Exploring the factors behind what makes successful people successful. What’s their secret, is there a formula to success and if so can anyone model it? This presentation unpacks the connection between consciousness, leadership, company culture and future success. It also explores 5 easy practical ways for you to plan ahead so you can practise gaining access to your own brain’s pre-coded success neurology. Drawing from his work with leadership teams, Andrew will explain what he believes holds-back high performance, and how building skills around emotional intelligence will create success.

Step 2 – work on your language

15. 1. Name the
ISSUE
2. State how
did/does
that make
you FEEL?
3. State how
did/does
that make
you THINK?
4. State how
did/does
that make
you ACT?
ISSUE
FEELING THINKING
ACTION
First round
Think of an upcoming or,
past event that may be
difficult or challenging
that you wish to plan for
or learn from.
What would be, or was
your default reaction to
dealing with this
challenge? (eg stressed,
panic, stretched etc)
Now follow the
instructions in the circle:
Second round
Now use your imagination
to visualise a more
resourceful choice to deal
with your issue more
proactively or, in the
future.
Now go around the circle
and notice what’s
different and what
changes
Lastly, visualise this as a
future success. See
yourself doing this
successfully

body language

20. The Haka!

21. Simple exercise…
Remember a time when you
felt really confident about
yourself,
when you were at your very
best…
Bring back that memory now…
and drop it from your head to
your body…
Repeat this a couple of times
and you will find that you
access it more powerfully..
This feel good state of mind can
be revivified at any time to be
used as a positive resource that
trigger a number
neurotransmitters helping you
to feel good about yourself
more of the time
Step 5 – visualise your success

22. Vision boards

24. Exploring styles of consciousness

25. Expanding consciousness - exercise
Research by Andrew Jenkins – Developing High Performance Teams
Work in small groups of 4 and lay out on the floor all six A4 paper templates
1. Start by standing near styles 1, 2 and 3. Read the words in the circles and discuss any matches you
recognise or observations you’ve made that might describe you as individuals, your work
colleagues and your workplace culture (past or present). Notice that some of the qualities of each
of the first three styles could be dysfunctional if overplayed.
2. Now move to styles 4, 5 and 6, repeating the first step. These styles represent higher levels of
consciousness and a growth mindset. Notice what you notice
3. Now return to the middle (between styles 3 and 4). Help each other to agree on which style best
represents each of you: where your were, where you are now, and where your aspire to grow to
next.
