How Inner Excellence Can Help

Achieving and sustaining extraordinary success is not for everyone. There’s a price to be paid (and it must be paid in advance), but the reward is well worth it!

Jim coaches individuals, teams and organizations. He puts on workshops and gives keynote talks. Most of all, he loves to make a powerful impact in the lives of people around the world.

What exactly is the Inner Excellence High Performance System, and what does it include?

Inner Excellence is the ability to focus and direct your energy towards full engagement, mind, body, and spirit. Resonance is the goal—that zone where you’re completely focused in the moment, challenging your gifts in a meaningful way.

Four core areas to align and train:

1. Physical body
2. Conscious mind
3. Subconscious mind
4. Spirit

Note: By spirit I mean your deepest values and purpose.

Your state (current energy focus) is based on three main things:

1. Your physiology (condition and state of your body)
2. Your desires (where your heart is)
3. Your focus (where you place your attention)

Inner Excellence is focused on developing a powerful state throughout the day—seeking resonance.

Here’s what the Inner Excellence System creates for you:

Your CP3 (CORE: Purpose/Passion/Peace). We get clear on what you do and WHY you’re doing it. You have a unique gift, something no one else has. When we connect your Core Purpose, your Life Passion, and what gives you Peace, it creates a path to resonance.

We do a complete assessment of how you think, what you value, as well as your strengths and weaknesses with the MindScan evaluation.

We clarify your goals and dreams as well as your greatest fears.

Breakthrough your fears Fear is the biggest obstacle we face. You will transform your subconscious beliefs, away from fear and towards your goals and dreams.

You’ll learn a new mindset with some basic concepts:

1. You are not your mind.  It is a part of you that you must train.
2. We live simultaneously in two worlds: the external world of situations and circumstances, and the internal world of thoughts and feelings.
3. The subconscious mind runs our lives, constantly working to attract what we repeatedly think and feel (regardless if it’s “good” or “bad.”)
4. Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is vividly imagined and what is real.
5. Everything in your life is here to teach you or help you.
6. We all have a biased, self-centered frame from which we view the world. You will learn how to overcome these limits and expand your vision, constantly improve, and overcome self-consciousness.

Establish your CP3 routines We’ll put in place systems to do every day. You will establish routines around performance/work (before, during, and after). Included are mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual routines.

Shift from winning or losing to simply performing/being you. Once we get clear on the outcomes we want, we shift to a moment-to-moment process. With clear goals and a clear plan, both of which connect to your true self, you become your best self. Unstoppable.

Learn how to relax and get centered. You’ll learn the techniques of martial artists how to clear your mind and move your energy to the center of your body.

Learn how to visualize your success. Everything happens twice, once in your mind and then in your external world. You’ll learn how to create your ideal life.

Learn a new mindset, new skill set, and new tool set. As you begin to see the world differently, your life will never be the same.

Who are your clients exactly?

I work with athletes and executives, teams and organizations. I also work with purpose-driven individuals who think big.

Here are some traits of people I’m best suited to work with:

• You are highly motivated to make changes and get to the next level in your career or life purpose.
• You recognize the benefits of having a coach—in fact you’ll do whatever it takes to play a bigger game in your life and live more courageously.
• You are ready to put in the work it takes to leave your past self behind and connect with your true self—your best self.
• You have big goals and dreams.
• You have a strong desire to impact the world in a powerful, positive way.

What kind of results have they experienced?

• Life-changing self-confidence.
• Life-long phobias cured in one or two sessions.
• Mental blocks that threatened careers overcome in one session.
• Biggest upset victory ever at the Olympics Games in baseball
• In one year, three teams all had their best seasons in 22 years, 41 years, and 62 years respectively.
• A client had the biggest turnaround in the 29-year history of one Division I coach’s career
• A client became the biggest rookie story in Major League Baseball our first year together (after eight years in the minors).
• A client had the Game-Winning hit in the Women’s College World Series after visualizing that exact scenario six months prior.
• Teams have gone from last place to first place within a year—or less.
• And much more.
• Your story might be here next. :)

How are you different from other life or business coaches, or sport psychologists?

I’ve experienced pressure playing in front of thousands with the Chicago Cubs organization. I’ve been through the highs and lows of pro sports. I’ve coached athletes at every level, from youngsters to professional and Olympic athletes.

I put roughly 10,000 hours in the last five years alone studying high performance; have been the Director for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (for British Columbia), and became a Master Practitioner in Neural-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

I’ve studied leadership and coaching championship teams with some of the best managers and coaches on the planet. And I never stop learning. Together we’ll be meeting extraordinary people from around the world through interviews in the blog. Soon I may tell your story and interview you!

Working with myself and the Inner Excellence System, you will learn how to overcome the obstacles and fears in every area of your life. Guaranteed.

Coaching Your Team/Organization

I’ve been blessed to have had extraordinary success with the teams I’ve worked with. Here’s some differences I’ve found between underperforming teams and extraordinary teams:

5 qualities of underperforming teams

1. Ego-based leadership
   1. A leader with a limited sense of self is vulnerable to the ego, which is always under threat of a failure.
   2. This creates self-consciousness, attachment, and potential anxiety.
2. Focus on the wrong things
   1. Underperforming teams are outcome-focused in their daily activities
   2. This leads to emotional instability and anxiety
3. Leaders coach the role, not the person
   1. A disconnect forms between coach and teammate/employee
   2. Lack of empathy and rapport leads to lack of trust
4. Lack of trust
   1. Because leadership focuses exclusively on the bottom line/winning, employees/teammates lack trust
   2. Lack of trust leads to lack of commitment
5. Lack of commitment
   1. Everybody is out for themselves
   2. Limited accountability

5 qualities of extraordinary teams

1. Leaders coach the people first (role second)
   1. The best leaders coach the person first (and know how to do that)
   2. They connect their teammates to a vision beyond themselves
2. Leaders seek self-mastery
   1. They pursue self-awareness, self-discipline, and personal growth
   2. The team follows suit
3. Focus on the process
   1. They set their goals high then focus on the process of achieving them
   2. They learn to enjoy the moment
4. Compete with each other
   1. They bring a high level of focus and intensity to work/practice each day
   2. They reward little things
5. Train/work in an environment that empowers their mind/body/spirit
   1. Team members are given opportunities to enrich all areas of their life
   2.  Organization helps workers/teammates grow as individuals and within organization
