iminal Collective was founded with the mission to help humans become better at what they do by tapping into a desire to exceed limitations and break new barriers. Understanding what it takes to be the best version of yourself applying it to your craft offers endless possibilities.
There are so many different levels where this can take root. As an organization, we like to explore. We thrive on creating diverse journeys, where we constantly evolve, meet, learn and educate, like the hero's journey in which the main mission is to optimize human performance in a high performance environment. We are a very eclectic and diverse group with a range of backgrounds from acrobatics and sport to military and business leadership and our process can be applied across a wide array of disciplines.
Optimizing performance
Optimization starts with creating environments that enhance performance. Whether you’re leading a team of executives or preparing for an ultramarathon, our process allows people to better understand their performance ability and learn more about themselves so they can continue to work towards their goals. Our approach is to constantly shift from learning to educating and then deriving insights that help inspire and push forward.
We at Liminal Collective believe in the power of cognitive diversity, and working with bias towards action to explore the edges of what we believe to be possible. We never shy away from a project that’s considered impossible by conventional wisdom. We challenge ourselves to explore the uncomfortable and to get inspired to learn more and create a sense of curiosity. This process allows us to flex, adapt, pivot, learn and grow.
Our principles are not complex or complicated, they are built on essentials. The challenge is that not everyone has access to these insights. We hope to change this by democratizing the information and creating a path forward for anyone looking to push themselves into better human performance.
Under pressure
The first step in understanding what you are capable of and applying yourself towards your craft is a deep understanding of the self—how you’re performing the present moment, your mindset, your spiritual state. We believe in using this as a jumping off point on the journey to improvement. Next we apply a little heat to the equation and add pressure, because we've shown over the years that when you ask someone who they are and what they like and what they stand for in a nice, calm, quiet, relaxed environment you'll get a good answer. But then when you make things a little difficult with a lack of sleep or being hungry and you are a little threatened, the real you comes through. There's never any judgment around that. These experiences help you better understand your honest self.
If you can become truly aware of the present and navigate the challenges presented, then you develop skills to navigate that space.
Creativity really brings out and redefines people’s vulnerabilities and encourages us to take risks in new and different ways. These visceral experiences can help you build from where you are at. By working through these obstacles in training, Liminal Collective hopes to create an environment of trust, authenticity and transparency where we can be compassionate and vulnerable with each other. We're always thinking about helping our teammates going through a hard time or a difficult time and helping them persevere.
Ancient wisdom
We think of teamwork as learning from your elders. The reason why it's such a powerful collective is because it's based on community values versus a set of network principles. In today’s technological world, we are losing touch with humanity’s pathway. We are losing touch with nature and the foundational element of learning from our elders.
We think that nature, elders and ancient principles are key to carving a pathway forward and allowing us to push our boundaries. Liminal Collective aims to tap into this ancient wisdom and the learnings and insights from our collective experiences to empower you to reach your full potential.
