What does it take to balance your life and career?
How are you showing up at work, with your family and friends? Are you thriving under the pressure or finding the sustained effort of high performance is causing pressure fissures to open across the rest of your life?
Bringing together mind, body, and spirit into peak condition, requires high performers to stop, and consciously take the time to review their support mechanisms and thinking patterns. Performance is more than focusing on task-based goals but also requires focusing on the interdependent factors that support behaviours.
In Coaching Psychology, we bring together principles of sport psychology with cognitive behavioural theories to design coaching programs for Peak Performance. We look at performance from a systemic view, through both intrapersonal and interpersonal components. We incorporate the concept of oscillation such as ritualistic stretching and breaking; particularly as recovering both emotional and physical energy is as important as when and how you expend it.
Whether you are an athlete, a high performer or dealing with a stressful life situation, we can balance the following three domains to achieve Peak Performance.
1. Psychological Enhancement and Purpose. The mental agility and ability to optimally perform ‘on the day’. Within this area we work through the thinking patterns, emotions, motivators, values, and sense of purpose.
2. Balance and Rest. Restorative phase for energy and includes a program that links together the phases of pre-performance preparation, performance, and restful recovery. Linking this together ensures efficient recovery, smooths out any performance bumps and stressors, cultivates resilience and enhances coping skills.
3. Cognitive Mental Support. Using a holistic performance pyramid view that links together physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual capabilities. Achieving wellbeing for performance through a range of supported practices and a team of specialist practitioners.
Are you ready to make changes and to invest in yourself with the same focus, determination and practices that athletes use?
