About Performance Coach
Understanding the mind is the key to peak performance
Stephen Desborough
CEO and Founder
Over the course of my career I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with some of the world's most successful traders and have learnt from some of the world's most influential coaches. As one of the UK's leading Trading Performance Coaches, I have mentored hundreds of professional traders, salesmen and brokers and also studied elevated performance for many years.
In 2009 I was fortunate enough to receive a gift, this in essence was an introduction to an understanding. Since that day I have been on an incredible journey deepening that understanding. The Three Principles—the facts that create our experience—has had a profound effect on my life and the performance of my clients.
I now help my clients to understand how their state of mind is the defining factor, not just in their trading, but in every area of their life. State of mind has long been considered a key variable in sport but is often overlooked in business. The greater your understanding of state of mind and the workings of the mind, the greater the level of your performance and your ability to access your unlimited potential.
The Psychology of Trading
My Trading Background
Having been a trader on both LIFFE floors and on the screens I now realise how many opportunities I missed out on and how many obstacles that I created for myself due to fear, lack of confidence, over confidence, frustration, doubt, ego, lack of discipline and many other trading emotions.
These I later found were not just challenges that I faced but that all traders go through. The most important element in trading, and the one that is most overlooked, is the psychology or mental wellbeing of the trader.
Why State of Mind Matters
The performance of traders is significantly impacted by their state of mind. Yet this critical variable is often overlooked in business environments. In sport, mental conditioning has long been recognized as essential. The same principle applies to trading and corporate performance.
Understanding how your mind works allows you to develop resilience, wisdom, and clarity. This groundbreaking approach enables you to access your unlimited potential, regardless of the challenges you face.
