As a business coach, Patrick Smyth often helps the leaders of emerging and high growth businesses to overcome personal self-limiting beliefs and fears that can severely impact their ability to lead and grow their business.  Several of these individuals encouraged Mr. Smyth to create a program using his new process so that many more people could benefit as they have.  After running a couple of successful pilot workshops in the Nashville area, Patrick has now launched the program with workshops currently scheduled in Denver in late August, Atlanta in mid-October, and several other cities in progress.  Demand for these workshops with individuals and with corporate executive teams is growing faster than expected.

“Every one of us deals with beliefs and fears that affect the way we behave, the choices we make, and the expectations we set for ourselves”, said Patrick Smyth, leadership navigator and CEO of Innovation Habitude. “Before we can effectively respond proactively to new positive thinking and motivational thoughts, we need to clarify and remove the old recordings from our brains.  People are responding to this concept with such strong interest in experiencing the program that I was blown away when I starting talking about it.  In addition to scheduling workshops, I now have people wanting to become certified instructors in the process and I have developed the outline for a book that will go into much greater depth than I can cover in a half-day workshop.  I am highly motivated by the idea that I am able to play such a small role with such dramatic effect in putting people’s lives on a positive, productive track.”

based process that will effectively eliminate most of their issues.  Finally, Mr. Smyth demonstrates a visualization technique to help overcome fears or negative responses to situations as they occur in real life.

“This process works because many people have never analyzed their life experiences and patterns this way, and they have never been shown a better way to deal with negative responses and ‘What if’ games that our brains are so good at,” said Patrick Smyth.  ”They leave this workshop having already made a shift in their own understanding and awareness of what blocks them and how to overcome them, rather than being equipped with more CDs and program workbooks to take hom an
