Focused Performance for Women Seeking the Competitive Edge
Let Dr. Adrianne Ahern help your group realize focused performance giving them the competitive edge, professionally and personally. Dr. Ahern says, "Top athletes and highly successful business people know that Peak Performance is 99% mental."
What does this mean? It means that our brains have been programmed with specific attitudes and patterns that cause us to act and react in specific ways. This conditioning is unconscious, but it is hardwired into our brains, our very physiology through neuro-pathways. Its messages are often negative and limiting--and it rules our lives.
Says Adrianne, "How would it be if your brain's hardwiring told you that you were smart, sexy, and powerful? That success is easy for you and that you are fully equipped to handle whatever comes your way? How would you act and react?"
After 15 years of research and client work, Dr. Ahern's new book, Snap Out of It Now!, her inspirational keynotes, and life-changing workshops offer practical tools and techniques to train our brains to work for us, not against us. Your group will be amazed by the power of Dr. A's concrete and practical programs for rewiring the brain. Individuals will be motivated toward higher performance, improved relationships with their group members, and family relationships.
Each of the presentations described below can be delivered in a 1-hour keynote, a 3-hour seminar, or developed into a full-day workshop to fit the specific needs of the audience. Please take the time to review Dr. A's presentation topics, and then talk to her about how she can uniquely tailor her presentation to your specific needs and situation.

Focused Performance for the Competitive Edge in Athletics
From competitive skiing to cash in the bank, from the Boardroom to the bedroom, our thoughts control our outcomes. The #1 cause of poor performance is negative thinking,
which is accompanied by tension and anxiety in the body. Dr. Ahern will provide your audience with tools and techniques to conquer performance block in minutes and to eliminate anxiety, stress, and anger when it shows up.
Peak performance is the feeling that you are one with what you are doing, and it is available to everyone. Using her high tech tools—including a wireless visor that communicates with her computer—Dr. A demonstrates how to quiet the mind and relax the body so you can be more accurate in your golf shots and/or more present and alert on your playing field, whether that be the mountain, the court, water, or park.
Using cutting edge tools, Dr. A will guide the audience in learning how to:
-
Access the zone of peak performance
-
Eliminate nervousness, anger, and doubt from your game
-
Bounce back from setbacks with optimism
-
Perform with more energy and JOY
Dr. Ahern helps athletes--average to elite--become aware of and then learn to monitor those things that kill performance—overactive thinking, doubt and tension in the body. As soon as you become conscious of these performance barriers, you can manage them. Says Dr. A, "If we can manage them, we can move our performance to another level—this is how the average person becomes a peak performer!"
"In Rally car racing, focus is needed over a two day period. Flat tires, broken transmissions, fogging windshields ... plenty can happen. Winning athletes learn to deal powerfully with breakdowns (both physically and mentally) again and again. When it looks like everything's going wrong, Dr. A's method is one of many tools I can use to perform well -- to get my A-game back. In my sport, confident mindset is the difference between winning and losing."

Focused Performance for Women Seeking the Competitive Edge
Are women hard-wired for low self-esteem? Cultural power is at play when you tell a woman "You can't." It's not the intrinsic nature of women but cultural expectations--low expectations--that have become wired into the brains of many females.
The brain has five times more negative emotions than positive emotions--it's biased towards the negative. The negative belief lives in our physiology--our body and our brain. Most people--women and men--are not aware of the negativity that exists within them.
Dr. A shows audiences of women how to cleanse the negative belief, that imprinted neuro-pathway, from the body and the brain to create lasting change. She guides the audience using her Snap Out Of It Now! process of retraining the brain to support success, achievement, and better relationships—at work, home, and every where else. Dr. A's profoundly effective techniques guide women in waking up to their counter-productive programming, snapping out of the mental mediocrity and attaining their maximum potential.
Participants will walk away with tools to:
-
Retrain the brain with positive and self-empowering thoughts and emotions
-
Break free of the barriers created by negative patterns of thought and reaction
-
Reduce feelings of anxiety and increase self-confidence
-
Expand your perspective and see the big picture
-
Wake each day feeling feeling energized and focused
