Performance Coaching – Episode 6: Thank You

 

When the spotlight hits, preparation makes the difference. Whether it’s an aspiring Broadway performer or a business leader preparing for a high-stakes meeting, success hinges on readiness and self-awareness. Performance coaching, common in sports and entertainment, is gaining momentum in the business world as companies realize the value of deliberate preparation. Research indicates that combining training with coaching can lead to an average productivity increase of 86%, compared to a 22% increase from training alone.

So, how can businesses harness performance coaching to prepare leaders for their defining moments? What lessons can professionals take from the intense preparation that fuels success on stage and in sports?
