Performance coaching for Executives

Out of the self-optimisation trap and towards meaningful fulfilment

We live in a world where self-optimisation no longer only leads to success in competitive sport, but is also the means of choice for many in the race for external beauty, jobs, popularity and influence in the social environment. An entire trend has emerged. Where continuous improvement makes sense and has its home in organisations and society, it should remain and be valued. However, when it spills over and becomes a means of seeking recognition and love, it becomes a cause for concern. Psychological tensions and crises arise in the desperate struggle for more recognition. If this does not succeed, disappointment, depression and emptiness threaten. Nothing speaks against improving oneself, deepening knowledge and relationships.

Mental strength for professional success

Decoupling your own performance from good values and fulfilment of meaning is almost dangerous for mental health. Comprehensibility, manageability and fulfilment of meaning make you healthy and happy. Therefore, think more in terms of mental health pillars such as exercise, nutrition, mental hygiene through healthy emotions, sleep, meditation, grounding and connectedness in autonomy. Understood in this way, self-optimisation is a natural result of inner processes and does not confuse the means with the end. You may even now be able to sense your older and more meaningful self and sense what kind of natural energy, what your truer self actually wants to express and what performance in which life you desire.

Let's talk...

In performance coaching you recognise: your performance has something to do with your mental strength and self-management.

Sometimes those around you actually recognise more precisely what your blind spots are, what would do you good and what you lack. These are the cases where managers look critically at their area of responsibility and immediately realise who needs to be strengthened. Developing your mental strength is much easier if you have first worked with a professional performance coach to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of your personality, with all its light and dark sides. Where should the journey take you? Where are you standing in your own way? What scares you where you could use courage? What do you want to change but find yourself in a loop of failure and why do you lack your highly personal ‘why and what for’ as much as a thirsty person needs water? We can work on that. Come into your power by facing your burdens and adversities, stop running in the hamster wheel and try to understand yourself better in your wishes and desires. Natural energy and performance arise when your head, heart and gut say yes to your plans or your life design. Courage in its many guises of

Generosity
pusillanimity
Equanimity
Long-suffering
gentleness

will not diminish if you take plenty of it. You will see the results.

Performance coaching works with meaningfulness and enthusiasm

The same applies to other energies such as meaningfulness and enthusiasm. They do not diminish once you have found their content. What is important and meaningful to you? What inspires you? Dive deep into this and find your why in the meaningfulness for you. This journey to yourself is the central content of performance coaching. Looking at the misery when you find a context miserable and repulsive and you can no longer, with the best will in the world, motivate yourself to look at the constraints you find yourself in, in a familiar space, helps you to confront yourself. ‘You can't expect different results if you do the same old thing,’ or something similar. Finding a different, strong, happy way of dealing with the things that you cannot change relieves the soul. Then you can set out to provide your inner judgements and hunches with more energy, which can carry you through a life of real commitment and performance. Success will then come naturally and unexpectedly and will not be artificially forced.

We work on your integrated vision of yourself, on allowing yourself to be successful and, of course, on your stamina and self-organisation. Self-sabotage is then out, self-acceptance and self-love in. More and more managers have recognised these connections and are embarking on a performance coaching process themselves or allowing their managers or key personnel to do so.

The performance coaching services are available to you in person in my practice in Königswinter or at your premises or online in German and English, so that I can accompany you on your path to greater natural performance and fulfilment.
