Skills Seminars

(For upcoming dates, click here)

We deliver these programmes as open programmes, as in-house training modules or as integrated components within a team or organisational intervention. The National School for Government use several of these modules on their highly regarded Preparing for Top Management programme. We can tailor these programmes to our client’s specific context and they’re an ideal ‘first taste’ of Performance1’s style and impact.

Performance under Pressure

People are working harder and longer hours than ever before, in leaner organisations wired for 24/7 communication with globally spread colleagues, suppliers and customers. Expectations are higher too, and its tougher than ever to maintain a competitive edge.

We’ve been working with elite athletes since 1992 to help them hone their performance skills to successfully compete at the Olympics. Over the same period we’ve also worked with thousands of people in organisations across business and the public sector, so we know how the performance demands of sport and enterprise are similar and different.

Now we’ve distilled the key elements of performance into a powerful, pragmatic and enjoyable three hour workshop for anyone needing to learn how to thrive under pressure.

Steve T, Change Manager

“Some really positive mental exercises for taking proven elite sport techniques into the business world”

Peter S, Company VP

"Made me reflect more and think holistically (work and home)"

Accounts Manager, national IT company

"In terms of results I think one of the most telling things is the number of friends and other work colleagues I have spoken to about the day. They now expect to see the new mellow me so that puts me under even more pressure!"

A few weeks later......
"Yes I can honestly say my behaviour has changed There have been a couple of potential eruption points in both business and personal arenas and on both occasions I reacted with a surprising calm. Of course the huge upside was that both issues were accordingly resolved much more smoothly."

GM, Assistant Director - Local Council

“A completely new view/insight to performing under pressure”

The Self Aware Sport Psychologist

Have you noticed that the role of sport psychologist is a little more complex than simply teaching mental skills? Or that the relationship you build with athletes and coaches is critical? And have you found that your work also features complicated or even uncomfortable emotions – both yours and your clients? This highly experiential workshop will help you create and maintain more effective and influential working relationships. How? By challenging the belief that we work in a purely objective world, we’ll explore how your emotions, experiences and biases play a key part in your interaction with clients.

“Excellent facilitators – insightful, articulate, very respectful and non-directive. Excellent role modelling of self awareness.”

ABC: Awareness Brings Change

Despite receiving feedback and knowing that it’s important to change, most people struggle to actually change their behaviour. This session helps to reveal and address the hidden competing commitments that often block growth and development.

“very thought provoking” - GM, Assistant Director, Local Council

“Excellent, helped me unlock a current challenge” - MK, CIO

"Excellent session, given by a skilled presenter. Most useful and professional session I have attended."

"Really valuable personal development - will give me a lot of food for thought - thanks"

"An excellent, engaging and inspirational speaker. It's rare to have a speaker on a subject like this who you can actually believe!"
