Glossary of Terms

F

Flow

We use the word “flow” to describe ease, genuine connection between two or more parts, and the flow of strength.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes a “flow state” as a singular state of flow in which someone can lose track of time in empowered concentration. 

Flow, in the way we talk about it, is more fluid: Dynamic flow of strength coming out of a grounded and connected center.

We are also big fans of the singular state of flow experience – and believe some convergence of our top CliftonStrengths provides direction in attaining it.
