Mastering The Inner Game With Jay Hedley

Every leader I have worked with hits the same ceiling. Not a strategy ceiling. Not a physical one. The one between your ears.The game outside of you will only ever go as far as the game inside of you allows.In this episode I sit down with Jay Hedley, founder of The Coaching Room and Head Coach, and the man who has shaped my own performance more than almost anyone over the last decade. Jay works with CEOs and C suite leaders globally, alongside elite Rugby, football and boxing programmes, using NLP and developmental psychology to build what he calls the inner game.We cover:- The inner game and why most leaders never train it, even though it decides everything else- NLP explained properly, why perception shapes reality, and why the nervous system is the missing link in most performance conversations- Meaning and intent as the engine behind sustained high performance, and why so many high achievers hit a wall once the early hunger fades- The identity compass, and the difference between confidence (which should move with skill) and self worth (which should not)- The outcome versus process trap, and why focusing on what you do not want guarantees more of it- Why mental recovery is the most neglected pillar in performance, and what happens when leaders give it zero hours a week- Slowing down to speed up, and why the leaders who resist looking inward are the ones who stay stuckJay has just opened Level 1 of his High Performance Mental Skills course, six weeks, built around the same framework we break down in this conversation. I have done the work with him directly and it has shaped how I run Built For Pressure.Course link: https://functionaltraininginstitute.com/high-performance-mental-skills-for-sports-fitness-coaches-level-1/Connect with Jay Headley:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayhedley/Head Coach: https://www.headcoach.coach/ If you are operating below your ceiling and you know it, the question is not what is wrong with you. The question is, what are you doing with what is in front of you right now?🔗 Connect with me:Linkedin: @willfodenInstagram: @willfodenWebsite www.builtforpressure.net#LeadershipPerformance #Highperformance #ExecutiveMindset #PeakPerformance #BusinessLeadership #EnergyManagement #ResilientLeadership #OptimizeYourself#mentalclarity #peakperformance #PersonalStandards#SuccessUnderPressure #EntrepreneurLife #ElitePerformance #ProductivityHacks #CEOHealth #sustainablesuccess  #leadershipdevelopment  #worklifebalance  #trainsmart #masteryourenergy
