COACH for Peak Performance

Today, the most effective organizations are learning organizations—settings in which individuals and teams are able to adapt to continually changing environments—act decisively while in uncharted territory, uncover opportunities where others see only chaos, and perform at their best when the stakes are highest. To meet these challenges, and to sustain high performance in today’s competitive environment, an organization must create a culture that promotes and supports learning and coaching at all levels and in any direction.

Performance coaching provides invaluable tools for achievers at all levels of an organization. When there is a “coaching culture” within the organization—one in which there is no tolerance for mediocre performance, and where asking for and offering coaching is encouraged—remarkable results can be accomplished.

“Barnes & Conti Associates’ C.O.A.C.H for Performance training was taught with a varied and rich approach. Trainers customized the session to suit HR teams’ needs by using real life examples and allowed opportunities for colleagues to practice using Barnes & Conti training strategies and tools. I am confident the tools taught will be immediately implemented on the job.”

The COACH Program:

Performance is purposeful, involves preparation, happens in real time, is public and observable; the results affect the strategic goals of organizations, teams, and individuals. C.O.A.C.H. for Peak Performance builds on the knowledge and experience of those who coach outstanding individuals and teams preparing for important performances or competitions. The successful conduct of business is as much a performance art as world-class skiing, ballet, debates, or basketball. Ideas are sold, sales are won, careers are made on the basis of performance. When we are focused on an important upcoming performance, our desire to learn and improve skills is at its peak. In this program, we show you how to take advantage of this readiness to create a successful coaching relationship, and to achieve outstanding performance and business results. C.O.A.C.H. is an acronym for the skills that participants learn in the workshop.
