Creating a Winning Mindset with Steve Smith

Steve Smith

The North East Academy for Chief Executives‘ speaker in July was Steve Smith, UK high jump record holder and Olympic Bronze Medallist speaking on ”Creating a Winning Mindset‘

The Academy members not only gained a highly interesting and entertaining insight into the determination and planning needed to achieve Olympic standard but also how to relate such focus to business and personal life through experiential learning.

The workshop highlighted how, from a situation of failure, you can then achieve your goals through analysis of present position, to focus on end objectives and define a set of rules/ actions to achieve them to rigid timescales.

The key experiential learning points included:-

• The importance of planning and focus,
• Analysis of competition and your strengths,
• How you can win the psychological battle in competition and with competitors,
• Analysis of your own leadership skills,
• Developing an action plan to help develop your own leadership and coaching skills.

Changing The Groundhog Day

Jessica Richards was on top form when she returned to experiential business learning® group Leaders Forum 9 for the third time in 7 years.

Using her unique ‘Changing the Groundhog Day’ approach (different place, different people but the same situation again!), she helped group members achieve significant change in both their personal and professional lives.

Patterns of behaviour, which had been established as a result of situations long ago, were demonstrated to be no longer the required or desired behaviour pattern.

Members became more aware of both what they’ve been doing as well why they’d been following their behaviour patterns and this awareness has resulted in a now choice rich situation.

Jessica’s Groundhog Day is a belief changing experience, focusing on eliminating limiting beliefs which get in the way of leaders optimising their performance. Highly interactive with the added benefits of providing for everyone easily implementable relaxation processes, backed up with good supporting materials.

All members were very impressed with the refreshing and highly relaxing session.
