Conversations with… Pru Chapman

Coffee.  Hands down.  I take it short and strong (kind of like me).  Sometimes I try and trick myself into tea, but coffee always courageously comes out on top.

I’m always surrounded by blue.  I find it to be the perfect balance between a sense of calm and inspiration in my world.  I’m also a water baby, and swimming in the sea with a blue sky above is my favourite place to be.

{jenious: We share your love of blue, and the power of water. The energy of both are very powerful & inspiring! }

Start with Why by Simon Sinek.  I’m a firm believer that our ‘why’ should drive everything that we do.  If we lose our ‘why’ we lose our purpose, so it is so important to connect daily with our ‘why’.

Opening the floodgates to human potential.  I am constantly amazed, inspired, and having my breath taken away by what people are capable of.  I am privileged and humbled to often be a part of the journey with my clients.  I’m also extraordinarily passionate about coffee (refer to question 1), health, fitness and travel.  My partner is Brazilian so we travel to Brazil annually, and when we’re home if I’m not at Crossfit, you’ll find me running, swimming, hiking or snowboarding!

{jenious: And this is what draws me in. We are all capable of our own potential! We just have to aspire to grow & learn}

Inspired by possibility.

I started my journey in the field of Psychology in 1998, and after finishing my degree went into research and then clinical practice.  While I loved the variety and challenge of psychology in private practice I have had a long obsession with peak performance.  My curiosity about what enables people to get to the top of their game, in life, in work, and all worthy pursuits led me to coaching.  I’m thrilled now that my work keeps me dancing at the edge of my own potential, and to be working with clients who are as passionate as me about fulfilling their potential.  I work athletes, business owners, teams and everyday individuals to really turbo charge their results.

I operate primarily across the Sports, Travel, Adventure & Creative industries – all of which are strong interests of mine, so I am passionate about working within. Also, my foundations in psychology really provide a firm base for the personal transformation of my clients – coaching can go anywhere and my breadth and depth of experience provides a supportive and stimulating journey for my clients.

It is truly being witness to the transformation in my client’s lives, and the flow on effect to those around them.  Peak Performance Coaching involves everything from awareness, mindset shift, focus, through to communication, personal and team development. Through the journey of an individual transformation everyone around benefits including colleagues, team members, families and partners.  I love the ripple effect.
