Performance coaching is not to be taken to mean simply as coaching an individual or group so that he/they may be able to do a particular job or task such as screwing in the lens of a turn signal lamp. It is a rather complicated process involving four (4) performance spheres; psychology, productivity, recovery and physiology. It is complicated because if these four performance spheres are each taken as a separate and distinct area without any inter-relationship with the other three, they cannot impact deeply in an individual or group in the workplace or elsewhere. An in-depth analysis and understanding of each of the performance areas in relation to an individual’s personal and professional goals is a must, taking into account his current situation. This will make creating a performance coaching program tailored to the individual’s needs possible. The four performance management areas are functionally labelled in the following manner for easy reference: • Psychology – to optimise thinking • Productivity – boosting output • Recovery – to regulate stress • Physiology – to maximise health The terms sound so simple especially with functions opposite each. But, boy, it is really complicated that it is difficult to talk about them if you are not an expert. If you really want sustained high productivity or performance in the workplace or on the sports field, do find experts and hire them as consultants. They design and conduct coaching programs for individuals and training programs for groups with a diary-like monitoring for progress until performance becomes second nature to you. In simple layman’s terms, it is like this. Every person is a unique individual with unique experiences and exposures that define him as a person. These differences are the stumbling blocks for most coaches to draw out the skills and true strength of each of the players in their sports teams. The same holds true for office staff or plant workers whom supervisors and managers each regard as the same kind of employee. Despite “understanding” of professional and technical skills written on each employee’s résumé, workplaces still fail to draw out maximum productivity from its workforce. The performance coaching consultant studies each individual according to current situations vis-à-vis the four pillars of performance management. Based on this information, a performance coaching program is designed specifically for the subject and progress is monitored with the subject actively involved. Making the subject aware of where he is lacking and where he is strong facilitates success of the program. A successful performance coaching program results in the individual very clear about his personal and professional goals. It is control on what he focuses on at what time, day or month that makes him a fully-realised highly productive individual – at whatever field he is.
