Mindset & Emotional Training

For Founders & their Teams

According to Fortune magazine, 30% of startups fail - not because of cash flow, poor products or flaws in strategy - but due to the emotional state of their founders (13% due to loss of focus, 9% due to loss of passion, and 8% due to founder burnout).

Equally as alarming, McKinsey Health Institute suggests that Employee Burnout & disengagement is at the highest it’s ever been!

Trying to run successful teams from a state of depletion, burnout and overwhelm is about as functional as trying to drive a car with an empty tank.

It’s time to refuel and reset for results!

The Flow & Focus Principle

Have you noticed that even when people know what the next step should be, they don’t take it?

We help teams tap into the emotional and mental resources they need to move through these roadblocks so that they can step up and implement what they (almost always) already know they need to implement.

What tends to happen is that when you are working from a space of alignment, when head and heart are moving in the same direction - or to put it scientifically, the unconscious and conscious mind are working together - professionals are better able to hone their Focus and step into Flow. 

From a space of deep flow and consistent and intentional focus people unlock their Genius Zone - and that can only mean good thinks for Business!

As human beings, our default programming is set to avoid risk, uncertainty and pain. Successful entrepreneurs must re-train their mindset and emotional-set to rise above the default.

“Just as your car runs smoothly and requires less energy and moves faster, when the wheels are in perfect alignment, YOU perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals and values are in balance”
