  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
• 0:12
  genuine. Issues.
• 0:13
  Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, Demanded by
• 0:16
  celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
• 0:20
  These recordings took place live from Adam Smith in London's
• 0:24
  world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:35
  Hi, it's Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:38
  leadership and strategy hypnosis session.
• 0:42
  And I was working with a client that was very successful and
• 0:45
  working at one of the biggest companies in the world.
• 0:49
  And they really wanted to get to the next level, but that level
• 0:53
  would require them to be much more strategic, much more
• 0:57
  visionary, much more influential.
• 1:00
  And they knew that they wanted that, but they didn't quite feel
• 1:02
  that they had those qualities. They didn't embody those
• 1:05
  qualities fully. Now, one of my beliefs is that
• 1:09
  the journey prepares you for the destination.
• 1:12
  But unless you're clear on the destination, you're not on the
• 1:15
  journey. And a lot of people are sat
• 1:18
  there thinking, but I'm not ready to do that without
• 1:22
  realizing that choosing to do it actually is the catalyst to
• 1:26
  become ready. And that's really what this
• 1:28
  session is all about. I also really like archetypes,
• 1:32
  and you've got different archetypes.
• 1:34
  You've got the kind of Jungian archetypes of the hero, the
• 1:38
  orphan, those kind of things. And this client to me seemed
• 1:41
  very much like an architect, very good on detail, very
• 1:44
  competent, very kind of thinking in terms of systems and solving
• 1:49
  problems, but they didn't come across as the visionary leader.
• 1:55
  So this almost acts like a bit of a video game.
• 1:59
  And sometimes in a video game you power up.
• 2:02
  So if you imagine Super Mario, he's kind of small and then he
• 2:06
  gets the, I forget what it is. The, the, the thing, I don't
• 2:10
  know if it's a mushroom or something like that, but then it
• 2:12
  kind of double s in size. So a power up or a levelling up
• 2:16
  is a really good metaphor for what humans do all the time.
• 2:20
  If you're listening to this, undoubtedly you are not the same
• 2:23
  person that you were a year ago, five years ago, 10 years ago.
• 2:27
  Most people are levelling up. They're evolving because they
• 2:30
  have more knowledge, more wisdom, more skills.
• 2:33
  And that's a good metaphor for what this client wanted to go
• 2:36
  through. And there actually is 3 levels
• 2:39
  of levelling up. That's who they are, which is
• 2:41
  the archetype turning into the commander, then the strategist,
• 2:45
  and then what's called the strategist king, which is this
• 2:47
  fusion of this kind of king, like leadership, but retaining
• 2:52
  all of those strategic qualities.
• 2:54
  So if you're listening to this and you like the idea of
• 2:58
  evolving, levelling up, becoming more of a leader, I think you
• 3:01
  will get a lot of value from this session.
• 3:03
  But just be aware that the qualities that are mentioned in
• 3:07
  this session like credibility, competence, influence are very
• 3:12
  specific to the client that I was working with.
• 3:14
  And there might be other qualities that are more
• 3:16
  desirable to you, like creativity or passion, in which
• 3:20
  case take what's useful, discard what isn't.
• 3:23
  And if you like the idea of working with me directly, there
• 3:27
  will be a link here in the description where you can
• 3:29
  schedule a completely free consultation call over Zoom.
• 3:32
  We'll have a chat, and who knows, I might be your
• 3:34
  hypnotherapist. For now, though, find a quiet,
• 3:38
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:40
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:05
  you breathe in, breathe in a wonderful feeling of calm and
• 4:10
  relaxation. And as you exhale, feel a
• 4:16
  wonderful feeling of release, as if when you breathe out,
• 4:23
  tension, stress, or worries are leaving your body in your
• 4:29
  outward breath. Breathing in, relaxation and
• 4:36
  exhaling tension. That's it.
• 4:44
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel.
• 4:50
  And the more relaxed you feel, the deeper you breathe.
• 4:55
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 5:02
  So just imagine your physical body stays exactly where it is
• 5:07
  as you start to reminisce of a beach in Turkey with white
• 5:12
  sands. And just imagine, the beach that
• 5:18
  might normally be busy is completely private and empty.
• 5:26
  Blue skies and sunshine, soft white sands and clear waters.
• 5:34
  And just imagine you're back on that beach, not at the age that
• 5:43
  you were, but the age you are now.
• 5:45
  And just imagine, as the waves break, there's almost a mist,
• 5:55
  tiny droplets of seawater. And almost imagine the freshness
• 6:01
  of that sensation on your skin, on your face, perhaps even the
• 6:06
  taste of that salt. Just feel that wonderful feeling
• 6:14
  of relaxation, as if every breath is taking you even
• 6:21
  deeper. Relaxed.
• 6:46
  on that beach, A sun drenched beach where the Aegean Sea meets
• 6:55
  white sand and there's gentle waves, but the water is so still
• 7:01
  so clear. Sometimes it just looks like a
• 7:06
  mirror for the sky. So as you walk on that private
• 7:14
  beach, white sands, just imagine the warmth of the sun on your
• 7:19
  skin, that soft breeze that carries the scent of the sea
• 7:26
  water and maybe nearby trees, that calm rhythm of gentle waves
• 7:35
  just lapping at the shore in a steady, soothing pattern.
• 7:44
  And just imagine continuing to walk slowly across that white
• 7:48
  soft sand, reconnecting with how peaceful it feels here, as
• 7:56
  though this place has been waiting for you.
• 8:01
  And I want you to imagine seeing a comfortable lounger very close
• 8:07
  to the water's edge. The kind of lounger where you
• 8:11
  can relax but stretch your legs out and just embrace the moment
• 8:21
  that's in. Just when you lie back, your
• 8:28
  body, your arms are supported, but allow your feet to rest in
• 8:33
  those warm sea waters, feeling the gentle sway, the soft wave
• 8:42
  after soft wave softly washes over them.
• 8:47
  And you can connect with the warmth, the stillness, rhythm
• 8:53
  and quiet repetition. And it almost begins to open a
• 8:59
  door to a dreamlike state, a drifting, floating calm that
• 9:07
  lets the deeper mind awaken. And with every wave you go
• 9:14
  deeper, and with every breath you relax further.
• 9:20
  And as your awareness softens, you drift into that beautiful
• 9:26
  place between waking and dreaming, the kind of place
• 9:31
  where a whole identity can shift and evolve, and deeper truths
• 9:38
  can emerge. Just connect with that place
• 9:40
  now. And as you imagine sinking into
• 9:46
  that lounge beneath you, supporting you but cradling you,
• 9:53
  sinking in, I want you to notice a heaviness in your limbs as
• 10:00
  your body relaxes more deeply than before.
• 10:06
  Every gentle wave touching your feet pulls you further inward
• 10:13
  into that quiet internal world, a dream like world where
• 10:20
  imagination becomes real and real change becomes a natural
• 10:26
  evolution. Just feel that wave of loose
• 10:33
  heaviness washing up through your legs to your hips, your
• 10:38
  stomach, your chest, your shoulders, your arms, and
• 10:45
  finally your face. Arms and legs limp and loose
• 10:51
  like the limbs of a puppet with no strings.
• 10:54
  Jaw loosening, eyelids heavier feeling a desire to yawn without
• 11:00
  yawning and just connect with that feeling.
• 11:04
  That wonderful feeling of pure relaxation.
• 11:10
  A place where everything loosens, everything settles,
• 11:13
  everything just feels completely at ease as you let your mind
• 11:21
  drift now, like a boat on Stillwater, carried by currents
• 11:29
  that know exactly where to take you.
• 11:35
  And as you drift deeper, your unconscious mind begins to
• 11:40
  awaken that deeper, older, archetypal intelligence that
• 11:48
  exists beneath language, beneath thought, and beneath identity.
• 11:58
  Because a part of you knows that you are here to evolve.
• 12:06
  You're here to step into a new level of being, a version of you
• 12:11
  that's been waiting for you to activate qualities that until
• 12:18
  now we're only partially or potentially harnessed.
• 12:25
  And I want you to feel that that evolution begins now.
• 12:36
  I want you to imagine. Imagine a big screen hovering
• 12:41
  over the Aegean Sea. And on that screen, you see
• 12:45
  yourself as you are now, all of your good qualities, everything
• 12:53
  that makes you valuable, but also the things that aren't
• 12:58
  fully there yet. Maybe there's less of that
• 13:04
  confidence that you would like, less of that leadership, not
• 13:11
  quite as much of that visionary strategic thinking.
• 13:19
  And it's not that this is wrong or bad, but just consider it
• 13:26
  like a game. And sometimes in a game, you
• 13:32
  level up. And when you level up, you have
• 13:35
  more resources, new access, new skills, new powers that you
• 13:42
  didn't have before you levelled up.
• 13:46
  And as you look at this screen, it looks like the screen of an
• 13:50
  adventure game. And see your character like an
• 13:54
  avatar, almost like an architect.
• 14:00
  Not an architect of buildings, but an architect of data and
• 14:05
  projects and systems. And I want you to see that this
• 14:12
  is level 1, and I want you to see that there is competence and
• 14:20
  credibility and clarity and capability.
• 14:24
  But just imagine being willing and open to new ideas and
• 14:35
  knowing the process to take an idea and making it fully formed
• 14:43
  is enough for the Architect to evolve to level up.
• 14:52
  The Architect is the foundation of all great leaders.
• 14:57
  But what if the Architect is only the beginning?
• 15:03
  I want you to imagine seeing that Level 1 version of you
• 15:08
  levelling up, see it morphing, standing taller, shoulders back,
• 15:16
  voice steady and eyes clear. I want you to see a version of
• 15:20
  you with more authority, more influence, an identity that
• 15:27
  turns clarity into action, plans into movement and systems into
• 15:34
  results. And I want you to see that this
• 15:39
  version of you seems like they have a new level of discipline,
• 15:47
  organization and focus. And imagine stepping into that
• 15:52
  version of you, that level 2. And notice when you feel
• 15:59
  disciplined and become organised and are focused, those old
• 16:07
  impulses of the past become almost like background noise,
• 16:13
  irrelevant because this version of you is on a mission and
• 16:20
  nothing will deter you from that mission.
• 16:29
  And I want you to imagine that this level of you can also level
• 16:33
  up. I want you to imagine having
• 16:38
  some kind of system to take an idea to research in, to really
• 16:45
  flesh out the details I have the confidence to present in.
• 16:51
  And in doing so, this becomes a puzzle inside of a game.
• 16:57
  How can you capture, cultivate, and present good ideas?
• 17:04
  Ideas that enhance other ideas that solve problems, that add
• 17:09
  value. And while you're working on that
• 17:13
  project, feel like your avatar, your character is elevating
• 17:22
  feelings of leadership even more.
• 17:26
  Discipline. Just dial it up.
• 17:30
  Confidence oozes to the next level.
• 17:34
  And this version of you is tenacious, communicates well.
• 17:39
  You bring others with you with you on your idea.
• 17:45
  You are influence in motion as you feel the shift from thinking
• 17:52
  to directing, from ideas to execution, and from planning to
• 17:59
  leading. And just imagine one of your
• 18:06
  ideas gets the go ahead. Some people believe that the
• 18:12
  journey itself prepares you for the destination.
• 18:15
  And when you get that green light, that extra
• 18:20
  responsibility, I want you to imagine it unlocks the
• 18:27
  strategist within you. Imagine seeing yourself like
• 18:32
  someone else to begin with, and see that version of you.
• 18:41
  It stands tall, but not in front of tasks, but above the entire
• 18:46
  landscape of your life and your career.
• 18:50
  Because the strategist sees the long game, the patterns, the
• 18:56
  leverage points, those opportunities that are there but
• 19:01
  other people can't see. And I want you to see how that
• 19:06
  strategy is conducts himself, perhaps with discernment and
• 19:12
  high standards, perhaps with the new level of dedication,
• 19:18
  determination and perseverance. Because this is the part of you
• 19:25
  that embodies vision and strategy.
• 19:29
  Not short term tactics, but long term clarity.
• 19:34
  This version of you is the conductor that has the ability
• 19:38
  to orchestrate results through influence rather than effort.
• 19:45
  Step into that version of you. Become the strategist and feel
• 19:51
  that vision expanding. Feel strategy activating.
• 19:57
  Feel a deeper intelligence awakening.
• 20:01
  The kind of intelligence that just knows that you don't need
• 20:05
  to do more. You just need to think more
• 20:11
  strategically, and as the strategy steps fully into place,
• 20:18
  there is one final identity that becomes your final evolution in
• 20:28
  this game. I want you to imagine that by
• 20:33
  leading your own project, the kind of project that needed
• 20:39
  resources and people and buy in, you took a risk and it's paying
• 20:44
  off. This awakens the strategist king
• 20:54
  at regal part within you. It enhances the strategist even
• 21:01
  more because that version of you is the integrated, elevated,
• 21:07
  evolved self. Consider this the culmination of
• 21:14
  all four archetypes, the Architect, the commander, the
• 21:23
  strategist, and then finally the Strategist king.
• 21:31
  And this identity stands with presence, power, clarity and
• 21:38
  calm authority. Some people consider Steve Jobs
• 21:47
  as the perfect example of the strategist King.
• 21:53
  Didn't have all the answers themself, but could build teams,
• 21:57
  create a vision, see the big picture, see how the dots all
• 22:04
  connected. And I want you to see that
• 22:07
  version of you as the strategist king.
• 22:14
  That version of you can almost see the future clearly, can
• 22:19
  design the path intelligently, commands not through hierarchy
• 22:28
  but with integrity, influences with confidence, leads with
• 22:34
  vision, acts with discipline, can easily avoid impulses and
• 22:45
  distractions because they don't need temporary gratification.
• 22:53
  Their eye is on the prize of the future that they are building
• 22:57
  and creating. This version of you creates
• 23:03
  inevitability, not effort. This version of you moves
• 23:09
  through life with purpose and presence, not the magpie getting
• 23:15
  distracted by shiny things. This is not your future because
• 23:24
  this is the version of you that others follow effortlessly.
• 23:28
  The version of you that shapes your environment rather than
• 23:32
  reacting to it. The version of you that embodies
• 23:36
  both mastery and direction. You ooze competency even if
• 23:44
  you're not doing but leading. And I want you to imagine
• 23:51
  merging, stepping into this elevated identity, allow it to
• 23:59
  imprint itself into your unconscious mind, almost like
• 24:03
  it's installing itself as the new operating system, levelling
• 24:09
  up to enable you to deal with bigger challenges ahead.
• 24:16
  And as you think of those old video games with puzzles and
• 24:20
  problems, the version of you that can complete level 1
• 24:26
  wouldn't be able to complete a later level unless you evolved
• 24:31
  on the journey. The skills you learn on the way
• 24:36
  prepare you for what comes next. So allow these qualities to
• 24:42
  settle into you now. Each word may create a sensation
• 24:49
  of feeling a belief, feel visionary, feel strategic,
• 24:59
  credible, awaken the leader, confidence, competency, harness
• 25:13
  all of the communication skills to be influential, and by having
• 25:19
  high standards, feel disciplined and feel them fused together
• 25:28
  into a single identity. The strategist King.
• 25:35
  This is who you are becoming, this is who you are stepping
• 25:39
  into, and this is who your future demands you be.
• 25:47
  And I want you to imagine yourself maybe a year or two
• 25:50
  from now living life that way and see how every area of your
• 25:58
  life is enhanced, how your career is enhanced, more
• 26:03
  responsibilities, more influence, how your health is
• 26:07
  enhanced through better decisions, how your confidence
• 26:14
  and self esteem has just exploded.
• 26:20
  And then return, return to that lounger, feet in the water, and
• 26:30
  just get a deep sense that your future is bright.
• 26:38
  And because you've primed yourself to move in this way,
• 26:43
  don't be surprised if ideas, insights come to you as
• 26:51
  premonitions, epiphanies, Eureka moments.
• 26:56
  They will be fleeting. So when they come, capture them.
• 27:00
  Write them down, dictate them, bank them.
• 27:06
  Because they will give you everything you need to create
• 27:12
  the ideas that will take you in this direction.
• 27:20
  Because sometimes, and in some places, people believe that when
• 27:30
  you set a magnificent goal, the universe conspires in your
• 27:37
  favour. You have clarity on your future,
• 27:45
  the kind of person you will be, not necessarily the things you
• 27:50
  will do. And now allow the universe to
• 27:56
  conspire in your favour. It's time to imagine leaving
• 28:03
  that sun lounger, but as you walk on that soft white sand
• 28:10
  where the sand meets the water, imagine walking like that future
• 28:15
  version of you that already embodies these qualities.
• 28:22
  I want you to get a feeling that the journey does prepare you for
• 28:27
  the destination. You don't have to have all the
• 28:31
  answers of what happens in the future.
• 28:34
  Now just be willing to solve each stage, each level of the
• 28:40
  game with all the resources you have until you get to the next
• 28:46
  level. It's time to float back to the
• 28:50
  present. But take all of these changes
• 28:52
  with you, understanding that this has been a journey in your
• 28:57
  imagination, a journey of archetypes and identities, of
• 29:02
  qualities in your future. A journey of dreams within
• 29:06
  dreams, thoughts within thoughts, and ideas within
• 29:10
  ideas. So take a deep breath in through
• 29:13
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 29:18
  Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, connect and calibrate
• 29:22
  into the here and the now. As I now count from 1:00 to
• 29:27
  10:00 to awaken you. You will return fully in the
• 29:31
  present with a sense of clarity, optimism, and vision.
• 29:37
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456.
• 29:42
  More alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 29:45
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 29:52
