Performance Coaching

Performance coaching offers a specialized approach to helping clients achieve optimal performance in their chosen field. This type of coaching is incorporated into all our executive coaching work with business leaders and entrepreneurs – as well as being the primary focus of our work with elite athletes, musicians, actors, and others seeking to achieve high levels of success.

Clients who benefit from performance coaching typically arrive with well recognized high potential, along with ambitious goals. To achieve peak performance, this talent and determination must be focused by way of a strategic and structured approach.

Every coaching client is different, of course. We all have our own strengths, aptitudes, communication styles, and preferences. At Pracademic Coaching, we believe in getting to know each client individually and deploying the coaching methods that will help you achieve your best performance.

Overcoming obstacles to peak performance

Controlling anxiety is commonly part of peak performance coaching. Feelings of anxiety can be massive barriers to success — stage fright, second-guessing, comparing self to others, over-analyzing, procrastination, doubt.

We help coaching clients understand their personal response to various stressors and situations. With this deeper understanding, it’s possible to learn strategies and techniques that effectively alter our attitudes and behaviors to unlock peak performance.

Doubling down on strengths to thrive

Over time, as we remove barriers to our success, Pracademic Coaching plans focus more time and resources on leveraging your strengths than addressing your weaknesses.

When clients are uniquely good at something, we believe in doubling down on that particular skill. The benefit gained by doubling down on your strengths is significantly greater than the value of incrementally improving at your weaknesses.

It also has the added benefit of helping you thrive. We all tend to enjoy our work more, get more satisfaction, and achieve higher levels of performance when we do the things we’re great at doing.

Thinking ahead to act now

This is Pracademic Coaching’s unique strength. We combine psychology and practical management expertise to help our clients envision the desired future state, and then use that vision to act with conviction in the present.

Envisioning your own peak performance is a potent source of motivation. Knowing where you’re headed gives you confidence in your decision-making and actions now, and the foresight to anticipate and overcome challenges along the way.
