This document discusses how expectations impact performance and outcomes. It explains that winners expect to win because of their positive expectations, which come from past experiences and imagination of the future combined with judgment filters in the brain. These expectations can be conditioned responses based on singularly traumatic or repetitive past experiences. However, expectations are conditional on our assumptions about conditions. The document proposes examining past experiences against a more accurate and supportive framework to change our responses by changing our expectations. It introduces the Kinetic Planning Growth Matrix as a framework to review past experiences based on mindset, skills, resources, and actions rather than outcomes in order to build more positive self-talk and expectations.

This chapter discusses methods for motivating oneself, both directly and indirectly. It outlines learning objectives around developing skills for self-motivation during training courses and daily work. Specific techniques are presented, including setting SMART goals, rewarding accomplishments, triggering interests, and maintaining a positive mindset. The chapter emphasizes that individuals are responsible for their own motivation and should celebrate successes to feel appreciated and remain driven. Proper time management is also important for motivation.
The document discusses the concept of the "push factor", which is described as a major component of success that involves extra effort to overcome obstacles and achieve challenging goals. It states that success depends on a combination of 30 factors, and push is essential to drive things forward. Push involves courage, risk-taking, effort, patience and using all available resources. The author argues that the probability of success grows exponentially with increased push, rather than linearly, because extra effort can lead to breakthroughs.

1. Expectancy theory proposes that employees are motivated when they believe that increased effort will lead to improved performance, which will result in desirable rewards.
2. The theory was developed by Victor Vroom and suggests that motivation is determined by expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.
3. Expectancy refers to an employee's belief that effort will lead to performance, instrumentality is the belief that performance will lead to rewards, and valence is the value the employee places on those rewards.

There are two types of rewards in any incentive program. One is expected rewards, given out for achieving sales goals or completing projects. The other is unexpected rewards, given spontaneously for on-the-spot accomplishments. Both types have their place in any healthy sales incentive program, but unexpected rewards are often pushed to the wayside by program leadership that either forgets all about them, or isn’t sure how or when to distribute them. This is a shame, because unexpected rewards can have hugely underestimated effects on the success of your sales incentive program—here’s how!
Why Surprise Sales Incentives Are Important for Your Sales Team
In 1973, psychologists seeking to understand the effects of rewards on activity performance asked a question: how does the expectation of a reward affect productivity? Gathering together children between 3 and 5 years old, the scientists stipulated only that the children must enjoy drawing for fun. They divided the children into three groups: those who were promised a reward on the condition that they draw a picture, those who received the same reward for the same action but weren’t told before taking part, and a control group who received nothing whether they drew or not.
After the initial experiment, the children’s drawing habits continued to be monitored. What the psychologists observed was surprising: the children who had grown to expect rewards lost interest in drawing and spent less time doing it overall. The children who had received rewards unexpectedly, on the other hand, notably increased their time on drawing.
Although it was conducted decades ago, this study can still frame how we think about sales incentive programs. When people know that they will receive a reward as compensation for a completed task—even if it’s something they enjoy doing—they become significantly less likely to do it without the continued reward. Spontaneous, non-repetitive rewards, on the other hand, serve as positive reinforcement for desirable behaviors.
There’s so much more to talk about when it comes to unexpected sales incentives—take a look at our slideshare below for more about the effects of surprise rewards and how to implement them into your incentive rewards program.
This document discusses several topics related to leadership and organizational performance, including:
1) The concept of "ownership" in organizations and key drivers that foster increased commitment and engagement like rewards, trust, and development opportunities.
2) The RADAR framework for addressing threats, opportunities, developing plans, and reviewing progress.
3) Coaching skills and models like the ladder of inference, advocacy vs inquiry, and the talk model for effective communication.
4) The importance of adaptability for high performance under changing conditions and core dimensions like dealing with ambiguity, controlling internal thoughts, and maintaining energy levels.
Successful people think differently. They have the ability to bounce back, persevere, and make things happen even in the face of adversity. In this innovative learning laboratory, we’ll be exposed to the burgeoning research in Positive Psychology, the science of success and happiness. We will discover how we’re genetically predisposed to negativity, and how switching this habit of thinking to something more positive takes intention, attention and effort. Come learn some scientifically informed strategies for how to build psychosocial muscle and in turn, get SO’MO of what you want in life (at home, work, and every place in between).
This document provides an overview of the Think Breakthrough Career Breakthrough Program. The program is a 48-week comprehensive career development program administered in four 12-week quarters.

Presentation I gave on how to help kids (and adults) to thrive in school and work by looking at some patterns in how we grow as humans.
We want to use that psychological understanding to overcome obstacles and grow through struggle, rather than giving up.
Our current mental attitudes are habits, put together from the feedback on
Parents, friends, society and self, that form our self-image and our worldimage.
These attitudes are maintained by the interior conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.
To become positive in our thinking we have to center on things that inspire
and uplift us. If we may alter our outlook and do away with the damaging thoughts that invade our minds we'll become happier.
The first step in modifying our attitudes is to modify our interior conversations. Get all the info you need here.
The document discusses the concept of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. A growth mindset is a belief that personal abilities can be developed through effort and learning from challenges over time. Researchers have found that a growth mindset is linked to higher performance, resilience, motivation, and innovation. Cultivating a growth mindset involves focusing on improving skills rather than looking good, seeking challenges, and believing abilities can grow with time and experience. Fostering a growth mindset can help people adapt to changes in the workplace and be more successful in the future.

This document provides several "magic formulas" for achieving success in exams and in life. It discusses the importance of having the right attitude, approaching exams correctly by understanding the syllabus and paper patterns, using the power of the subconscious mind by believing you will succeed, taking breaks between studying different subjects to maintain productivity, and taking short notes for quick revision. The overall message is that success comes from within through perseverance and believing in oneself rather than blaming external factors.
This document discusses the importance of developing a "leverage mindset" to continuously improve one's earning potential. It recommends modeling the behaviors and habits of successful people in one's field to efficiently learn and integrate skills. Specifically, it suggests researching top experts, observing what they do, and incorporating their strategies and lessons in a unique way. Regularly studying biographies and interviews of admired successful individuals can help with this modeling approach. The goal is to learn from those who have already achieved what you want to achieve.

1. THE SCIENCE OF WINNING
PART 1
What makes winners think differently?
What separates them from those that work so hard,
yet still miss the target?
When you buy a lotto
ticket do you really
EXPECT to win?
Do you go into shock with
utter disbelief when you
learn your ticket was
another ‘dud’?
EXPECTATIONS
2. Winners expect to win.
They don’t just want it,
They don’t just wish for it,
They don’t just dream it.
They EXPECT IT, THEY own IT ALREADY.
Building Powerful Expectations
Expectations:
“A strong belief
that something
will happen or be
the case.”
Wikipedia
When you buy a lotto ticket do you really EXPECT to win?
Do you go into shock with utter disbelief when you learn your
ticket was another ‘dud’?
So where do our expectations come from?
Expectations are a Somatic (gut feel) recollection of past experi-
ence combined with the imagination of a future event which we
then run through our ‘judgement filters’.
Our ‘Judgement filters’ (a combination of thought processes in-
volving our fusi-form gyros and our Amygdala/Hippocampus
brain centres) work on the basis of a ‘Forward Modelling’ type
process.
What the???
I’ll explain… our Fusi-form Gyros is like our voice recognition software (actually
it involves ALL our senses) which then ‘talks’ to our Amygdala & Hippocampus
to check for our stored emotional response in order to determine our future
actions towards the object or person in front of us.
(These are critical pathways for our Flight or Fight response)
Basically, these brain centres tell us if what we’re looking at (or imagining) is important enough to ‘wake
up’ other parts of our brain and body.
So now; we’ve fixed our attention on something we want. (Achieve a large business objective, financial
goal or sporting event etc.) And using our imagination of the future event we begin to JUDGE the event
in advance in an attempt to make our future actions more efficient.
3. (Forward Modelling) – Forward Models are a predictive internal model of
motor control that takes the available perceptual information, combined
with a particular motor program, and tries to predict the outcome of the
planned motor movement. – Wikipedia
Example: We need to quickly judge “should I chase after that deer for food or should I relax and con-
serve my energy – what are my chances of success?”
We use our ‘Expectations’ and ‘forward modelling’ all the time; they’re not only critical to our major de-
cisions but form part of our everyday ‘motor movements’.
This is why a 5 year old child can have far greater dexterity and fluidity (control) of movement than even
the most advanced robot on the planet. Our brain (Cerebellum and Posterior Parietal Cortex) are much
more advanced in predicting and adjusting to our environment (based on our past experiences)
The truth is – we run these thought processes in the ‘blink of an eye’; we do it on a daily basis for even
the most mundane of activities (should I try and overtake this car / run the orange light or ‘play it safe’.)
Where we get into trouble is when we become CONTINUOUSLY EXPECTANT of negative outcomes
which in turn, contributes to us being unmotivated or disengaged from trying something new.
Over time, if the event is either SINGULARLY SIGNIFICANTLY TRAUMATIC (Freud’s theory of the Cathexis
Charge) or, GIVEN RELATIVE IMPORTANCE (again, Freud’s theory of weakened Ego and Super Ego unable
to cope with underlying Instinctual drives) combined with REPETITION will cause our brain to store a
‘CONDITIONAL RESPONSE’.
There’s the Clue! (Right there, those last two words…)
We fall into despair and ‘give up’ trying to be creative or innovative; often repeating the same mistakes
over and over as we MISTAKE the comfort and ease of ‘being efficient’ with losing the battle of dealing
with change or achieving new goals.
(Remember we have an ‘in built’ survival process to be efficient,
we’re not just lazy…)
4. So What To Do?
Start by examining the
experiences of your past against
a (realistic) framework that’s
more accurate and supportive
of you going forward.
The ‘clue’ I pointed out earlier is ‘CONDITIONAL RESPONSE’.
That means our response is CONDITIONAL; I.e. Our RESPONSE will be based on
our assumptions of the CONDITIONS. This is where our Object Relations Patterns
‘come into play’ but that’s a whole new story for a whole new day…
In essence – Change our view (perspective) of the Conditions,
change our Response.
(Change our EXPECTATIONS)
Anyway, we can use ‘Pre-Programmed’ thought processes to ‘trick’ our mind into Associating
different (more supportive) beliefs by Reviewing (JUDGING) our past experience with a different
perspective.
Now remember, I said earlier that our Expectations are a Somatic (gut reaction) recollection of
past experience. Our memory is literally stored not just in our mind but in our MOTOR SYSTEM
(muscle memory) so to change this depth of feeling we need to ‘disrupt’ our old pattern of think-
ing and kind of ‘get out of our body’ to become successful.
OK, ‘round about now you’re thinking I’ve been ‘slipping a little something’ into my coffee. Stay
with me.
Ever heard of the PLACEBO EFFECT?
Simply put for now, we often put more RELATIVE IMPORTANCE to new information (when we’re
weak, under threat or highly expectant – provided we deem the source Credible) than we do to
our own past known experience.
So, let’s use this to our own advantage.
Let’s combine our imagination and object referral patterns to build
new beliefs; like this…
5. I designed a framework back in 2001. It’s called the Kinetic Planning Growth Matrix.
(Kinetic being the realisation of potential energy – as you remember…)
I was working with a professional athlete to overcome a severe neck injury so he could confidently return
to international racing. (Darryll King – 2x world #2 with over 45 National titles to his name)
Over time I stumbled upon the relative importance of thoughts and actions on a ‘circular expanding’ basis,
rather than the traditional ‘quadrant thinking’ associated with positive mental conditioning at the time.
This model has proven so successful that it has been further enhanced by my business partners (Tony Vidler
& Kevin Smee) and now forms the basis of the course and workshop design for nearly all of the material
developed and delivered by us here at The Elite Professionals Programme Ltd. (but that’s another story…)
Anyway, here it is.
“If I can dream it, can I achieve it?” - “nah bro... You’re still just dreaming...”
This framework helps us to replace reflecting on a past experience (good or bad) and JUDGING the
result (OUTCOMES) by instead, Reviewing (no judgement here – only detached observation) the
(INPUTS) to see how RELEVANT your past experience is going forward.
You see, we can use our natural ‘positive self-talk pattern’ of “if I knew then, what I know now” and
‘over-lay’ it against my model to achieve the following…
Q: What was my mind set prior to and during the event?
How focused and confident was I?
Q: Did I have the skills necessary to complete the task successfully?
Were my skills developed in anticipation of the task or did I assume my old skills would be
adequate?
Q: Did I have all the resource I needed?
Did I make best use of the resource at my disposal?
Q: Were my final actions consistent with a successful outcome?
Did I ‘follow through’ and utilise everything I could?
Did I give it 100% and what can I learn from this past experience?
Mind Set

Resource
Actions
6. We can all agree;
performance is a reflection of both
our efforts (inputs/actions )
and the external environment.
What we do in the world we live…
OUR PERFORMANCE
Sometimes our results are not a fair
reflection of our potential for many
reasons.
The ‘art’ of mental conditioning is to build
an honest understanding of our potential
capabilities and practice the focus to ensure
we ‘stay on task’ when things get tough. We
need to be honest in our appraisal so we
know the difference between being
persistent and being stubborn.
Positive Mental Conditioning is much more
than a ‘rah rah session’ – it’s about building
effective thought processes that help us
reach our peak; to understand the
difference between bravery and stupidity,
fear and avoidance and to ‘get up more
than we get knocked down’…

“The learning from this has been amazing!” says Mike. “The very real threat of serious
injury combined with the pressure of being a professional athlete is the perfect place to
find what really works, and throws out all the garbage that most of the ‘self-
help’ books promote”.
MIKE & KAYNE
Mike regularly consults throughout NZ to increase the leverage within professional services firms and
speaks on a variety of topics, including ‘Closing the Skill Gap’ and ‘What Blocks Professional’s From
Selling’.
Mike considers himself a ‘coaching addict’ – “It’s WHO I am, not WHAT I do” explains Mike, “It’s how I’m
wired; it’s in every part of my life”.
Mike is a passionate exponent of The Enneagram Personality Profiling System, (He attended in New York
at the hands of the ‘masters’ Don Riso & Russ Hudson) which allows Mike to explore the ‘blockages’
that stop people from reaching their own true potential.
“I coach professionals to do the things they won’t do on their own” says Mike, “my greatest sense of
self-worth comes from watching others grow and knowing I played a critical part in it”.
Engaged to the love of his life (Natalie) and so very proud of his 3 kids, Mike still finds time to coach and
mentor NZ’s fastest motocross riders. “It’s an extremely demanding and dangerous sport and the pro-
fessional riders I work with have everything on the line every time they race. Want to learn how to fo-
cus the mind and overcome fear? – you’ve come to the right place…”
