Performance Improvement

Do you get the feeling that you're not quite achieving your true potential?

Particularly in sporting endeavours, you train hard, you give 110% and you have the best equipment that you can afford, yet you still can't quite 'make it happen' the way you want.

Face it, if it was just down to being fit and giving maximum effort, the person with the most stamina would probably win or the person with the best equipment would always win.

"Ah, but what about ability, surely that's the key?" I hear you say. Well, yes, you have to have ability to achieve just about anything successfully, and ability is something that can be developed and practised. As Gary Player is reputed to have said, "The more I practise, the luckier I get." The trick is to practise the right things the right way. See the quote from Stevie Wonder in the footer of this page.

This same principle applies to other areas of life, whether it’s giving speeches, presentations, or just an important social occasion.

The game is usually won in the mind. As Henry Ford said, "Whether you believe you can or you believe you can't, you're probably right."

It's amazing how many of us berate ourselves for making mistakes and talk to ourselves saying things we would not put up with from someone else and would almost certainly brand as being unhelpful. We're programming ourselves for future failure, because as soon as we recognise the 'failure pattern' we set in motion the self-fulfilling prophecy. We can be very adept at self-hypnosis - the negative kind!

The good news is that this can be changed. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a very effective tool for improving performance and can be delivered very effectively through hypnosis and self-hypnosis.

So if you want to improve your golf swing or deliver that speech at a forthcoming wedding, why not give me a call to see how we can help. But remember, as that star of the Chicago Bulls Basketball team,Michael Jordan said,

"You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them."

"We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it." Stevie Wonder
