Emma Murray is renowned as Australia’s leading high performance mind coach and is the founder of High Performance Mindfulness - a practice she has used to guide many notable athletes to greatness. She is considered the ‘secret weapon’ behind Richmond Football Club’s three most recent AFL premierships, Oscar Piastri’s rise to F1 fame, Cate Campbell’s Olympic come-back in Tokyo, Scott McLaughlin’s motorsport domination and Will Pucovski’s Test Cricket debut.
Emma’s work has not only been pivotal in the winning performances on the world and Olympic stage by some of Australia’s best-known athletes, she has been instrumental in transforming the way leading Australian organisations approach high performance.
Emma’s practice is grounded in the science and art of mindfulness and high performance psychology and tried and tested in real life. And not just the lives of Emma’s athletes, but her own life, amid the tragedy of her teenage son’s spinal cord injury – and her family’s story of survival through the use of mindfulness, acceptance and determination.
Emma has over 20 years’ experience and qualifications in psychology (undergrad), mindfulness, and a number of psychotherapy modalities - all leading to the creation of her High Performance Mindfulness practice which equips individuals with the skills to deliver best performance execution through advanced present moment awareness improved emotional regulation and enhanced focus.
Emma’s keynote brings to life her High Performance Mindfulness framework in a way that enables participants to immediately apply the tools amid the rigours and pressures of business and life - with a focus on how to recognise and overcome the unhelpful ‘self-talk’ that can strip us of our strengths when we need them most.
Emma’s workshop dives deeper and introduces participants to the HPM concepts of ‘A-Game’ and ‘B-Game’. The workshop outlines the science of our mind and the wiring that keeps us trapped in our B-Game and steps through how to ‘hack’ this wiring so that we can show up to key performance moments with our best strengths and focus to best execute our process.
Emma’s ability to deliver complex methodology in an extremely practical and tangible way left a lasting impression on our teams. Her skill in connecting with people and using language that ‘stuck’ combined with providing relevant day-to-day tools and practices had a hugely positive impact on everyone involved. The HPM program has helped us better understand how our mind works and enable our people to spend more time in their ‘A-Game’ where they perform at their best more consistently.
XeroWe invest in young high growth companies and the work I have done with Emma has had a significant impact on me and our business more broadly. Understanding how the mind works has empowered me to focus more on the things I can control and as a result be better mentally prepared for important situations - leading to better decisions and business outcomes.
