You may think that top performers in their respective fields are born with natural talent. In a way this is true, but we are all born with the same natural talents, all things being equal. Many have been encouraged from a very young age by parents or others to develop a passion for their discipline. They are encouraged to believe they can be top performers and develop mental strategies, motivation and confidence to support them. Largely this remains unconcious, embedded in their neurology.
Even if you didn't start young, you are capable of developing similar mental strategies, attitudes and behaviours that are used by top performers, to greatly improve your performance and develop a winning attitude. The techniques and approaches used to support your journey to excellence are comprehensive and simple to use and tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you aspire to become a champion or master in your field, or if you are simply stuck in a rut and want to improve your performance to a higher level, coaching provides you with the right tools and resources for the job.

Coaching you to use
LifeChanges techniques provides a rich and comprehensive toolbox giving you the resources needed to take you on your journey to excellence in your chosen field or discipline.
Pathways to excellence will depend on the level of change or support you need or desire to reach peak performance. You will be provided with instructions and coaching in the methods and techniques used during sessions so that you can apply them anytime you choose to change goals or set up new ones. A few examples are provided below for illustration, but the list is not exhaustive.
Setting Goals and Outcomes
Setting goals and being able to measure your progress towards achieving that goal is very important when driving for peak performance. During the session the concept of SMART goals will be explained and you will be coached on how to set up your goal with a supporting action plan. This process will highlight what resources you need to support you on your journey and identify possible blocks that may jepoardise your progress.
Once your goal and action plan is established the next step places it on your timeline to create a 'memory' in the future. This primes your mind and motivates you towards achieving your goal. A timeline is simply a mental representation of a line connecting your past, present and future.
All of this comes with a caveat. For example, you cannot strive to be excellent golfer unless you are prepared to acquire the resources and capabilities to enable it. This is true for any discipline you set goals for.
Aligning Values and Beliefs
To achieve you goal it is necessary that your values and beliefs are aligned (congruent) with it. If they are incongruent they will block progress and jepordise your efforts to achieve your goal. Limiting beliefs and values will be identified and replaced by positive ones to ensure they are aligned with your planned goal.
Building Confidence and Motivation
For those lacking in confidence and motivation, techniques are used to develop and anchor them for future use. Anchors are simply triggers or cues that when activated trigger the desired mental states. Anchors can be set for other mental states including joyousness, relaxation and humour, for example.
Developing Attitude for Success
Your attitude is critical to success or failure. Attitude can put you at Cause or Effect for how you live your life and behave. This is a choice you make! Being at cause creates conditions for success. Being at effect creates conditions for failure. Being at cause empowers you to move out of your comfort zone and take action to succeed. Being at effect disempowers you by putting your destiny in the hands of others or circumstances, and gives you excuses or reasons not to act. Being at effect deprives you of the power to change. I.e. Cause -v- Effect = Results -v- Reasons
During sessions, clients are coached to develop the necessary attitudes to put themselves at cause. In addition, they are also shown how to use their inner resources and develop strategies to support them on the journey to excellence.
