Workshop

Goal setting and performance

Every year starts with goals. By spring, most of them have quietly drifted.

Goals that are properly formed, broken into steps and followed through.

Works well for
Individuals and teams, 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

Set goals that are properly formed

Use the five-part check: positive, right for you, specific, evidenced and in your control.

Turn big goals into steps

Break a goal down, track progress and adjust without losing heart.

Stay motivated

Use visualisation, affirmations and celebration to keep going and set the next goal.

What happens in the session

Most goals aren’t achieved because they’re not formed properly. This workshop fixes that.

  • What do I want? Short-term and long-term goals.
  • Well-formed outcomes. What do I want, why will it be good for me, when, how will I know, and is it in my control?
  • Motivation and self-belief. Why believing you can matters.
  • Steps to success. Breaking it down and tracking progress.
  • Make it visual. Visualisation, affirmations and, in longer sessions, a vision board.
  • Celebrate, then go again. Recognising achievements and setting the next challenge.

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!

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.

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.

John at JL Mindset is extremely passionate about the topics that he delivers. 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. 👍🏻

We have trusted John with our clients, staff and family for different needs. 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.

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.

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!

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!
