Hi everyone, Happy New Year.

I hope 2026 is treating you well so far.

Do you have any goals or intentions that you've set for the coming year?

You've probably already heard multiple people saying that January isn't the best time to be going full throttle with big willpower-driven changes (in the Northern Hemisphere at least!).

While I agree to a large extent, we can set intentions for the year ahead and outline personal 'projects' that we would like to work on progressively over the coming year and beyond.

My issue with new years resolutions is that most people pursue them using willpower alone, without working on the subconscious mind and the real reasons you might have been engaging in a habit or avoiding certain positive productive choices/activities.

And then you add in the fact that it's still the middle of winter, it's dark and cold and you may not be feeling your most energetic- and it can be too easy to fall off the wagon (and perhaps beat yourself up about it).

One thing you may want to work on is creating true confidence in 2026. I have a brand new approach with all new techniques and strategies that I'm introducing this year.

On Sunday 25th January (1.00-2.30pm) I will be hosting a unique Zoom workshop called Flowing Confidence in 2026, in which I will be sharing this powerful approach with highly practical techniques for accessing confident states at any point, and building a deep sense of self-confidence and trust in yourself.

The link to book your place is in the comments and comment or DM if you have any questions.

I meant to share these photos back in late October.

These are photos of the same tree outside my office, just over 6 months apart.

I know it's a bit clichéd, but a lovely illustration of how change is constant, inevitable and how nature never resists adapting and transforming.

In what ways (if any) are you resisting change/evolution in your life?

One of the best things about workinc with children and teenagers is seeing the hope and enthusiasm return to their eyes during a session.

It's such a hard time to be a teenager and many (parents and kids) aren't even aware that my approach exists and aren't aware of the sort of results that are possible within a single session.

As with anyone I work with, commitment is all-important in terms of getting a great result, but this can at times be more tricky with children/teenagers as sometimes the parents want the change more than they do.

In this era of constant communication and comparison. we need to find new ways of helping young people to build their self-esteem/self-worth.

The school svstem doesn't do this well (and this isn't the teachers' fault as they do a great iob within the confines of the system) as the non-academic kids in particular (who struggle to focus in boring classroom-based lessons) are being undervalued.

Over time, this wears their self-esteem down more than people realise.

One thing I always do with young people in sessions is to help them get clear on what makes them really special as an individual- as many find it hard to tell me anything positive about themselves at the start of a session, let alone celebrate it.

The other thing is to reframe their beliefs about achievement. Allowing them to realise that they're already great and special, regardless of what they achieve or don't achieve.

Does the way we live dull our genius over time?

What do you think?

I've long argued as a football fan and now as a performance coach/consultant working with professional footballers, that many players (though not all) become less intuitive over time and are unable to do many of the things at 26 in a game that they could do at 18.

Football is only one example of this. The late education expert Sir Ken Robinson argued (and provided evidence through studies) that schools train the natural creative genius out of children- which becomes more apparent the further they progress through the school system.

My view on all this is that the need for control, standardisation and testing for data purposes makes people less intuitive. It makes them overthink more, and the logical mind is nowhere near as powerful as the subconscious in terms of the level of information it can process in a split second.

I've always believed that we're all innately set up to be brilliant in our unique ways. In his 1960 book Psycho-Cybernetics, Maxwell Maltz discussed what he dubbed the "Success Mechanism" or "Creative Mechanism". This is essentially an inbuilt natural mechanism for reaching goals or targets, that works through intention, visualisation (along with desire) and trusting that your powerful subconscious will lead you to the desired outcome- without needing to control exactly how that will happen.

And this brings me to the key point about trust. More analysis, more data, more control and micromanagement doesn't necessarily lead to the desired outcomes. People don't become more brilliant (at whatever it is) by prioritising analysis and control over their own internal guidance systems.

Work with my clients is all about creating a deep sense of self-trust. To reach an understanding that although the path may not always be clear logically, they can trust themselves to find a way- and that as long as they remain authentic and connected to that self-trust, their creative mechanism will navigate the path for them.

Wellbeing and performance are intrinsically linked.

I'm still amazed that so many football clubs, sporting institutions and companies seem to overlook this fact- or simply pay lip service to it without taking any real action.

And no- just having an occasional visit from a yoga or meditation teacher or telling someone they can speak to the psychologist if they need to is not taking real action.

As much as I believe strongly that individuals should be holistically supported within any organisation simply because it's the right and ethical thing to do, there IS a huge competitive advantage to be gained from investing time and resources in this as well.

I find it hard to believe that so few football clubs (even at the elite level) have realised what a huge advantage they could gain over their competition by exploring this and investing in going deeper with their provision for wellbeing and mental/emotional performance.

Data and sports science have been invested in to the nth degree- but everyone is doing it now.

The obsession is with (and always has been to a large degree in football) the external, the measurable.

"How can we improve equipment, make players physically fitter, improve lung capacity, optimise nutrition, optimise sleep etc?"

This is all vitally important of course. But what about optimising players mentally, emotionally and electrically?

What about showing them simple yet incredibly powerful ways to thrive and to make better decisions under the highest pressure?

What about showing them methods of transforming their self-image and self-esteem so their confidence goes through the roof, and they suddenly start doing things effortlessly that they previously thought they weren't capable of?

There is still a fear in football (and in the corporate world) about facing these things- people don't want to explore the depths of emotion or the true essence behind the individual. It's too deep, too uncomfortable for them to even entertain it.

But the first clubs that do truly embrace it will gain a massive advantage on their competitors.

This is why I created my Genius Flow model- a way to naturally allow players (and employees in the corporate sector) to channel a higher level of their talent through hypnotic and advanced visualisation processes- all while knowing themselves as an individual better than ever before.

Balancing, harmonising and optimising at a mental, emotional and electrical level (as the body has an electromagnetic field that is integral to wellbeing and performance).

At the moment, I have courageous individual professional players working with me one to one on this- who have taken the initiative to come to me independent of their clubs. And we're talking elite clubs- who have almost unlimited resources, but do not offer anything like this for their players.

Those that are prepared to explore this deeply will reap rich rewards from it, both in their professional careers and personal lives.

Optimising the electrical flow within us is key to enhanced wellbeing & performance.

The body is electric and we're surrounded by an electromagnetic field (some would call it the aura). This is very easy to prove with various demonstrations I perform in my corporate wellness workshops.

I can also very easily demonstrate certain things that weaken the electromagnetic field and things that strengthen/balance it.

Any time we're stuck in a trauma response or feeling stressed/anxious/fearful, the electrical flow within us is restricted.

Most coaches/therapists ignore this- mainly because they don't know about it. And no doubt many of them would think what I'm saying is total bullsh*t.

That's fine with me- the ones that think that way can stay closed-minded and continue to get mediocre results with their clients.

If you choose to embrace this approach and this alternative knowledge, you're ahead of the game.

By working with me and embracing these 'alternative' principles, you're opening yourself up to amazing possibilities in your work, career and life in general.

The last 12 years of my life have been dedicated to researching a wide range of modalities, finding out what works the fastest and create the most profound results that truly last- and bringing it all together to ensure you have (what I believe to be) the best of during each and every session.

We must release what holds us back ELECTRICALLY.

The body's electrical field is key to trauma release, release of fear and anxiety and the optimisation of performance.

Modern society has conditioned us into believing we have to intellectualise everything, and that through logical/intellectual understanding of an issue, it will automatically improve.

This is just not how trauma and fear within the body work.

You can talk about a trauma over and over and over again and the likelihood is, very little will change. This is the case for many of my clients, who've often been through extensive courses of CBT that made very little difference to them.

The electrical field of the body is key to transforming our state at a really deep level- primarily through:

Meridians and Fascia

Recent studies have shown that meridians and fascia are essentially one and the same. By stimulating meridian points through tapping (TFT and EFT) we are releasing blockages in the electrical flow of the energy body, restoring it back to balance.

A combination of tapping (working to release the emotional charge from negative memories) and physical myofascial release is amazing for releasing deeply held stress and trauma from the body. Havening also has similar effects in terms of emotional/trauma release.

It's no coincidence that I talk about (and Joe Dispenza regularly talks about it) emotional "charge" associated with memories. Whenever we tune into the "thought field" of a memory, we activate that memory electrically within our bodies. When it creates that response, it literally is an "electrical charge", which of course can be negative or positive, it's a pleasant memory.

Remove the charge from a memory and it no longer affects the electrical field of your body.

"We are all electric creatures, floating in the electric sea of this electric Universe."

Recent Client Story

How much are "life-changing" results worth to you?

A few months back, I worked with an employment lawyer, who despite his experience and expertise, would get very nervous and often panicky before court appointments.

It was making his job a nightmare and he wasn't able to perform at anywhere near his best as a result.

A few days ago, I received this email from him- this is after ONE session with me:

Hi Liam,

I hope that you are well.

I just thought that I would give you a bit of feedback. Since we have met, I have undertaken two court hearings and various other work situations where I would have become nervous; the difference is phenomenal, literally life-changing, on one occasion I felt confident enough that I was able to challenge the Judge, and I cannot thank you enough.

Another great review just in. As many of my clients say, my methods tend to have a far greater and faster impact than CBT or counselling.

It's a more than worthwhile investment- especially when you might be waiting months to years on a waiting list for CBT on the NHS- only to find that it doesn't solve your issue anyway.

What is your wellbeing worth to you? As far as I'm concerned, if you don't feel good mentally and emotionally most of the time, you're not really living.

I'm looking forward to delivering this powerful workshop alongside Robert Brennan next Sunday.

This is a great opportunity to attend an in-person workshop for people in the Manchester/Cheshire areas. We will be sharing some amazing knowledge, techniques and strategies to allow you to take charge of anxiety.

These strategies are cutting edge and not only will I be sharing my techniques, but Rob Brennan who is another renowned local therapist and coach will also be sharing his.

An ideal chance to learn some of the best of the best in terms of rapid ways to release anxiety and to bring it under control for good.

You will also learn about the impacts of food, diet and lifestyle on anxiety from successful chef Dan Kirkham.

This is a very unique workshop and there really isn't anything else like this around- a great opportunity.

This not your average anxiety talk. We will not be teaching you how to ‘manage’ or ‘live with’ your anxiety, we will be getting rid of it.
