence, focus, and joy—make winning this block a habit:

1. Energizing Objectives: Centered on boosting your energy within this block, this principle focuses on being clear about your desired results and feeling energized about achieving them.
2. Confident Decisions: Linked to enhancing your confidence, this involves making decisive choices about what you and others (as applicable) will do in this block and beyond.
3. Focused Action: Tied to improving your focus and joy, this principle calls for full engagement and focus within this block to achieve your desired results, while enjoying the process.

This final point is key: by fully channeling energy and focus (and even joy, as applicable) into this block, you will achieve significant gains in energy, productivity, and results. Over time, this creates a multiplying effect, driving long-term success.

As a leader, when you model this behavior, you’ll not only elevate your own performance but inspire those around you—within your teams, across your organizations, and even beyond work—empowering others to elevate their performance.

To accelerate success, Win the Block offers customizable micro-processes that fit within each block. These processes guide leadership activities like vision-setting, resource allocation, and problem-solving. They also tailor role-specific tasks across functions, from sales to HR, while addressing challenges like conflict resolution and stress management.

Win the Block Outcomes

The impact of Win the Block has been profound across organizations and teams. Leaders and teams using the system have reported significant improvements in:

• Sales production
• Talent attraction and retention
• Customer satisfaction
• Gross margins

These successes are directly linked to elevated block-by-block energy, which not only drives productivity but also boosts happiness, creating a virtuous cycle. Higher energy leads to better results, which in turn generates more energy and satisfaction.

By consistently elevating your block-by-block productivity, you can achieve transformational improvements over time. Energizing your Results Pyramid and consistently channeling this energy into each block leads to remarkable increases in both performance and fulfillment.

Conclusion

Applying the two steps—energizing your Results Pyramid and achieving it one block at a time—creates a powerful cycle of extraordinary day-to-day energy, long-term productivity, and happiness. This method helps you generate consistently exceptional outcomes in both your personal and professional life. Win the Block transforms how you live and work, energizing your journey toward extraordinary results.
