Personal Development
Personal coaching is a unique journey tailored to each client. Our goal is to help you identify and overcome limiting beliefs, negative behaviours, and unhelpful thoughts in order to achieve clarity and positive actions towards your desired outcomes. It is not uncommon to feel stuck without understanding why. Whether you are experiencing confusion, conflict, or disconnection in your life, we are here to guide you towards direction, understanding, and purpose.
We are pleased to offer a free initial consultation, either in-person (lasting around 90 minutes) if you are based in or around Norfolk, or via Zoom if not. This meeting serves two main purposes: to get to know each other and determine if we are a good match, and to discuss your current situation, desired outcomes, and how we can work together to help you achieve your goals.
Team Coaching
Our goal is to improve the performance of your team, and increasing their motivation using Motivational Maps™, Language, NLP Coaching & Training. We believe that motivation, communication, and language are essential to the success of any company, especially in today’s competitive job market. Allowing teams to times to reflect taking the time to work.
We help teams and their managers better understand what drives them using an ISO-accredited motivation profiling tool called Motivational Maps™. Together with our extensive coaching, training, and corporate experience, we work to optimise team performance and drive success.
Reflection is key to building a team that is both more effective and more united. A team coach provides protection and inspiration for better working, connectedness, and impact:
- Enabling teams to perform better together.
- Helping teams to develop strategy.
- Dealing with ambiguity or stress.
- Finding the teams strengths and weaknesses.
- Understanding a team’s unique dynamics.
- Supporting senior teams to create and even share their vision.
When it comes to team building, two old sayings come to mind: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” and “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link”. If the whole is the team, the team members are the parts, and if the team is the chain, then the team members are the links. For you to build the strongest team you need to know which links need attention. All you need to achieve this is a way of measuring those links, and how to make them stronger.
Here at the Mind Palace, we work with you and your team to achieve just that, by working on the most crucial aspect of individual and team performance – motivation. By measuring the motivation of individuals and establishing how well they are being met. But that is only the start, because you will also find out how the team integrates, in terms of motivation, and where there may be potential conflicts that affect interactions, reduce productivity, and cause teams to fall apart.
Motivational Mapping™ is an ISO accredited, proven scientific method of determining people’s motivators and identifying potential conflicts within and between individuals. Once you understand yours, and your team’s motivations you can devise an approach to appeal directly to these, increasing yours their satisfaction. The power of a team leader to understand the motivational needs of the team is one which will afford you the opportunity to build the best team you possibly can.
Rep Test
‘The Meaning of Communication Is The Response We Get’.
The Representational Systems refer to how people process the world around them. Four primary systems were identified through the study of NLP. These four clearly link to styles of unconscious communication, ways of learning and processing information
By taking the test you will learn what about your representational system
Taking The Rep Test Online
A central tenet of NLP is that we interpret the world around us using one or more primary senses. There is, thankfully, a way to access this information and tap into the benefits of understanding which and how they are used – the Rep Test Online. This test plays a key role in uncovering how individuals represent the world.
If you stop and listen to the words people use in everyday speech, you will often hear repeated phrases that tell a lot about how they interpret their experiences and interactions. You will be familiar with many of them, such as “I see what you mean” and “I need to touch base with you” for example. But they are more than simple phrases, they tell you much about the person uttering them, they are windows into how their mind works. Being aware of these gives you a great way of establishing and building rapport with those with whom you interact by using the same language as they do.
The Representational Preference Test, or REP test for short, takes about five minutes to complete, and the results will enable you to identify your own, and others’ primary representational system.
With this information, you will be able to identify and tap into a person’s preferences and develop an effective way of communicating that connects directly with the unconscious mind and builds strong rapport.
To discover your primary representational system, simply complete the test, then scroll down to interpret your results.
Interpreting Your Results
So, you have completed the Rep Test and you have your results. So, what next? Firstly, you need to understand what they mean, and the specifics of the language of each system. You are now able to use this information to support you in recognising the preferred communication of those with whom you interact.
You will be able to adapt your language to achieve the greatest impact. It will also help you in understanding why you may previously have struggled to engage with certain people.
