The Mind Coach: Be the person you really want to be
by Jamil QureshiAlthough in this world everyone is different, we all share the common goal of wanting to succeed; be it in sport, business or relationships. The truth is, however, that few people - if any - ever achieve their true potential. What stops us, bizarrely, is ourselves. We are all inherently self-limiting and are unwittingly sabotaged by hidden fears and insecurities created by past experiences.Using a revolutionary blend of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnosis and psychology, Jamil Qureshi - the Mind Coach - teaches us that the real secret to success lies in our ability to trust in our subconscious skills and shows us how to work with what we have, rather than what we think we lack.The Mind Coach is unique, innovative and spectacularly successful - not just for CEOs and professional sportspeople, but for every one of us who wants to make the most of our lives. It's brilliant, it's simple... and it must be tried.
