Workshop

Understand to perform

Two people get the same news on a Monday morning. One shuts down, the other gets on with it.

How the way we think shapes the way we feel and perform, and how to use that at work.

Works well for: Teams who want to perform at their best, and easily adapted for other groups
Length: From a single session to a full day
Delivery: In person or online

What people leave able to do

Understand how they respond

See how the same event can be filtered into stress or into focus, and that the response is theirs to choose.

Find their best zone

Use the pressure curve to recognise when they’re at their best and when they’re tipping over.

Use practical tools

Breathing, anchoring and constructive self-talk to get back to their best.

What happens in the session

It’s not what happens, it’s how we respond. How we filter what happens around us, and how our state follows.
Internal communication. The conversation we have with ourselves all day, and how to make it constructive.
The pressure curve. From bored to focused, to in the zone, to overwhelmed.
Where am I today? Checking in with yourself before it shows in your work.
Tools to take away. Breathing, anchoring and the feedback cycle.

Mental health and culture

For: Teams and the leaders who shape their culture

What mental health really is, how stigma gets in the way, and how to build a culture where people speak up.

Stress doesn’t have to feel stressful

For: Whole teams

What stress does to us, why some of it is useful, and simple ways to stop it overflowing.

Understanding and managing stress

For: Managers, HR and people leads

The causes of workplace stress, the signs to look for, and what an organisation can do about it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a strength coach, I look for a coach that follows their own advice,  I found that in John, he’s uplifting.

He taught me tools and exercises I could use for my mental performance and energy and guided me through them expertly.

Anyone into sports or training hard physically should defiantly see john!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m fortunate enough to be coached by John and despite him being an expert in mindset and techniques such as NLP, our sessions are always warm and flow so easily. It’s like having a chat with a good friend.

Much of our time is spent discussing mindset techniques in a business / professional context but John has also really helped me understand the link between that and my family life and the wider aspects of wellbeing.

I look forward to our session every fortnight and I’ve actually now asked John to come and coach myself and the wider leadership team in my business.

It’s said of coaching, that it’s an investment in ourselves but I don’t think we always understand fully just how important  that investment actually is.

I can’t thank you enough, John, for the incredible support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve got to know John both professionally and personally over the last 3 years. He’s one of the most genuine, humble and kindest men around. During the course of the last year I asked him to help my teenage son with his mindset and confidence. My lad loves the sessions and we’ll keep doing them for as long as we can and need them. Thank you, John.

As a trainer he is engaging, knowledgeable and approachable, putting the needs of the delegates first. I’d have no issue at all recommending/referring John and often do. 👍🏻

He is down to earth, professional and empathetic to all situations and emotions. He has made an amazing difference to all their lives and their outlook and given them the confidence to be themselves. He teaches them coping mechanisms which are invaluable and stay with them. He also checks up on all his clients even after sessions are finished. He is our 1st go to when we have a loved ones that need support. And would recommend him to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cant recommend John highly enough, we met through our Charity Best Mates and have passed multiple beneficiaries his way to help them get their lives back on track. John is extremely friendly and approachable but more importantly he is the complete professional.  He also took us through our level 1 Mental Health First Aid Training so if you are looking to do this in business or personal, again, dont hesitate to contact him.

All the best John, thanks for doing what you do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John has been invaluable in supporting both individuals needing mental health guidance and our squads with goal setting and performance. His expertise and approach make a real impact, whether in group sessions or one-to-one. During the pandemic, he led a fantastic programme that reached all our senior and junior squads, providing vital support at a crucial time. Players always respond brilliantly to John, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with John has been an incredible experience. Before I started with him, I struggled with staying motivated to exercise and was constantly overthinking. From our very first session, John helped me shift my mindset, break free from limiting beliefs surrounding my new job, and build habits that actually work for me. Even going for a walk on one session.
John’s approach is both practical and insightful. He took the time to understand my personal challenges and provided strategies that were tailored to my needs. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve not only become more consistent with exercise but also learned how to manage my thoughts in a way that helps me move forward rather than holding me back.
One of the biggest transformations I’ve experienced is learning to silence my inner critic and take action without overanalyzing everything. John’s support and encouragement have given me the confidence to trust myself more. His coaching has made a big impact on my life, and I’m so grateful for his support!
