Performance Coaching
I have worked with actors, singers, professionals, sports people, and people who are just looking to improve their current situation. If you are looking to improve an aspect of your career, leadership, relationships, acting/singing performance, or sporting achievement then utilising some key models, tips, techniques, and knowledge may be the answer.
The focus may be to increase confidence, presentation skills, focus, motivation, concentration, communication skills, improving relaxation, goal setting, values, rapport, or performance. Whatever area it may be that you are looking to improve in working out your next steps can be crucial.
These may be:
- To identify and isolate obstacles that negatively affect the achievement of your true potential
- To discover and set practical, meaningful, and achievable goals and objectives
- To develop new skills that are relevant and effective
- To identify and maximize valuable and useful strengths
- To identify and develop approaches to encounter and overcome weaknesses
- To develop a better understanding of personal needs wants, and desires within the framework of working in some context, such as a relationship or teamwork in an organisation
- To become more sensitive to and better understanding of the reactions and emotions of other people
- To develop the skills to inspire and work with a team seeking success.
- To identify and develop effective ways to approach and overcome negative thoughts and behaviours
This could be for:
- Relationships – to work out what are you looking for, how to improve communication or better understand each other so you work together in harmony.
- Career – where am I now, where do I want to be and more important how ill I get there.
- Teams & Leadership – How do I take a team that is I do not understand and shape them into a performing team
- Performing – Overcoming stage fright and connecting with congruent emotions that will add to my performance and take it to the next level
- Sports – Focus, drive, and determination, to take your achievements to the next level
How do we do this
Having worked in the corporate field of management development, succession planning as well as in the Sports, Executive and Life Coaching I utilise practical experience and well as tried and tested models and modalities that focus on behaviours to understand what it is you want to achieve and create the best approach for you as an individual, utilising your strengths and learning to improve the areas you wish to develop.

Areas of Performance Coaching
Empty section. Edit page to add content here.
Sports
When we refer to Sports Performance Coaching we do not look at the specific skills of the sport, but the often neglected mental aspects of sport.
As a sports coach as well as a life, wellbeing and performance sport I have a great understanding of wat is required to improve personal performance and achievement.
There are often steps that are missed pout by just focusing on physical skill set, but when harnessed can add several minimal gains, which can all add up to significant gains.
I have worked with several performers to assist them in making these changes.
Working together we look at how to create a positive focused mindset to work in parallel with all the skill and conditioning training you currently undertake.
Areas that are covered include:
- Performance breathing – Oxygen Advantage, this not only improves physical performance,. with simulated altitude training but has great mental benifits as well.
- Sleep hygiene – understand the importance of sleep, how it affects performance and more importantly how to improve it.
- Mindset – Reframe your outlook to set goals, focus, motivation and determination.
- Language – depending on the words you use, they can have a very positive or negative effect on you. Cut out the negative and promote the positive.
- Visualisation – learn how to enhance reactions and physical feelings during performance to gain the results you want.
- Beliefs – hugely powerful, ensure your beliefs in your ability are aligned according to what you want to achieve.
Sessions are available on a one to one basis or check out our 1 day, 2 day and 5 day courses.
Career
Career coaching can be highly valuable at any time in your professional life.
I have worked in the commercial, charity and public sectors in senior management positions, responsible for building and leading teams, overseeing large projects and programmes, management development, coaching and succession planning.
This experience along with formal training and qualification gives me a great insight into career performance coaching.
Whether you are working out what you want to do when starting out, changing direction or refocusing. This can be challenging on your own, due to your learned perspectives potentially tripping you up.
In this situation we would look and focus on things like goal setting with a grow model, values, beliefs, prioritisation and then enabling tools such as focus builders, motivation and visualisation techniques.
Career coaching can also be related as career performance, where there may be aspects you wish to improve such as leadership, staff interactions, communications, presentations, delegation, confidence, promotion preparation and interviews to name but a few.
Get in touch in you have any questions in regards to how I can help you.
Performing
Over the years I have worked with Actors and Singers in assisting them with varying aspects of the performances.
This may be for:
- Performance anxiety
- Auditions
- Self-regulation
- Focus
- Concentration
- Performance recovery strategies
- Wellness maintenance
- Breathing improvement
- Motivation
- Visualisation
One to One sessions are available or Group Workshops can be arranged.
Relationships
Relationships are complex things and have to be worked at.
As soon as you enter into a relationship you are no longer the only one involved. If you compare a relationship to flowers. A bunch of flowers out of the florist looks amazing, all pretty, organised, smells good, dressed up and exciting to give and receive. However no matter how much you care for that bunch of flowers it will not last!
A pot plant however, can also look amazing, pretty, organised, smell good, dressed up and exciting to give and receive but it to will have days when it looks worse for wear, not very good. The difference is with a pot plant you can do something about it.
By understanding the needs of the plant you can care for it. It needs watering, feeding, the right conditions, occasional repotting as it grows and nurturing.
In doing this the pot plant can last for years and years, but it takes effort.
All to often in relationships we like the pretty early stages but we don’t understand how to get over the difficult periods.
Working with relationships can be with the you as an individual looking at a variety of areas in your life, so you better understand who you are, what it is you want and create a plan in how to achieve these things. Areas such as communication, prioritisation, self care, future planning, perspective and acceptance are all key for this.
Alternatively it can be as a couple working through things together. Possibly focusing on a certain aspect of your relationship, but with a coach to pose and ask questions to assist you both in looking at the situation from a different perspective and nurturing understanding from both partiers perspective.
