What Does a Session Look Like?
Performance coaching is a confidential one-on-one process designed to support professional growth, improve communication and effectiveness, clarify goals, strengthen accountability, and help functional individuals perform at a higher level.
Based on the needs of the employee, performance coaching can move in and out of the three types of coaching at the employee’s discretion.
3 Types of Coaching:
- Traditional Performance Coaching → Everyday workplace performance
- Leadership Coaching & Consult → Strategic leadership and organizational challenges
- Performance Psychology → Deeper personal patterns that influence performance
Regardless of the type of coaching used, employees have the option to implement two science-based interventions: HeartMath® to train and build nervous system regulation and Mind-Body Alignment (MBA) Method™ to transform and heal old wounds. Together, high performers and leaders are equipped with discreet practical techniques to regulate their internal state and perform effectively in moments that matter most.
Data Collection
Though the sessions are confidential, data derived from coaching engagement trends and organizational themes will be aggregated into anonymized organizational metrics. These insights are aggregated and will never identify or be traceable to any individual. Aggregated reporting shall be limited to generalized organizational patterns, operational themes, utilization trends, and non-identifiable developmental observations.
These results will be presented at the Quarterly Review for Senior Leadership, where the anonymized data collections are shared providing clearer visibility into performance patterns, identification of root causes, and targeted recommendations to improve operations and leadership.
