Leadership Coaching and Elite Performance Programmes
BUILDING CONFIDENT CRISIS LEADERSHIP
In a crisis, leaders often experience the most intense pressure they have ever faced. Under enough pressure, everyone’s performance deteriorates or breaks down. However, performance breakdown is not the same for everyone.
Our Scientific Team of internationally renowned sport scientists knows that preparing a leader optimally for the toughest situations requires an approach that puts individual differences, i.e., personality, biases, and relationship with pressure to the fore.
Our world-first Elite Performance Programme, based on performance psychology developed coaching the World Cup winning England Cricket team and now applied across a range of elite sports, helps leaders to gain a deep understanding of their instinctive pressure responses and how to work with them to perform at their best.
To put what they learn to the test, our crisis experts create simulated live crisis scenarios. These challenge leaders in a safe-to-fail, high pressure performance environment, stretching response capability, capacity, tactical thinking and strategic decision making in an accelerated timeframe.
“Our Elite Performance Programme is personalised for each participant, and we have honed it over many years of coaching elite sportspeople to succeed in the top levels of global competition.
“First, we generate an in-depth understanding of your personality and, most importantly, your relationship with pressure. Our psychologists then come together for a case conference, which we believe is unique in the field of senior leadership professional development programmes. Here we discuss every aspect of your individual profile and prepare for in-depth, one-to-one feedback sessions, where we share your strengths and biases as well as personal strategies for how to perform optimally in high pressure situations.
“Time and time again we have seen this build confidence and resilience that enables those facing perhaps their greatest personal challenge to perform at their very best.
