The High Performance Leadership Coach Program

This is a breakthrough program, based on effective, holistic strategies that will achieve genuine and lasting results.

Over a six-month period the High Performance Leadership Program will develop the new skills needed to achieve higher levels of leadership performance and organisational change.

The information, gained through coaching leads to a greater awareness of what is possible. Through practice and repetition that information becomes real knowledge, a deeper understanding based on experience. Then, with the application of the tools provided in this program, it becomes real and permanent change.

The High Performance Leadership Program is results orientated and produces assessed improvements from 20% before the program to 60% after completion. This is in leadership competencies and styles and management of time. Everyone who undertakes the program engages in an experience involving the most advanced techniques for developing human potential in all areas of their lives. It satisfies the individual and the organisations drive to succeed.

The High Performance Leadership Coach Program is designed into FOUR integrated parts

1. Seminar and Learning Workshops (Five Focus Strategies below)

All participants take part in five, one-day seminars, each focused on a separate focus strategy (see below). The learning accomplished in these seminars provides the foundation and motivation for change.

2. 90-Day Self Directed Learning Action Planner

This promotes personal learning and goal setting and is directed towards achieving the ideal leadership and work/life balance. Components include a) 90 Day Self-Directed Leadership Competencies and Styles Action Planner b) 90 Day Self Directed Leadership Routine Action Planner c) 90 Day Self-Directed Leadership Performance Health Action Planner.

3. Personal Leadership Coaching

Individual coaching sessions monitor the progress and maintain focus on the goals, identifying the move towards a higher level of leadership potential. The one on one personal coaching sessions support the implementation of the 90 Day Self Directed Learning Action Planners.

4. High Performance Health Management Program

Stress and strain in the workplace reduces positive moods and causes negative behaviours. Poor health, including lack of energy and vitality impacts and affects over -all performance. Leaders in business must be able to manage stress. It reduces the brains capacity to focus on the task at hand. And a manager must be competent in dealing with others in a way that does not create unreasonable stress. This section of the program concentrates on the effective management of stress and the improvement of overall health and well-being.

The Five Focus Strategies

Underpinning this program is the fact that experiencing excellence or success in one aspect of life is more likely if all of life is balanced.  This is another important point of difference with this program – it focuses on the whole person, their health and well being, leadership and business success and work/life balance and it achieves this through the unique five focus strategies.

Focus Strategy 1.  Ideal Self – Ideal Leadership

In establishing a vision of your ideal self, who you want to be, what you need to change, you will create the motivation for real change. Leaders must connect with what really matters to them before they are able to make consistent, long-term improvements.

Focus Strategy 2.  Leadership Competencies – Discovering New Learning

Significant research indicates the difference between high performing leaders and their teams and low performing leaders and their teams lies in the area of emotional intelligence, their ability to manage and develop people. 

Teams and organisations need leaders that can encourage harmony, co-operation and make effective decisions. Social awareness and empathy are the foundation on which leaders can build and maintain effective relationships with their teams.

Focus Strategy 3.  Leadership Styles – Optimism Under Pressure

This strategy develops six styles of leadership and the ability to use these styles automatically at the right time and in the right situation. Developing the inner value of the leader to the point where they can manage their emotions and stay positive and optimistic even under intense pressure, promotes trust within the team. The ability to use the full leadership repertoire is essential for establishing a corporate culture that brings out the best in its people.

Focus Strategy 4. Leadership Performance – Health, Vitality and Success without Stress

Stress and strain in the workplace inhibit growth and success.  A leader must be able to manage their stress and not create an atmosphere of anxiety and fear. The program places a high value on health and well-being and the link between positivity and performance. This strategy focuses on the management of stress, prevention of disease and improvement in health.

Focus Strategy 5.  Leadership Effectiveness – Managing Ourselves, Time Management, Work/Life Balance

Recent surveys of 1,000 managers found lack of balance between their work and family life was the main reason they were under-performing – a situation often leading to termination or volunteer redundancy.  This points to the inability to manage time and let’s face it, most people do not manage time well.  Here, we help develop positive routines that support better time management. The participants discover how to use time productively, spend less time accomplishing more.
