As a life coach, I help people to take control of their ‘inner game’, and therefore take control of their life.

“It’s the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they’re gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it’s my turn to leave”.  Tupac Shakur

The term “the inner game” was introduced by Timothy Gallwey in his book The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance

“There are more players that have the talent to be the best in the world than there are winners,” says Timothy Gallwey, the author of several books about the mental side of tennis, golf, and other pursuits. “One way of looking at it is that winners get in their own way less. They interfere with the raw expression of talent less. And to do that, first they win the war against fear, against doubt, against insecurity—which are no minor victories.”

“Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time.

Many years ago, I watched Tim “teaching” a woman to play tennis for the first time. Though she had difficulty touching the ball with her racket initially, within twenty minutes, she was carrying on sustained rallies with Gallwey, like someone who had played tennis for years. It was the most stunning example of tapping intrinsic capacity to learn I had ever seen.

Tim’s gift lies in his deep appreciation of the power of true, i.e. non-judgmental observation and how to invoke it. His aspiration is the realization of genuine potential not miracles, but the gap between that potential and our current performance is often so great that the results are nothing short of miraculous.

Twenty years of testing online pharmacy have shown that his methods can produce results in work, as they have done widely in sports. The real question is, ‘Are managers ready to surrender trying to control people and trust their desire and capacities to learn, starting with themselves?’

In this day when many talk of accelerating learning in organizations but few have actually done it, the words of a master are timely indeed.”

* Peter Block, best-selling author of The Empowered Manager… Flawless Consulting… and Stewardship…

“The Inner Game of Work helps us define the landscape of what has become known as a “learning organization.” In this book, any manager or employee who has the courage and commitment to really learn about learning will find concepts and practices that can turn the intention of a learning organization into a day-to-day, lived experience.”

A Conversation with Tim Gallwey

After several years of planning, production recently launched for Tim’s upcoming “Inner Game” television special targeted for initial broadcast on Flagship PBS Station WGBH later this year.

As part of this new “Inner Game” media initiative a “Conversation with Tim Gallwey” was also filmed.

From “Inner Game of Tennis” to his recently released book “Inner Game of Stress” Tim provides us with an all encompassing and enlightening commentary about his work, his journey and his “Inner Game”.

A phenomenon when first published in 1972, the Inner Game was a real revelation. Instead of serving up technique, it concentrated on the fact that, as Gallwey wrote, “Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game.” The former is played against opponents, and is filled with lots of contradictory advice; the latter is played not against, but within the mind of the player, and its principal obstacles are self-doubt and anxiety.

What part of your game is your biggest strength/weakness? I think my biggest strengths are determination and topspin. Although, my unintentional mis-hit lob winners are pretty lethal and annoy a lot of people.   My biggest weakness is probably being too analytical and letting “Self 1” get in the way. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read “The Inner Game of Tennis.” You won’t regret it.
