The Performance Enhancement Imagery Course covers:

The Mind: This component forms the foundation of the program and will explain how the mind works to process, store and retrieve information. It provides an in-depth understanding of the roles of the conscious and subconscious mind. Often, training programs and coaching sessions are focused at the level of the conscious mind, however in high stress events, rapidly evolving events or spontaneous events it is the subconscious mind that determines our response.  This program provides participants with the tools to assist them in creating the most desirable subconscious mental programs in themselves and the people they train and coach.

Performance Enhancement Imagery: This component makes up the greatest part of the course. It begins by examining exactly what imagery is, and why it is so effective.  The key elements to conducting successful Performance Enhancement Imagery sessions along with the wide variety of ways Performance Enhancement Imagery can be used with both groups and individuals are covered in depth.  In addition to learning how to use Performance Enhancement Imagery course participants will be provided scripts to guide them through imagery sessions. During the course participants will develop their own scripts and practice developing and delivering an imagery session in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Self-Talk: The most important conversations we will ever have are with ourselves, about ourselves, in the privacy of our own mind.  It is important that people become aware of their self-talk as it can be either positive and productive, or negative and destructive.  Self talk helps to establish and reinforce programs in the subconscious mind. Once people become aware of their self-talk they can change it to ensure it is most desirable.

The Power of Words: The emphasis throughout this course will be the use of positive based language to create expectations of success in yourself and others. Much of the language used in our everyday communication is negative based and it may be creating less desirable programming at the subconscious level.

Imagery and Debriefings: Debriefings following scenario training, actual calls or athletic events is a tremendous opportunity to learn from the experience and improve future performance. Imagery can play a vital role in creating effective and lasting learning through debriefings.

Imagery and Video: Many trainers and coaches use videos in their programs. When used effectively and combined with imagery these videos can program officers and athletes for future success. When used inappropriately you can program them for failure.

Performance Anxiety: Test and performance anxiety create a number of issues for people from every walk of life. One of the greatest areas of anxiety is for law enforcement is firearms qualification. Performance Enhancement Imagery has helped hundreds of law enforcement professionals around North America overcome this anxiety and qualify easily and consistently. Performance Enhancement Imagery can also be used to help individuals who are anxious about written exams, promotional interviews, public speaking or that opponent or venue that always haunts them.

Once you learn the basics of Performance Enhancement Imagery you are only limited by your imagination as to how you apply it in your training and coaching.
