What is High-Performance Coaching?

One of the services offered by Engage Consulting, is high performance coaching.  I frequently get asked a lot of questions about what this service entails so decided I would write this week’s blog on what high performance coaching is and what it isn’t.

My personal experience with coaching

A few years ago, I was at a crossroads in my healthcare career and hired my own executive coach.  My coach was certified through High Performance Institute’s Certified High-Performance Coaching Program™.  My goal when I started the program was to try to figure out how I could become more engaged in my current role, improve my leadership skills, and continue to advance on the healthcare career ladder.  What I gained from the program was so much more.  I was able to get clarity around what I really wanted, which was to start my own business.  Because I had so much education, training and experience invested into healthcare leadership, I did not think it was possible to make a career change so late in my life.  I also did not believe I would be supported in this decision by my spouse, family, and friends.  With the high-performance coaching program, I gained the skills and tools to increase my levels of influence as well as gain better clarity and confidence around what I truly wanted.  I also gained the ability to be more present and better focused both at work and in my personal life.  I ultimately became more engaged, confident, and happy in all areas of my life because of my coaching experience.   This led me to acquire my own high-performance coaching certification, which combined with my 20+ years of leadership experience, allows me to help other leaders get clarity around their purpose and increase their levels of engagement.

What is coaching?                                                                 

Coaching is an influence process that leads to discovery, decision making, performance improvement, and better living.  Coaching is not therapy or professional medical or psychological advice.

What is high-performance coaching?

High-performance coaching is a form of leadership coaching, and each session is tailored to help reach long-term success while maintaining well-being and relationships.  Specific tools and resources related to increasing levels of focus, clarity, energy, confidence, productivity, and influence are provided during each coaching session. The materials are based on proprietary concepts from High-Performance Institute's Certified High-Performance Coaching Program™.

Who is high-performance coaching for?

High-performance coaching is for executives, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are committed to improving their lives along with participating and fully engaging in the coaching sessions.  Both formal and informal leaders benefit from his program.  Leadership is the ability to influence the behaviors of others which can occur at work, home or within communities and does not require a formal title. 

How It Works
