In conversation with Stephen- James Copp: How to Become the Best Version of You, Starting Today (part 2 of 3)
Welcome back to In Conversation — the Elite Agent Masterclass series with James Humphries-Stone and leading psychological performance coach Stephen-James Copp.
In Part 1, we explored how the brain can be rewired and how stories shape our beliefs. In Part 2, we go deeper: where do these thought patterns actually come from, and how can we begin to change them today?
Stephen shares powerful insights into how subtle experiences in childhood, the words of our parents, or even the dynamics we observe between others can leave lasting imprints. These narratives often grow into the most common limiting belief: “I’m not good enough.”
👉 In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why even loving parents unintentionally plant limiting beliefs
The hidden power of words — “words are spells” that shape identity
How mirror neurons mean children copy what they see, not just what they’re told
Why peers and teachers play a pivotal role in rewriting early stories
How trauma or dysfunction can either drag you down… or drive you to succeed
The difference between compliance and rebellion — and how it shapes adult outcomes
Why journaling, micro-habits, and daily rituals are powerful tools for change
How to use anchors (smell, colour, memory) to lock in positive beliefs
Why no-one is coming to save you — and how to take accountability today
Stephen’s examples range from simple childhood misunderstandings, to sibling rivalries, to how one supportive teacher or coach can flip a lifelong story of self-doubt. His message is clear: awareness, reframing, and small daily wins are the pathway to lasting confidence and performance.
Whether you’re a parent, a leader, or someone looking to break free of unhelpful stories, this episode gives you practical tools you can use immediately.
