“The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it’s open.”
That’s a quote from performance coach, Ric Moylan, who we recently had the pleasure of inviting along to present our exclusive partners-only event held at The Fountain House, Manchester.
Ric has mentored 7 World Champion athletes. He’s provided coaching to The RAF, special forces, and police forces. And he’s applied the same principles to help professionals in challenging, fast-paced industries.
Sounds a lot like PPC marketing.
The day was designed to provide our partners with useful tools and take-home tips to assist them in their day-to-day professional lives.
As Ric says on his website: “I teach professionals the essential skills and foundations required to think with greater clarity, perform better, and create a unique and profitable product for themselves and their business.”
This empowering session was all about breaking through barriers, keeping calm under pressure, and applying the right mindset when faced with a challenge.
Guests were invited to put their new skills into practice with a couple of challenging activities which included glass walking and karate-chopping wooden boards, as you can see in the video below!
Ric provided our partners with three key take-home points (we’ll try to do them justice here):
- There is no growth in comfort. Learn to push beyond comfort zones. Our brains are designed to keep us safe. We need to challenge ourselves to do things outside our comfort zones to experience growth.
- In a fast-paced working environment, we are faced with lots of stresses and challenges. To cope with them, we need to optimize our physical and mental health. Ric used the analogy of surfing – that we can’t control the waves, the challenges we face, but we can control our ability to surf, our ability to deal with them successfully.
- The mirror test. We can’t always be our best, but if we can look in the mirror and say that we gave our best, that we did our best, we can put ourselves in a good place.
Powerful stuff.
A great thought-provoking event which wasn’t just about you selling us Lunio – that was very good to see. Some great insights from Ric and definitely useful tips for the future.
This free-to-attend event was the first of many we’re going to be rolling out across the country.
So if you want to join us for the next one, where you can enjoy engaging presentations from top guest speakers and meet like-minded PPC professionals, keep your eyes peeled across our socials for dates and venues.
