LIVESTREAMED - Releasing a Performance Mindset: Balancing Proficiency, Presence, and Partnership

In our metrics-driven, bottom-line oriented world, people can become overly fixated on results and outcomes. This emphasis manifests in the coaching partnership with clients expecting tangible results and coaches feeling pressured to deliver value.

Of course, it’s important that you can point to evidence that goals were met, and desired change was achieved. The challenge is when the pursuit of that evidence comes at the expense of sustainable transformation and attending to the totality of the client’s being.

The drive towards results is present in the work of new and experienced coaches alike. You’ll benefit from the presenter’s experience and training as both a musician and coach to learn how performance anxiety is a natural response to having high expectations of our work and how that energy can be productively redirected.

Together we'll explore how the tension between performance and presence expresses itself and look at that tension through an ethical and competency lens. Through discussion designed to facilitate self-awareness, we’ll look at the impact our performance mindset has on our capacity to be skillful coaches for our clients, and you will be asked to consider your own barriers to presence and partnership. Through self-reflection and group discussion, you will learn how to redirect any existing performance mindset into a productive, healthy growth mindset that supports your ongoing well-being and your clients’ development.
