IMF+ specialises one-to one coaching and consultancy in Brain and Mind Training: this is Peak Performance entrainment and Self-Managed Development (SMD) for all individuals with both professional and / or personal ambitions.

We focus on specific key individual Life Management Skills and client aspirations: we believe in assisting all in developing mind and brain harmony enabling our clients to push ahead with drive and confidence.

Our additional unique specialisation is on developing and understanding of  Real-Time Brain Wave Management (EEG Biofeedback) and HRV Management (ECG Biofeedback) – the ability to synchronise brainwaves, mind state and the whole body: to be “in the zone”. Please see the relevant section on the Home page.

Our client base ranges from undergraduate and career-starters to high level executives, from those with an interest in improving motivation and self-management, from those seeking particular edge towards success and in all aspects of life, for those wishing some assistance in resilience and in bouncing back in their world.

This coaching covers all areas of life and activity.

Our experience is over three decades, and our clients emanate from the corporate world, those interested in personal development; from individual areas of expertise – for example from the world of sport; those with a neurodiversity; those seeking motivation and purpose and from those seeking a boost or new lease of life from any background or with any level of experience.

We also assist those who have experienced trauma and are looking forward to rebuilding their lives.

We are dedicated to our clients’ goals, vision and dreams.

Our services involve one-to-one consultancy and coaching, professional training courses and a variety of products and publications to support individual achievement.

What we are not

We do not pretend to replace clinical psychologists, psychiatrists or professional therapists in any shape or form.

If we ever spot a potential need to refer a client to specialist clinicians and therapists, we discuss this with our client and provide them a process for referral. We “signpost” our clients to appropriate professional bodies or individuals. We strongly advise clients to link with their GPs and local support groups. We will work together was all involved to achieve success.

Some of our Consultants and Coaches may have professional psychological or psychiatric qualifications, but this is not the norm. Some will be psychotherapists. All are highly qualified in a variety of different areas such as CBT, NLP, Accelerated Learning or mental health for example, and possess many years of experience in coaching and consultancy.

One of the many benefits of having a range of associate Coaches, Consultants and Mentors is that we have a broad range of experts to whom we may refer.

Case study and Example of a recent session:

Consultant Notes to Client:

“ You (Nicolas) provided feedback and an overview of the period since we last spoke.

We focused on Time Management today. You have expressed an interest in learning more about the techniques that will help you, many of which you are aware of but do not maximise. We worked on this, and you were surprised that this also included training and discussion on procrastination, dealing with interruptions, dealing with negative pre-conceptions and reacting to set-backs. You also didn’t expect to cover concentration and attention, using EEG Biofeedback Metawaves techniques and Heartmath HRV training. You began to see how all of these practices and techniques blend together and how important the Initial Assessment has been to in forming a way you can self-manage your future success.

We tried out a  few examples relevant to his lifestyle immediately; I emailed you some of my Info-graph Boosters and we concluded with a Plan of Action until next week’s session.

This was an hour and a half session.”

Nicolas’ feedback:

“PJ has opened my eyes to the possibilities and opportunities I have for my own self-controlled development. Extremely re-assuring.

Coaching, Consultancy, and Mentoring are distinct approaches that offer guidance and support to individuals or organisations.

They differ in their focus, purpose, and methods, but also share common approaches.

It’s important that clients are aware of these distinctions when choosing and agreeing the support required.

IMF+ offers Coaching and Consultancy  predominantly. Mentoring may well be appropriate after a Coaching and Consultancy  programme to extend some support if required. Our main aim, however, is to help our clients become self-managed.

Coaching:

Coaching is a collaborative process, often a partnership. IMF+ coaches aim to help individuals or groups improve performance, meet specific targets, and reach and extend their mind sills and their potential.

Coaches facilitate self-discovery and personal growth by asking empowering questions, by focused listening, by giving detailed feedback, and offering calculated advice and guidance. They will also recommend specialists in key areas that may be required but that are not in their own skill sets.

A coach assists clients to identify and build upon their strengths, understand, and resolve current weaknesses, clarify their objectives and develop targets, collaborate in creating action plans, and in overcoming challenges.

Coaching typically focuses on the present and future, on personal accountability, on skills training and  development, and on improving mind state.

Consultancy:

Consultants involves providing expert and specific advice, specialised experience and knowledge, and practical solutions to individuals or organisations facing challenges, projects or exploring methods and skills for improvement.

Consultants possess expertise in a particular field or industry and use their knowledge and experience to analyse problems, identify targets and key objectives and develop opportunities. The intention may also be to deliver tailored recommendations and solutions.

Consultants will also recommend specialists in key areas that may be required but that are not in their own skill sets. They often work closely with clients to understand their individual and specific requirements and to create and develop strategies, systems, or processes to instil them.

Consultancy is more directive and problem-solving-oriented, with consultants providing expertise and implementing solutions.

The term Consultant applies in many fields, for example medicine. At IMF+ this often applies to our Business Clients, but also those engaged in our specific Extended Programmes.

Mentoring:

Mentoring is a relationship-based approach in which a more experienced and knowledgeable individual (the mentor) guides and supports a less experienced person or new member of a team or group (the mentee) in their personal and professional development.

Mentors share their wisdom, insights, and experiences to help navigate their client develop careers, gain skills, and meet their goals.

Mentoring may extend beyond specific tasks or projects and encompasses broader developmental areas such as career progression, leadership development, and personal growth.

Mentoring involves a long-term, informal relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and guidance.

                                                                                                                                                                           -:-

While all these approaches share some common aspects, such as facilitating growth and development, their primary differences lie in the focus, nature of guidance and the dynamics between the parties involved.

Understanding these distinctions can help individuals and organisations choose the most appropriate approach based on their specific needs and desired outcome

Metawaves  & Heartmath Feedback and Training:

Feedback from any Mind and Brain Wave Management session can be viewed on an App, and we can then track back, looking at our whole brain coherence, our pulse and HRV, our breathing coherence, our balance between active state and relaxed mode and much more.

We will be able to set targets and manage patterns over previous sessions.

Throughout an App we will also be able to gain further information and explanation.

To achieve the potential that Mind and Brain Wave Management feedback and training and coaching can produce, it is important to have a clear understanding of how the brain and mind work, and to explore our own particular Personal Profile.

To begin with it will be useful for individuals to reflect on their current approach to life and what works for them. This is normally achieved by a Key professional Skills Performance Review by self-assessed analysis and enables an in-depth look at:

• Competencies and Personal Talents
• Personal Skills
• Qualities and Characteristics
• Interests
• Aspirations
• Learning Profile and Style – including IQ
• Mental Resilience
• Mind and Brain Wave feedback (EEG analysis)

Most people do not realise just how much potential they possess until they have carried out this background review.

Advice is provided in Guided Session areas of:

• Peak Performance Flow mode
• Maximising Learning mode
• Managing Anxiety and Distress mode
• Meditation and Relaxation mode
• Managing Sleep mode
• Achieving Concentration, Attention and Focus mode
• Positive Emotion and Resilience mode

There is an Unguided Session mode, so individuals gain feedback whatever they are doing to understand, upon reflection, how they performed.

Introductory information and links are provided for further information are included in the App. The following areas are most popular:

• Understanding the Mind, Brain, Brain Waves and Heart Rate Variability 
• Mind State; Resilience and Strength
• Improving Memory
• Critical Thinking, Decision Making and Problem Solving
• Creating a Personal Performance Plan
• Health and Well-Being (mental and physical)
• Neurodiversities
• Success Skills
• Self-Coaching
• Working with a Coach
• Clinician and Therapist Training

Brain coherence is a natural state, which can occur spontaneously, especially when we are feeling positive and upbeat or doing something we truly enjoy.

However, for most people in todayʼs high stress world, it is rare for sustained periods of coherence to occur without practicing techniques like Mind and Brain Wave Management.

The Seven Steps of Peak Performance Coherence:

Metawaves & Heartmath BWM

Step 1              Connect the Headband sensors

Put on the headset and link to the app.

Step 2              Set the parameters for a focused session

Choose the session you want to follow. Set the time and other options available.

Step 3              Choose the brain wave mind state you require and set the target

These are Unguided sessions modes (without training and guidance throughout the session):

Attention, Focus and Concentration mode

Meditation, Mindfulness and Relaxation mode

Managing Distress and Anxiety mode

In the Flow mode

Peak Performance mode

Step 4              Focus on your Mindwave and Heart connection

Calmly focus your attention on the area around your heart. Put your hand over your heart if it helps, and clear your mind, imagining the situation you wish to engage.

Look at the app and recognise the real-time brainwave levels depicted, your heart rate and pulse, your breathing coherence – and much more.

You will be able to see whether you are in or out of the zone you have chosen. Calmly focus your attention on the personal situation or challenge you wish to consider and review.

Step 5              Smart Breathing

Imagine you are breathing through your heart as well as your lungs and diaphragm. Visualise your breathing is flowing in and out through the chest. Breathe slowly and gently. Breathe in slowly for 5 seconds and slowly breath out for 5 seconds and maintain this until your breathing is rhythmic, smooth, balanced and unforced. As you continue you will find a natural inner rhythm that suits you.

Step 6              Employ Positive Language and Positive thinking – Visualise Success

At this point, it is very important to employ positive feelings and attitudes. Continue to breathe rhythmically and occasionally look at the App screen to follow your real-time feedback. By using guided imagery and visualisation techniques, and by engaging emotions such as happiness, appreciation, joy or compassion, or such as drive, extreme focus and desire to succeed, we can begin to alter mind state. This means that you can employ the most appropriate brain wave for our purpose in the session and you can manage your chemical and hormonal balance and cardiac function to maximum effect. As you focus on this the mind, brain and body synchronise to achieve a state of Maximum flow.

Some people like to visualise an occasion where they have felt success, calmness, or a
time when they have felt appreciation or care. This can make it easier to engage a positive feeling in the present moment. This could be the love or affection we may have towards a special person, a pet, a place you enjoy, or an enjoyable activity. Equally it may be for an active challenge, a physical activity (like sport), a public performance, when key decisions need to be made with calm clarity or when we are anxious, stressful, feeling low or recovering from trauma.

Try to sustain this focused state it by continuing your heart rhythm, breathing and emotional feeling. After a period of time the breathing will become rhythmic and you will forget it is consciously happening.

Step 7              Post Session Reflection

At the end of the session, use the app to look back at your results in all the key areas that you used to engage cortical coherence. Consider the areas that you would like to improve from your results and also from the percentage of success in the task is that you are undertaking. There’s a section in the app where you can write notes and keep a journal of your success. This helps you plan your target for the next session.

Developing a Personal Development  Success Plan involves a structured approach to identifying goals, assessing current skills and areas for improvement and the creation of a plan of action for personal growth and development.

Creating your own personal plan is one of the most underestimated and misunderstood but essential steps in building a successful career and a more fulfilling life.

PDSP Steps:

• Connect with the coach or personal consultant – build up a rapport
• Conduct a personal review and self-assessment
• Establish goals
• Prioritise key aspirations to develop and create a Plan
• Research, gain personal understanding and build up resources
• Take action – step-by-step targeting
• Track progress, evaluate and adapt
• Network
• Seek feedback
• Seek continuous improvement

Working with a specialist coach to help build life management skills is one of the most rewarding and beneficial professional relationships we can ever have.

Executive coaching generally involves a professional development process that focuses on enhancing skills, performance, and leadership abilities of executives and senior level professionals.

The intention is to support executives in achieving their professional goals, improving their effectiveness, maximising the potential.

Being an executive or senior level employee can be a lonely experience. Often there is no one to whom to turn.

At IMF+ we focus on the following key aspects:

• Goal setting
• Assessment and 360-degree feedback
• Action planning
• Skill development
• Accountability and Motivational support
• Confidentiality

We use various assessment tools and focus on strengths and areas to improve and leadership styles. Clients again self-awareness and identify areas for development. Many of the goals relate to leadership, enhanced communication skills, improve decision-making abilities, or navigating specific professional challenges.

The coach and the executive collaborate in creating an action plan that may include skill building activities, behavioural changes, and practical techniques for  enhancing effectiveness

We recognise that every executive is an individual and they are able to choose from a range of skills that suit their particular needs and interests. Examples of these maybe communication skills, conflict resolution, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence intelligence, or any of the many competences essential for executive management success.

We provide guidance resources and exercises to facilitate this skill development.

Working in partnership throughout the coaching process the coach holds the executive accountable for action plans and goals whilst providing ongoing support, motivation and encouragement to overcome a variety of obstacles and to remain committed to their growth journey.

Executive coaching sessions are typically conducted in confidential settings insuring a safe space for open and honest discussions

We endeavour to customise our sessions through virtual or face-to-face coaching to meet the demands of busy executives.

There are many benefits for both individuals and organisations which include:

• Improvement in team leadership
• Sustainable organisational change
• Increased emotional intelligence and self awareness
• Higher levels of leader resilience
• Development of strategic thinking skills

This is not an exhaustive list, and individuals choose those areas and skills the apply to their own particular needs.

It is important to note that it is not unusual for those that participants in executive coaching may also then focus on promotion or a job change.
