DESCRIPTION
It is now accepted that modern business coaching has not delivered the results it promised. Not any more! Being Mind Fit will enable individuals to understand the attitudes and behaviours that drive performance, whether positive or negative. Modern business coaching creates a knowing - doing gap, people have lots of information and do not necessarily know what to do with it. By engaging the person and helping them understand what being Mind Fit means, the knowing - doing gap closes and will produce a real return on investment.

Developing Winning Minds for Business Growth
MIND FIT for Success
Can Do
Can’t DoWon’t Do
For performance and ROI improvement. . . . . .attitude is everything
We all think or hope that we have a positive attitude. But… there is attitude and then there is a Mind Fit attitude! Mind Fit develops attitudes that translate into positive Can Do behaviours, producing positive results time and time again. Results with guaranteed ROI.
What is Mind Fitness?
Nobody unlocks business growth and success like Mind Fit.
“I think 70% or 80% is about attitude. Once you have made sure that everybody’s prepared for the task, it’s just that – it’s an attitude. The good news in life is that you can choose that. You can’t always choose or change the circumstances in your arena, but you can always choose to change your attitude.” (Frank Dick. International Athletic Coach)
“Mind Fitness is choosing to use our natural abilities to perform to our optimum in different situations, through Can Do attitudes, and a winning mind.”
The Mind Fit process is a unique, whole brain approach that is scientifically sound and has been applied successfully for over 15 years. Its origins stem from top sporting performers, business performance coaching and shared experience. It focuses on ‘doing’ rather than ‘learning’ and we expect people to start doing within one working day.
This is the opposite to that offered by most organisations who concentrate on knowledge training as the means to change people’s attitude and behaviours. However this frequently produces the wrong outcome. Yes people go on training courses, and that box is ticked, yet quickly return to old habits, with the effect of little or no improvement for the organisation or individual. Yes, the knowledge banks are built up, but is there added personal action and delivery?
Mind Fit closes the knowing - doing gaps between what people have learnt but seldom apply, immediately generating a greater return on previous investment. Mind Fit enables the effective use of gained knowledge and the confidence to seek out other gaps that need addressing.
If knowledge equated to behaviour surely nobody would smoke! People have to want to change. The same applies in business. Something else is needed. Something that causes people to want to change, to want to improve, to want greater job satisfaction, to want to contribute greater business performance and have a winning mind.
People respond more to emotion than logic. The Irish writer James Stevens eloquently describes this as “what the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow”.
Mind Fit taps into the emotion. By introducing our unobtrusive inside-out self-assessment process we enable people to take control of their personal performance.
How we develop Winning Minds and the Mind Fit Map
This is called the knowing – doing gap.

Introducing the Mind Fit Map®
Why use a map?
Maps are used to find your way around. Whether a road map or an organisational diagram we are used to maps making things clearer. This is exactly the case with the Mind Fit Map: making things clearer and pointing you in the Can Do direction.
The Mind Fit Map – where is your organisation on the map? What attitudes and behaviours dominate?
Can’t Do – ‘avoid’ General lack of drive or energy Easily overwhelmed by work load or change At work but no involvement
Won’t Do – ‘block’ Managers doing their own thing Cynical attitudesBlame culture dominates
Can Do – ‘deliver’ Clear sense of purposeDriven to succeed by seeking opportunities to add valueAbility to think flexibility and focus appropriately
Having only used a few selected points here we are sure you could easily add a few more! Other behaviours more specific to your business will also fit on map – where do you see them fitting?
Without a Can Do attitude there can be no winning minds.
If you don’t have Can’t Do or Won’t Do behaviours (we call them Behavioural Waste) in your organisation then you must be doing a lot right!
Behavioural Waste – all forms of behaviour that divert energy, talent and resources away from personal or organisational purpose.
Your people will thrive on our approach
Your organisation directly benefits
Our pragmatic action-based approach means not having to learn theories or models. Instead, your people quickly discover where they consistently operate from on the Mind Fit Map, both positively and negatively. This in turn enables them to identify and change those habitual attitudes that hinder a winning mind.
The tough times of recent years have led many to a feeling of personal shrinkage. To operate with a Can Do attitude is to recognise the need to change, to restore a sense of personal growth and the personal and commercial gains that come with growth.
By developing a Mind Fit attitude your people will be directly focused on those behaviours that most directly aim at your business imperatives, creating an immediate point of differentiation.
By reducing Behavioural Waste at the outset with your people operating with a Can Do mind, you can expect their own and commercial performance to be improved – quickly.
Winning minds embrace change.
