Personal
Performance Coaching – For Life and Career
If you long for a more fulfilling existence, it’s time
to place emphasis on the important dimensions of your
life: your sense of performance, balance, and the
ability to embrace the challenges that come your way.
Your working life is one of those dimensions – usually a
big one. Our personal performance coaching programs will help you prepare for
and benefit from career re-entry, advancement, and
transitions.
Life Performance /
Balance
Often it is the small things that make the biggest
impact! Together, through personal performance coaching, we’ll hold you accountable to yourself
and remove the invisible stumbling blocks you may have
gotten used to!
Prevent Burn Out and Stress In Your Life and Work.
Together we'll take a closer look at the sources of your
overwhelm and tackle them by making small and consistent
changes, bringing your life back into the right balance
for you.
Say Goodbye to Broken Commitments.
We waste a lot of time and energy struggling with
commitments we are either not committed to or regretful
about having made in the first place. Instead, we need
to honor them and commit to them fully, change them to
be more aligned with our needs, or eliminate them.
Personal performance coaching
will reshape your commitments to work for your life,
including your ability to simply say ‘no.'
The Secret to Accomplishing More In Less Time.
In order to do this you need four things: 1) a clear
vision of what you want to achieve, 2) a
solid plan of action that breaks down activities into
manageable tasks, 3) to leverage the resources you
already have available to you, 4) to hold yourself
accountable to your goals and plan. Together, we'll
cover all of these as personal performance coaching
helps you become more efficient and
effective without working harder or longer.
Preparing A Move to the ‘Next Level'?
So what's stopping you? Being great is often
sacrificed for being adequate. It is easier to be driven
to live our lives at a '10' when we are disgusted with
living at a ‘3' or when a significant event wakes us up.
The hard part is choosing to live at a '10' when life
seems just fine at a ‘7'.
Often we are held back by fears, concerns and
limitations we place upon ourselves, even when they
don't exist in reality. We make up scenarios with less
than ideal outcomes and then treat them as if they are
destined to occur. Together we'll explore and prepare
for different potential outcomes, and focus on not being
so attached to a specific result or single way of
getting there. We'll uncover what you need to do to set
yourself up for success and we'll tackle your concerns,
limitations, and with personal performance coaching other obstacles on your journey to get
there.
Create the Habit of Completing What You Start and
Following Through on Your Goals.
Together we will reevaluate the many aspects of your
life, uncovering your true priorities and goals, and
work to refocus your energy into those areas that are
most important to you. Personal performance coaching
helps you clearly determine your
immediate, short and longer term goals and develop a
plan of action that keeps you moving towards them week
over week.
Personal Performance Coaching Removes the Invisible Blocks That Keep Stopping You.
Sometimes we make assumptions about what is
possible, feasible or reasonable and we empower these
barriers as if they were the ‘truth'. Often, blocks are
driven by fears, insecurities, lack of confidence and
the unknown. We'll work together to break down these
barriers and overcome these blocks, renewing the sense
of possibility that puts you into action.
The Benefit Behind Blocks and Conflicts.
Blocks and conflicts are opportunities. What stops
us in one part of our life usually stops us in other
parts as well. Overcome these blocks in one area and you
will gain new freedom and power in another. It is in
this personal performance coaching process that you uncover the magic that leads to
transformation of your life and career resulting in
improved performance in all areas of your life.
Starting Over in Life – the Challenge of
Self-Renewal.
New beginnings can take many forms. Sometimes new
beginnings are sparked by events in our lives –
marriage, breakups, birth, death of a loved one,
surviving an accident or other trauma, etc. But mostly,
we live each day like we did yesterday and soon the days
start to blend together. We say things like ‘one day
I'll do this' or ‘some day I'll do that' but those days
never come and months and then years melt off the
calendar. There is no magical destination called
“Someday Isle”!
With Personal performance coaching, you CAN create new beginnings in your life – without
depending on a life event to be your wakeup call. If you
have recently experienced a life event, we'll work
together to define the changes you want in your life and
manage the transition from the ending of the current
situation to the beginning of the new one.

The Storms”. It may provide something for you.

Re-Entering the Workforce
The biggest challenge anyone faces when returning to the
marketplace are the fears they harbor within, especially

skills have diminished in a professional

explore a hobby or a new job

Career Transitions
80% of people are not satisfied in their work.*
Don’t be one of them!
We can help you design your ideal career and develop a
plan of action to make it a reality.
Use Your Experience and Skills to Change Careers.
Many of the skills you currently have are portable
to almost any situation. There are also many ways to
develop needed skills and gain required experience in
the field or industry you want to shift into. Together
through personal performance coaching,
we'll figure out the best actions for you to take so you
are prepared and ready to make the change.
Learn How to Identify What You Want to Do Next.
Together we will clarify what your ideal life and
career looks like by uncovering the many elements of
your passions, skills, talents and preferences and
breaking through your self-imposed limitations of what
is possible.
Recently been laid off or are in between jobs?
After getting laid off, it's natural to feel a whole
range of feelings – shock, upset, fear, anger, shame and
overall disorientation. Know that for awhile, you may
feel like you're on a roller coaster. See this as just a
point in time in your life and consider it an
opportunity to rethink your career direction and goals.
Fears and assumptions can make us feel trapped in our
current situations. Use this time to broaden your
horizon to include new fields, industries and
situations. If you jump back into any job that presents
itself, you will most likely end up unsatisfied and
unhappy. Take the time now to explore all of the many
elements that make up your ideal career or you will
likely suffer later.
Don’t Stay Trapped in Your Current Job!
Financial concerns, fear of the unknown, and
complacency are all enemies of positive change. Career
transitions take courage. Often we make assumptions
(i.e. I'll have to start all over, or I can't make money
doing that) but these assumptions aren't necessarily the
truth. We just act as if they are true and they stop us
in our tracks. They become blocks to action and
ultimately to our success. Together we will work through
these blocks and create new possibilities where you
currently don't see any. We'll look inside your
assumptions and separate the facts from feelings and
beliefs. Together, we'll figure out ways to make things
work for you.
