Mastering Your Subconscious to Become a Better Leader in the Workplace

Leadership is not just a matter of strategy and decision-making. It’s about the conscious decisions we make and the subconscious influences that drive them.

Ollie Ollerton, the founder of BreakPoint and a former Special Forces operative, knows the power of the subconscious mind all too well. He has translated his extensive training and experience into a model for exceptional leadership in the corporate world.

The Subconscious Mind: The Silent Director

Our subconscious mind is a collection of our past experiences, beliefs, and values. It operates below the level of conscious awareness, yet it has a profound influence on our thoughts, emotions, and actions. In the high-pressure environment of the workplace, the subconscious can both propel us to act with courage and hold us back with fear.

Understanding the Subconscious Triggers

The first step in mastering your subconscious is to recognise its triggers. Stressful situations in the workplace can often lead to knee-jerk reactions rather than considered responses. By understanding these triggers, leaders can prevent the subconscious from taking over and ensure that their conscious, rational mind stays in control.

Reprogramming for Success

Leaders can reprogram their subconscious to align with their conscious goals and values through various techniques, such as:

• Visualisation: Regular visualisation can train your subconscious to react in a desired way when the actual situation arises.
• Affirmations: Positive affirmations can reinforce your leadership qualities and goals. By repeatedly affirming your capabilities, you can embed these beliefs in your subconscious.
• Mindfulness: Practice mindfulness to become aware of your subconscious patterns. This awareness allows you to make deliberate changes to those patterns.

BreakPoint’s Approach to Leadership

At BreakPoint, Ollie Ollerton emphasises the significance of the subconscious in leadership. The BreakPoint Academy provides tools and training that help leaders harness their subconscious for better decision-making and resilience. Here’s how BreakPoint’s methodology makes a difference:

• Mindset Meter: An innovative tool that allows leaders to check in with their teams’ feelings, enabling them to align their mindset with their leadership objectives.
• Goal and Habit Tracking: Setting clear goals and tracking progress helps leaders reinforce positive subconscious patterns.
• On-Demand Content: Ollie’s own experiences and teachings are available to reinforce learning and support leaders in their journey to master their subconscious.

Leading by Example

Mastering the subconscious is about setting an example for your team. When leaders handle situations with a clear, focused mind, they inspire their teams to do the same. This approach fosters a work environment where conscious leadership drives actions and decisions.
