Flow states and ‘peak’ performance experiences are temporary.
The Stabilized Flow method gives leaders access to persistent flow in all areas of life, at all times.
We are facing a crisis of distraction, disconnection and burnout in the business world, brought about by information overload, isolation and unrealistic “hustle culture”.
The old model of 24/7 work and burning the midnight oil is quietly and quickly burning out our leaders. The culture of “killing it” is killing us.
The addiction to stress and adrenaline, reinforced by the dopamine rewards of achievement, is a trap. This deep-rooted pattern locks into our nervous system and becomes our default mode until we burn out.
What’s missing is the calm, ease and focus that we see in high-performance athletes who master their craft.
What if you could generate this flow state not just in a single task or skill, but rather master it in all areas of your life, maintaining it from task-to-task and day-to-day?
The disconnect between work-life balance coupled with the rapidly increasing complexities of the world, leaves most executives, leaders and entrepreneurs secretly unfulfilled.
Stretching yourself too thin
with task overload
Making rash, impulsive decisions
Losing connection to meaning
and purpose
Driving yourself to burnout and
feeling the toll physically
Feeling like it’s not worth it
Forgetful, irritable,
and distracted
Pushing yourself to achieve
company goals, while cutting corners
on your personal health
Pretending everything is great,
but behind closed doors,
experiencing existential anxiety
Losing sight of the impact of what
you’re doing, and even forgetting
why you started doing it in the first place
This is all too common among high-achievers and leaders of all types who are experiencing dire consequences to their health, relationships and quality of life.
These are the tell-tales signs of ordinary leadership that lacks training. Resulting in…a new leadership challenge, to shift from ordinary leadership to extraordinary leadership, because…
The world has changed, so the way we lead must change too.
There is a solution to the new leadership challenge. It’s called…
Hi, I’m Lindsay Briner. In my 10+ years of academic research and thousands of hours of 1:1 client work with CEO’s, professional athletes, celebrities, and investors, I have discovered that flow states do not need to be temporary experiences.
My novel contribution to the area of performance and motivation, Stabilized Flow, is when a state becomes a trait. This unique method resolves these all too common dysfunctions and removes the risks of ordinary leadership approaches.
I am a research scientist, leadership development trainer and executive coach offering a novel synthesis of best practices from cognitive neuroscience, transpersonal psychology, neurobiology of peak performance, sports psychology and meditation.
I teach my Stabilized Flow method to individuals, groups, and business teams. It is my greatest joy to guide people to unlock their highest potential, to achieve persistent inner peace, to generate peak performance and to sustain their wellbeing.
From a Temporary STATE to Persistent TRAIT
Flow state is…
You’ve probably heard of “flow states”… and they’ve always been represented as “peak experiences”.
This is where the focus of traditional high performance leadership development is today. To train people to be at their best for their sales pitch, product delivery, or board meeting presentation. It’s a game-time mentality, where you can access flow on-demand in short-term bursts.
Flow state is when you are fully present with the task at hand, where the self-critique of the narrative mind totally deactivates. The state of Flow refers to temporary moments of rapt attention and absorption, when you are fully focused on the task at hand – a concentration cruise control.
As a high performer, you might know that flow state has been named a leading 21st century necessary skill.
Why are flow states insufficient for leadership today?
While these flow states of “peak experience” are indeed wonderful… they’re always transitory…this type of temporary “high” experience is simply not relevant to the demands of the busy entrepreneurial workplace. It adds to the ups and downs of stress and adrenaline.
You need flow states that last all day, allowing you to get your work done without distraction, stress and panic, from task-to-task and day-to-day. A type of flow that actually protects and optimizes your nervous system, rather than dimmish it. That’s why you need stabilized flow.
Stabilized Flow is… a persistent TRAIT. A permanent state of optimal performance.
By targeting patterns of the stress response, we can atrophy networks in the brain that sabotage performance. Then generating new neural pathways intentionally aimed to upregulate structures of the brain to sustain the experience flow states, harnessing a permanent flow trait.
Stabilized flow is a learned pathway in the brain. You can hardwire this pathway with precision of applied neuroplasticity techniques.
Through the Stabilized Flow method, you out of your usual narrative-mind neural networks of fear, doubt, disbelief and into automated neural networks of a new happiness set-point for continuous laser-like focus and purpose-driven motivation.
Heightened attentiveness for
deep focus / undistracted
Unshakable calm with mental Clarity
Creative complex problem solving
Skillful sense-making in the face
of misinformation
Skillful decision-making
Innovative insight
High EQ
Unlocked hidden gifts or
capacities spontaneously
Minimal irritability / reactivity
A sense of ongoing effortlessness
Fundamental wellbeing
Deeper connection to purpose
and meaning
Eastern gurus and yogis have achieved these states… but they’ve been wrapped in layers of religious practice and pseudo-claims. This research-backed methodology is easy to learn and doesn’t require you to sit in a cave or monastery. You do not need regular fancy retreats away from ordinary life.
It is about targeting the underpinnings of motivation through a neuroscientific lens to reach the bonus levels of the human experience.
“She has shown me how to unlock things that I’ve been searching for and have been locked up inside of me for a very long time. I have been in constant search for things that took me out of the flow and out of my element, so being able to unlock those things has lead me to a state of stabilized flow allowing me to achieve things that I have never thought were possible.”
“Lindsay led two Flow Mindset workshops and meditations at our founder’s retreat this year. She taught easy to understand methods of how to reach and maintain peak performance. It was especially interesting to learn how meditation can be used to enhance flow states. Lindsay was a great teacher and brought a lot of fun knowledge to the event.”
“I hired Lindsay Briner to be a speaker for my YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) Forum during a retreat focused on wellness. Lindsay immediately made the group feel comfortable and helped us understand Flow State and described some meditative practices we could use to achieve this state.
The group was composed of primarily male business executives and it’s a testament to Lindsay that they were all able to relate so well to her and that she explained the science behind the practices that she taught us. The highlight for us was the guided meditation that she led us through. We are all looking forward to continuing our work with her!”
“I had the chance to try Lindsay’s guided meditations and Flow Mindset exercises during a retreat organized by our lead investor. It was a great experience; it was the first time I managed to feel comfortable meditating. Lindsay’s guided session and tips were super helpful in grasping how to engage with the meditation practices, which are usually very hard for me as I tend to have millions of thoughts in my head. Thanks to Lindsay’s sessions, now I have some essential tools to continue working on my meditation game. An immediate effect has been calming my thoughts before going to bed improving my sleep routine.”
“I highly recommend working with Lindsay Briner. She represents a high integrity, highly trained and credentialed cornerstone of performance coaching and data-centric meditation training.”
“Lindsay’s training focused on what showing up our best selves can look like as leaders. Understanding that we construct our sense of self in how we relate to other people around us out of what we lacked as children. She says “We are all traumatized, little kids trying to get our needs met…”. What was immensely valuable was how the more aware we become of our attachment style, coping mechanisms and motivating factors — the more we can reverse engineer a path toward stabilized flow into all times and all situations — one practice at a time.”
“Being an experienced self explorer that have done Vipassana, read all the books and done many courses, I still found Lindsay’s workshop enlightening and a breath of fresh air. The training helped me understand and mentally note my different states of consciousness as I am going about my day. It also helped bring new understanding and awareness to how I relate to my family and myself, which was eye opening.
Lastly, the meditation at the end was super effective. Lindsay has a unique gentle voice that weaves beautifully together with empowering lanquage – this combination of feeding my analytical mind and my bidily knowing left me uplifted. I am intrigued with what other gifts Lindsay has to share with us in the future…”
“Before I started working with Lindsay, I found to cut through my mental chatter and get into a state of stabilized flow. After working with Lindsay for a few months, I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in not only my ability to be present and get things done, but also in my ability to be present with friends, loved ones, colleagues, and anybody else I interact with. I’d highly recommend everybody work on improving their ability to access stabilized flow.”
“I met Lindsay while she was teaching workshops at retreats organized by our investors, where I and my co-founders took her workshop on peak performance and flow mindset. As well as her guided meditations. Lindsay helped us achieve easier flow, and improve my focus and performance in life. In fact, we took away so much from the experience that we asked Lindsay to train our whole company.”
“Lindsay’s work with me went beyond my expectations… My new meditation practice has helped me to go to the next level at work… I manage my personal life much better and opportunities that were no where in my future have been coming to me really quickly since I’ve started working with her; which must be because I am functioning in a stabilized flow and being more aware. What she teaches you is so powerful yet so subtle the small daily commitment provides a phenomenal return. I’m with her for life.”
“Lindsay’s teaching really dissolved my identity constructs to get me into flow… If you are looking to get into a stabilized flow, relinquish limiting beliefs, and enjoy the journey and process in a fun, abundant and joyful way. I highly recommend this program. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Lindsay.”
“I highly recommend her program. Working with Lindsay I found there to be a unique formula in which you experience deeper meditation benefits and let go of your limiting belief systems, which unlocks your true potential.”
“Lindsay took me to the next level, after learning the basics she taught me the more advanced techniques…Working with Lindsay was a big step up in my journey. She helped me grapple with the nuances of deep meditation. I highly recommend working with her because she is well trained in the lineages as well as modern neuroscience. She has some of the best capabilities and tools that our world currently has to offer.”
“I have had significant experiences through the guided meditations, exercise, and resources that have taught me how to achieve and maintain stabilized flow. This has shaped a path forward for me in a way that feels more achievable and more in alignment with my innate sense of purpose I highly recommend participating with Lindsay; she is incredible…”
“In this course, I applied the teachings and meditations to my personal life which has improved my business is such incredible positive ways. Stabilized Flow has been the most incredible gift I have ever received. Working with Lindsay is beyond words. She is truly a master.”
When I started working with Lindsay, I had enough self-awareness to know I had some deep-seated limiting beliefs preventing me from being fully present in and out of work, but I could not address them on my own. Lindsay has kindly guided my development using her Stabilized Flow formula. Over the last year, I’ve learned to be more emotionally aware, significantly deepened my meditation practice, and reduced or dismantled many of my limiting beliefs. My partner, friends, and peers have all noticed my keel being more even, despite living through unusually stressful times, and I am the most present I’ve ever been. I wish I’d learned these practices much early!
“Lindsay’s care for me has elevated my own notion of value and self worth at the core of my being. She helped me emotionally through the most difficult parts of my company’s history. Lindsay knows more about meditation practices than any human I know, and holds the practices in her own personal life to be one of the best examples I have ever seen at the intersection of compassion / care + unfuckwithableness.”
“Having grown up as a competitor, to eventually becoming a professional athlete in my 20’s, I was well practiced at visualization techniques and effectively moving my mind into a state of flow – to optimize performance for short durations of time. However, it had not occurred to me that I could use similar techniques to get into a continuous and ever-present state of flow in my role as a startup CEO to make a positive impact on me and my team’s performance. Lindsay not only has a philosophy that’s easy to understand, but also teaches through an iterative process that assimilates flow into every moment of the day.”
“Founder ability and founder growth are the biggest drivers of startup success. Lindsay helps you get out of your own way to focus on growing and scaling yourself so you can grow and scale your company.”

Leaders of the future are ones who have adapted with super-human levels of resilience to our ever-changing world, which require new 21st century skills.
We are living through the convergence of several mega-trends that have finally “tipped”… such as AI, climate, macro-economic uncertainty, and the emergence of a new multipolar political world.
Do you want to live through these massive shifts and uncertainties reactively… with stress and anxiety… following old models of leadership and “stress reduction” that no longer work?
Or do you want to rise to meet and overcome these challenges proactively… charting your own course and shaping your own narrative with ease, focus, energy and calm?
Will you rise to meet the challenge and define a new standard of performance excellence?
You see, Csikzentmihalyi in the original research on flow states said there are two aspects of performance excellence; the ordinary mind which is scattered and bounces from one thing to another. Overstimulated and distracted. The other is the extraordinary mind; a “unity in action” where ‘Flow’ implies an orderly unfolding. Deep focus. The more you pay attention, the more orderly the mind unfolds.
As my incredible late teacher, Dr. Daniel P. Brown from Harvard University, pointed out to me – the Buddhists texts translate a similar metaphor of a stream entering the mind, like the main channel of a river; an orderly unfolding of consciousness. You do not have to enter or leave the stream, you can stay in that stream more and more continuously.
So the more organized your mind is, the more organized your performance is. With our understanding of the power of neuroplasticity, we know that higher adult development never ends.
Lindsay Briner,
Stabilized Flow Leadership Solutions founder
“Lindsay’s understanding of neuroscience and consciousness makes for fascinating consulting work with technology. Unraveling the mysteries of brain, mind, and consciousness and how to apply it in a practical way to help people is clearly Lindsay’s passion and expertise.”
“Lindsay is truly a master at helping people have deep and transformational changes, and has the remarkable ability of helping them raise their conscious awareness while going to their next level of success. She has a unique gift for bringing out the very best in the individuals and businesses she works with, and is really good at what she does!”
“Lindsay is personally a delight to work with. Her study in the field of transformational technologies, along with enough philosophy and science in the relevant domains to engage in synthesizing work, combined with her experience with psycho-spiritual processes, gives her a unique background as a consultant and a practitioner.”
“As a creative professional, father, husband and leader – being out of flow is not a luxury I can afford. The decisions I make affect people, and the work I produce simply must perform. I also want to come home knowing I have enough left in the tank for my family and personal wellbeing. Working with Lindsay has allowed me to know with certainty, that I can both access and sustain the highest level of cognitive performance I am capable of. The peace of mind that gives me is truly priceless, because it gives me the confidence to aim bigger and bolder. Her methods are totally unlike any other form of leadership of high performance training (I have been through a lot), and she is constantly pushing the envelope in her field, to give me the edge in mine.”
