You've done the coaching. The therapy. The frameworks. Here's why nothing stuck.

OYOP doesn’t focus on fixing problems or adding more techniques. It helps you clarify and evolve your paradigms: the mental lenses that shape how you think, feel, and act. Once those lenses are clearer, performance, confidence, and balance improve naturally and sustainably.

Most participants notice meaningful improvements during or shortly after the free 90-minute introductory session, such as feeling calmer, clearer, or less reactive.

Lasting changes deepen over time. The full year-long structure allows enough space for real paradigm development: seeing, absorbing, and applying insights progressively rather than forcing quick fixes.

Because genuine mental fitness, like physical fitness, develops through consistent practice, not single breakthroughs. The OYOP process follows the principle of See → Absorb → Do:

• First, you understand new ideas and tools
  
  
• Then, you internalise them emotionally
  
  
• Finally, you apply them consistently in daily life
  
  

This structure ensures growth that endures rather than fading once the programme ends.

Between the five one-day workshops, you’ll receive weekly mental fitness practices. These are short, reflective exercises designed to help you integrate what you’ve learned into real-world situations. Each practice reinforces the tools introduced in the sessions, so change becomes part of your daily rhythm rather than an abstract idea.

All sessions are recorded, and every participant receives access to workshop materials, exercises, and summaries. You’ll also have ongoing support and one-to-one guidance from Ashley, so you can stay aligned with your progress even if you miss a session.

Yes. Many participants are already high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who perform well but want to sustain clarity and energy without burnout. OYOP helps you fine-tune how you think, manage pressure, and make decisions, so success feels lighter and more fulfilling.

That’s perfectly fine. In fact, most OYOP participants have. Those approaches often focus on skills or behaviour, while OYOP works at a deeper level: the paradigms that drive those behaviours. It complements rather than replaces what you’ve already learned, helping you connect the dots and apply insights more effectively.

OYOP’s process is intentionally designed to work with your natural pace of change. Rather than pushing for breakthroughs that can trigger internal friction, it focuses on small, steady updates to your mental lenses. This prevents resistance, builds psychological safety, and allows each insight to take root before you move on, ensuring results that last years, not weeks.

Beyond the workshops, most participants spend about 20–30 minutes per week on guided reflection and practice exercises. They are designed to fit naturally into your day, integrated with the real decisions, relationships, and challenges you are already facing.

That’s completely normal. OYOP isn’t about blind belief. The free 90-minute introductory session lets you experience the process directly, live, meet Ashley, ask questions, and see how the ideas apply to your own life before you commit to anything.

All sessions are led personally by Ashley Bookman, the founder of OYOP and creator of the Paradigm-Centred Coaching™ approach. He brings over 35 years of experience coaching professionals, educators, and NHS teams in developing sustained mental fitness and performance.
