James Laughlin is a High-Performance Leadership Coach, he has worked with elite athletes, CEOs and huge companies, just to name a few. But above that, James is incredibly passionate about inspiring others to find their purpose, one step at a time.

 

2.00 - James speaks to his upbringing in North Ireland, which was not the easiest of upbringings given the hardships their nation faced.

 

But James was given the option of “Detention or Drumsticks” which ultimately helped shape his path more than he would have realised.

 

A lot of the shift is psychological, it’s vision setting and working through beliefs. Inspiring through the story will get the buy-in.

 

 

James is passionate about the growth and is the “pain in the ass” always asking what’s next. He realised he wanted to know “what is next?”

 

8.30 - Am I truly living out my Dharma? Your potential and passion. The life I am meant to be living.

We know it doesn’t feel right, but we don’t know where to go or what the first step might look like.

 

9.34 - How can I help people that are passionate about making a difference?

 

The 10,000-hour rule, get the repetitions in. When you make the leap from the comfort you have the repetitions there. Don’t miss this potential part of your life, the potential you have.

 

James talks about how his mindset set him up, and how brains lead to performance.

Ask Questions.

 

14.20 - You are in your own way, how can we get you out of your own way?

 

What is high performance? Athletes? Celebrities?

When health ended, that is where the high performance began. 

High performance is performing above those standard norms, that industry whether it be as a CEO, a parent, or a worker, doesn’t matter what it is, it’s performing above the standard long term. 

 

High-performance leadership starts with leading ourselves before others.

Develop yourself before others.

Shaun - “Get the harmony between personal and professional”

 

Shaun - “Absent doesn’t mean physically absent, it’s more mentally absent”

 

LABEL EMOTIONS. For kids to say “ I am sad/mad/angry and this is why I feel this way”. Understand your emotions and know it’s okay to feel this.

 

“Growing apart can be difficult or beautiful”

Happily even after

 

The remarkable things about Sir John:

            I am going to make a million dollars and become Prime Minister

(And he followed through on this)

            He is sharp and follows through

            John connects with everyone, you feel like he cares and he does

 

Shaun - Limited beliefs can put a ceiling to where you can get to in life

 

James - We are a product of our habits. And we all have habits, whether they are good or bad, whether they are empowering or not. So when it comes to Limiting Beliefs or Crafting Intentions you need to heighten your awareness.

People who are more heightened with self-awareness have more choices, make better choices, and get better results.

 

People that are narrow-sighted, with blinkers on, often miss out on the joy, passion and goof stuff.

 

These are subconscious and don’t feel like they are on the surface but they can be triggered, like “You are not good enough”. They show up when you are sabotaging yourself. 

Procrastination is a great way to recognise you have a limiting belief. A great way to let go of your limiting beliefs? Release of the hurt, fear, and scarcity.
