Getting Started with High-Performance Coaching
Will you be coming to leadership coaching with a well-developed and written leadership strategy?
If your answer is yes, together, we’ll be coming up with creative new ways to incorporate your newly highlighted leadership strengths into your professional leadership strategy.
If you do not already have a written document of your leadership strategy, we’ll be marrying your identified strengths with your goals and passions into a written-out leadership strategy.
This will be good. We all could benefit from having a leadership strategy that we can update on a quarterly or annual basis. But our leadership strategy, as you likely know, needs regular attention. Treat it like a living document, and it will reflect your current real-time situation. FYI – Wherever you are in your profession, remember not to overdo it, not to push too hard or for too long, which always leads to increases in stress. Unless you live a life of leisure, you likely already have enough pressure in life. Just because you’re putting in 12-16 hour days, that does not equate to high performance. That’s essential to remember.
Leadership & High-Performance Focus
The leadership and the high-performance game isn’t about “who can tolerate the most stress” but efficiently achieving the highest quality output.
This has been researched. Studies show that increases in stress beyond a certain point reduce performance. One of the keys to achieving high performance is searching out and maintaining a level of physical and emotional arousal that is right for you. The “right amount” of stimulation so that you’re working in an ideal environment has just the right amount of stress and the perfect amount of challenge to equal your skill level. And I hope you’re doing work you enjoy.

The Rules of the Game Have Changed
Successfully reduce your stress load in any area of life. Be more effective in your roles, enjoy what you’re doing with a more profound sense of satisfaction, and perform at your absolute best.
Create a “Performance Plan” that will work for you, and get more boxes checked off! A coach can assist you in monitoring your progress and ensure you measure the right things. What are your “key challenges?” Together, we can shed some light on how to subvert difficult circumstances and provide you with a view beyond the road you’re currently driving.
Power Moves
High-performance coaching is a valuable asset. Anton Counseling & Health Psychology will help you create your own personal “power moves.” Align your newly identified strengths from three individual psychological assessments into a new signature move.
Call it your “face of leadership” or think of it as your best possible “reputation.” Either way, we could easily spend an entire year targeting your strengths so that you could be more intentional with their utilization. For our purposes, we’ll look at your most potent powers.
Power Your Future
We routinely aim our efforts toward the quality of the future we desire. As such, I will encourage you to consider the underlying meaning of that quality. You have strengths and preferences, so choose wisely. Read more about High-Performance Coaching. Carefully consider Leadership Coaching, Emotional Intelligence, and other coaching protocols we offer.
