Exploring the Edge with Sian Phipps · Episode

It’s here 👀🎙️

The podcast went out on time… the post slightly later than intended🙈

But, nevermind.

Starting the next chapter isn’t about everything being perfect, or knowing exactly how things will go.

When you step out your comfort zone, start looking and building your Edge, when you start new things- it’s going to look imperfect and it’s going to feel uncomfortable.

But, it you want to reach your true potential then you gotta show up anyway.

So here I am, showing up anyway.

Here’s to the Next Chapter and Exploring the Edge 🥂

Just 2 days 🙌🎙️

I hope you are all as excited as me (but hopefully not as terrified) 😅

On the podcast I’ll be Exploring many area that research shows give those high performers the edge …. In sport, in business and in life!

A topic that comes up time and time again is pressure…

How do I perform under pressure?
Why do I freeze when the pressures on?
How come some people thrive under pressure?

We’ll dive more into the ins and outs in the Podcast Episdoes to come but one think I want you to think about when it comes to pressure …

Pressure is a Priviledge.

If you’re in a situation where you feel pressure … you’re stepping out of your comfort zone.

And that reward doesn’t often come for free.

How we see and frame pressure can change EVERYTHING.

4 days to go!! 🎙️

And today I want to remind you of some things that are normal … and that we are all working on all of the time🤷‍♀️

✨You’ll never feel 100% ready.
And that’s ok. You just need to tip the scales so you have more belief than doubt. 51% belief.

✨You’re biggest opponent, block and obstacle will always be yourself… more notably your chimp brain.
It’s designed to keep you in your comfort zone, sooo anytime you try and step out of that (like relaunching a podcast) it will try to turn the volume up to full max on all the reasons why you shouldn’t 🙄

✨levelling up does not happen without discomfort.
And that’s why your chimp brain hates it.
Feel sick, nervous?
Having negative thoughts?
What ifs?
Tough decisions?
Stretching your emotional bandwidth?
Yep, that’s all just proof that you’re moving forward out of that comfort zone.

Am I excited to relaunch the podcast- absof**kingloutely! I am so excited.

Am I terrified. Also yes.

The power of psychology and working on your mindset means you start to learn how to hold space for both feeling, both emotions, and know it’s ok.

My chimp is no quieter than yours… I just know when it’s the chimp talking 🙊

4 days to go… will you be listening?! 🎙️

As the founder of The 1% Edge Performance Psychology Consultancy I thought now might be a good time to tell you a little about what we do 👀

✨We give you the skillset to manage your mind, optimise the way you think, what you do and the results you get.

✨We help you build not only self belief and confidence but, also resilience and mental toughness … inevitable skills needed in high performance

✨We don’t do this from a text book, we do it using science backed data, research and tried and tested methods. We work in the real world, and give practical solutions for all situations.

… get ready for the podcast to bring all of this to you! 🤩

The countdown is well and truly on…
Just 6 days until the Podcast Relaunch 🎙️

So I thought I’d share 6 things you may not know about me before we get getting next week…

✨I started my business 11years ago- originally it was called SP Coaching - The Equestrian Confidence Coach … I always knew psychology and mindset was something I wanted to focus on!

✨I have been a public speaker for 8 years (given some was on zoom during Covid) but, I’ve been giving workshops and talks on Mindset and Psychology for a while now 🙈

✨I’ve evented up to 2* and I was on my way to qualifying for 3* when an injury meant I had to retire that horse from eventing… but he’s still very much the king of my team! … and I’d very much like to go back up the levels again one day!

✨ I don’t just help riders… shock I know.
I actually have qualifications in psychology and mindset that have nothing to do with equestrian sport… my passion is marginal gains for elite performance and how to shift your identity. I work with athletes in all sports as well as corporate businesses and entrepreneurs!

✨This is not my first podcast. I had one a few years ago called ‘Between the Ears’ - it’s still on Spotify. Unfortunately I had a series of unfortunate events in my life which meant I hit pause on it until NOW!

✨ I started mindset work and psychology because I’m naturally an overthinker/ ADHD type brain. I struggled to manage my mind, my nerves and I always felt like my mind let me down. I have never been or felt brave or overly confident, I’d question myself and second guess …
So everything I do, I’ve used. Its tried and tested.

Creating the 1% edge something you work at all the time, and I hope this BRAND NEW PODCAST can help you start or level your journey to find your edge!

Behind the scenes of a Pre International Check in…

I have a wonderful client competing at this week, and en route she wanted to have a quick check in to make sure she had her game plan ready and to bounce some thoughts across.

The main thing for me when I’m in a call with a client prior to a competition, a big business deal or whatever the pressure situation may be is I’m not looking to tell you anything you don’t already know.

…why? 🤔
Under pressure, you need your brain to feel like it’s in control… it needs ‘normal’.

The systems are in place- your pre performance routines and the tools don’t change.

The work doesn’t happen overnight, the work happens months and weeks before.

Under pressure it’s just doing what you ‘normally do’.

My job is to ensure to remember this, you believe in yourself and your system.

This particular event was for this client to test her ‘normal’ in a bigger atmosphere, under a bit more pressure … ready to set herself up for even bigger things to come in the future.

Everything then becomes feedback for the future.
There’s no secret to success, or performing under pressure other than..
Keep working on those 1%’s.
