Nerves of Steel
A Powerful Life-Management Program

Dr. Elko's exciting flagship presentation addresses life-changing concepts by explaining the step-by-step processes necessary to guide you. Dr. Elko teaches you how to be mentally tough when times call for it, and how to stay focused on the things that are truly important. It features life-improving strategies, motivation enhancements, and forgiveness strategies.

In today’s culture, everyone is aware of the negative impact of stress, yet the challenges of the stressful environment remain. Today’s workplace, be it an athletic field, a business office, or our home, is more stressful than ever.
In his approach, Dr. Elko discusses the strategy necessary to develop Nerves of Steel, including:

  • the importance of intrinsic motivation- and how to keep motivators front and center.
  • how to focus using specific self-talk
  • how to identify your internal Voice of Judgement (V.O.J.), and how to internally respond to it.

Is I.Q. alone responsible for an individual’s life success? One's ability to focus through adversity, be creative, and maintain motivation, can have a significant influence on one's success and satisfaction.

Why develop Nerves of Steel?
 You will realize how to:

  • Corral the subject of stress and guide yourself through the step-by-step process of focusing on the task at hand similar to how successful athletes focus on the contest at hand.
  • Focus during tense situations: raising children, playing the stock market, or playing a pick-up basketball game.
  • Develop mental skills to properly focus on goals in life.
  • Motivate yourself to act on your goals.

What are the Steps to Building Nerves of Steel?
These steps are discussed in detail in Kevin Elko’s presentation.

  1. Take Responsibility: the ultimate way to disarm anger and regain power.
  2. Live Internally. Only you can control your actions and feelings.
  3. Identify your "68". Find out what makes you tick, and stay focused on it.
  4. Give away your "68". Once you know what you want, give it to others to receive even more!
  5. Think about what you think about: you need to practice and program yourself.
  6. Self Talk. In a "moment of truth", step back, reaffirm and coach yourself through it.
Practice: keep going back to #1 until you are a better you.
