871 – Looking at Things Differently with Peak Performance Mindset Coaching’s Lisa Schermerhorn and Kevin Martin
Unlock Your Peak Potential: Mindset Coaching with Lisa Schermerhorn & Kevin Martin
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, we sit down with Lisa Schermerhorn and Kevin Martin, co-founders of Peak Performance Mindset Coaching. Together, they help individuals and business leaders break free from limiting beliefs and align with their authentic purpose to achieve peak performance.
What Is Peak Performance Mindset Coaching?
Lisa and Kevin specialize in mindset transformation by tapping into the subconscious mind. As certified hypnotherapists and masters in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), they use proven tools to identify the root causes of mental blocks—particularly those surrounding money, success, and self-sabotage.
A key element of their work is guiding clients to discover their “WHY,” using a process pioneered by Gary Sanchez of the WHY Institute. Understanding your “WHY,” combined with your “HOW” and “WHAT,” allows you to embrace your authentic self and live with ease. As Lisa points out, “Being you should not be a struggle.”
Breaking Through Limiting Beliefs
The episode dives into some of the most common mental blocks business leaders face:
Fear of Success or Failure: Many professionals unconsciously sabotage themselves when they approach a new level of success due to deep-seated fears.
Scarcity Mindset: Whether you’re financially struggling or wealthy, a scarcity mindset can keep you on an endless hamster wheel of anxiety.
Self-Sabotage: Unresolved beliefs from childhood, teachers, or societal programming can prevent you from reaching your full potential.
By addressing these beliefs, Lisa and Kevin empower their clients to reframe their perspectives, heal past wounds, and replace limiting thoughts with empowering ones.
Practical Tools to Quiet the Mind
For listeners looking for actionable steps, Kevin and Lisa share simple techniques:
Reframing Perspectives: Focus on what you want, not what you fear.
Breathwork and Meditation: Calm the “monkey mind” with deep belly breaths.
Peripheral Vision Technique: A practical method to reduce anxiety and enter a calm, focused state.
Who Can Benefit from Mindset Coaching?
Lisa and Kevin work primarily with successful individuals who “have it all” but still feel unfulfilled. Whether you’re a CEO, entrepreneur, or sales leader, their work helps you uncover your purpose, align with your true self, and break through performance barriers.
