Performance coaching is for the athlete, the musician, the speaker, the teacher, the leader, or simply the person applying for a new job or higher position. There are multiple avenues where one desires to improve how they perform in a given situation. Because everything we do in life is performance, the coach is here to support the most desirable outcome for the client by aiding them in gaining mastery.
We live in a very competitive world, so it’s only natural that we think success occurs only when a performance is flawless, perfect, and without incident. This mindset can produce pressure, stress, comparing self to others, judgments, and feelings of failure. But what if you shifted your mindset to mastery and saw it in a totally different light? What if you focused on the pleasure and satisfaction from the task at hand by realizing there is no such thing as perfection? Instead of being concerned about the outcome, your mindset is one of relaxed energy and a willingness to become more competent and highly skilled, thus continuing to learn and grow.
It is not about the end performance but about continuing to learn throughout all of the performances. The development of a plan of mastery helps you to increase your energy before, during, and after your performance so you can access the true authentic you. Performing becomes a journey of thriving and mastery, resulting in higher levels of consciousness which contribute to your finding joy, purpose, peaceful flow, and your ultimate masterful performance.
