What Drives Rob Robertson?

Why do I get out of bed in the morning?

My core purpose is to help others build inner trust and make life easier, drawing on the inner struggles I have had. Total trust in self, our inner wisdom, and understanding the energy behind ‘flow,’ a peak-performance state when we are constantly at our best in life, sport, and business. Often, this helps clients move from self-doubt and a stressed state of no time and overwhelm to high productivity and a feeling of complete trust with true inner freedom. ‘Flow’ is being ‘in the zone’ when life, sport, and business become easy due to empowered self-trust, leading to a more rewarding, high-productivity, passionate, and successful life.

Why that Why?

Having grown up with massive self-doubt, which was, for 10 years, covered up with positive thinking, it was always sport that was the barometer of my mental strength or lack of it! I often found in business that I could ‘fake it till you make it,’ yet I would see a notable drop in performance under pressure in sport.

As a result, my passion is to help others avoid those struggles by using the tools I have developed to build vastly greater mental and emotional strength and resilience. To achieve higher performance in sport and business, with the inner trust to feel good about who we are, all powered by healthy self-esteem. Hence, I get very excited about how mental skills and Emotional Fitness can help people progress in sports results.

All based on the practical tools and evidence of what has worked for me to get free from the mental struggles and abuse that I have had.

How?

Using the MyInnerMap tools, we define each client’s purpose and vision. Then the strategy and actions to fulfil this purpose and vision. This may be gaining greater awareness about the interplay and power of their head and heart, building better balance and self-belief, and unlocking more passion and success ‘flow.‘

When this work is with a corporate or sports team,  we use the MyInnerMap tools so that each person can collaborate and share their intentions and goals with the team in the cloud. Shared the non-personal aspects of their dreams, which they are OK to share with the team. Helping build a shared focus with more supportive self-responsibility and teamwork. With all the goals shared, the last part is tracking results in MyInnerMap for natural self-accountability, with the team able to view the team’s results. They are supported by the right tools to build inner trust in a culture where people are in flow, rather than trying to control outcomes.

What?

Clients are supported through Mental and Emotional Skills Coaching, in-person or online training, facilitation, or by using Rob as a mentor. Success and the desired outcomes vary greatly for each client, yet often the outcome is greater trust, both internal trust of self and in leadership and trust. This is much more than emotional intelligence; it is Emotional Fitness, an internal knowing, an inner trust of self. This is part of my work as a Sports Mental Skills Coach, empowering people to feel good about who they are, within a team culture of greater unity, coherence, and trust.

Inspiration

The following video, Simon Sinek’s TED talk, and his book Start with Why, have all had a massive impact on my work. They are a significant inspiration that has helped shape my work and my purpose along my journey of self-understanding and expression. I have used his theory and extended it to goal setting for teams driven by a purpose, using the MyInnerMap.
