The SyncEffect Idea
In 2016, looking for a broader field in which to apply her unique gift for inspiring athletes to reach higher, Sheilagh Croxon founded SyncEffect, an organization aimed at inspiring individuals in all fields of endeavour to create a higher level of excellence in their work and lives.
While the services of SyncEffect vary with the needs of the client, each springs from a common philosophy: that excellence is not all about technique, it is primarily about mindset. About discovering and developing one’s own potential … and the powerful changes that come with it.
Currently, the SyncEffect philosophy is at work in these four core areas.
