THE PROCESS
The process undertaken for Performance Coaching commences with the 12 Week Course. The 12 week's of skills development, provides the foundational concepts and common understanding to allow commencement of the Performance Coaching aspect. The course concepts and the related homework activities, in combination, provide both the theory and developed skillsets, to move into a flow state and thereby provide the required attributes and environment to deliver a winning performance. The process additionally defines clear and aligned short and long term objectives.
Following completion of the course (and completely optional), is the ongoing Performance Coaching process, where we work toward fulfilling the defined objectives while developing more advanced skills, through guided visualisation/hypnosis, such as Ideomotor Training and Ideomotor Triggers. The Performance Coaching is managed through a personalised score card and optimally occurs via fortnightly meetings (however can occur monthly if preferred/required).
MY BACKGROUND
I have recently completed a very successful 25 Year Career in Corporate Consulting, predominantly working for Avanade Australia over this time and most recently with Pwc Australia. I have worked in numerous roles including Chief Technology Officer and Business Development Executive, totalling in excess of $160m in sales for services.
In 2017, my passion for Personal Development and Human Performance led me to embark on numerous courses within the area of Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP). Similarly, my interest in developing a performance mindset, combined with a lifetime of dedication to a number of martial arts, provided me a unique insight into the importance of mental coaching for fighters which subsequently resulted in me founding 'Forging Minds'.
​
After some great successes in this area, I realised the applicability of the approach was broader. I have taken the learnings and proven techniques developed with the fighters, and applied them more broadly to assist people from all endeavours on how to develop and apply the winning mental strategies, mental resilience and retaining a positive perspective that are all required to live an extraordinary life.
