BrainScripting: Peak Performance for the 21st Century
My name is Dr. Patrick Gannon and I am a Psychologist and Peak Performance Specialist. I work with performers and athletes, and anyone interested in enhancing their performance. I integrate exciting new research on brain science and neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to grow new neural circuits when the brain is used in specific ways), and have developed effective strategies that help clients significantly enhance their performances. Do you want to improve your confidence and performance in public speaking, performing arts, college and professional athletics, sales or business management? I can help.
I have worked with professional singers and musicians preparing for auditions or performances; college and professional athletes who are trying to raise their game; management and sales people who want to improve their sales pitch; and brain surgeons who must perform at their best in life or death situations.
All performers need to learn how to best focus their physical and mental skills-on demand- to optimize performance.
My peak performance system is called BrainScripting and involves programming mental scripts–of our own choosing– into our brain so that we can optimize performance success. Research on neuroplasticity and neurogenesis (brain cell growth) shows that we can rewire our neural circuits–essentially we can grow the brain– in the direction that your performance requires. By imagining how we want to perform and by installing these mental scripts, we can change our brains to activate peak performance states. Two new brain based techniques are utilized to help install the mental scripts–Cardio Imagery & Rehearsal and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These revolutionary techniques are implemented in a six session program that will capitalize on your performance potential. The 6-Session Program can be tailored to fit your personal schedule.
