Inspiration and Motivation from Olympic GOLD Medalist Kerri Pottharst

Kerri Pottharst spent 20 years competing at the highest level in her sport, picking up two Olympic medals along the way. Always seeking new and innovative ways to improve, knowing where she was, never accepting "I can't" as an answer to an opportunity and planning each step of the way.

From devastating injury to the top of the podium...

Working together as a team with her playing partner, her 3 coaches (Skills and strategy coach, Physical Conditioning coach and her Success/Mindset Coach) they delved deeply into their reasons behind wanting to succeed.

They then set about observing others that had succeeded and modelling their behaviour. Rules were set in place to keep them on target until they finally reached their destination, which took them to the top of the Olympic podium. No stone was left unturned.

Don’t Just Think It, Ink It! 2 Hour workshop will include:

  • Kerri’s story (peppered throughout the workshop)
  • Values exercise – to help the participants align with their goals
  • Future pacing and setting goals
  • Determining motivators and drivers needed to succeed
  • Creating an action plan (Gold Medal Excellence plan)
  • Recognising fears and doubts that may hold you back
  • Identifying what needs to be given AND given up in order to succeed
  • Finish with stepping out of your comfort zone – Glass Walk

Kerri will take them on a journey from start to finish and they will leave motivated, inspired and with their own Gold Medal Excellence plan on how to be FIT for Business!

Goal Setting

We’ve seen and heard that others do it… Now it’s time to stop thinking about it, now it’s time to do it! Goal setting is the process of developing your pathway toward your dreams. Break up the long road toward your vision with shorter steps and in doing so, give yourself something positive to focus on.
