Kathmandu - who do you think you are?
So, there I am.
In Kathmandu, about to meet the head of the Olympic Committee in Nepal and begin working with thier coaches on mental coaching techniques using NLP. What a wonderful day, the commencement of something really progressive in that all approaches work together as I am working along side thier sport psychologist and a psychiatrist.
So, as a Trainer, having taught many students and coached many clients and then there is my own competing of course, I am there to demonstrate amongst many other things, belief systems and positive mind set and thought patterns and the physiological effect on performance.
They have very few facilities, virtually nothing. The money has been going elsewhere for a very long time and they have a dream for 2020 for gold medals.
On the 3rd day there, I sat listening to a conversation amongst the local coaches. It was like a brick landed on my whilst being slapped in the face at the same time.
The only person who had complained or been negative about anything was ME. The me who was there to teach positive belief systems, the me who lectures on it and the me who is generally thought of in the Western World as very positive.
Sat there, like a dazed rhino I really started to listen. They talked of what would change, not what was wrong. They discussed how they saw the facilities in 5 years time, not how they saw it now and they talked of how their children would make them proud, not what brats they were being.
My philosophy of no matter how much you THINK you know, you will learn something every day from someone if you listen was paying dividends in millions. It wasnt just these people, everyone else I heard the rest of my time there was the same. There was complete forward thinking, uncluttered by the details of the problems right now and almost a quantum shift.
Since coming back to the UK, utilising what I learned there has made astounding change to my own decisions, my teaching (total changing of powerpoint slides) working with clients and this time - for real - projection is perception.
