As well as working as part of a crew of 9 with their coach, Martin, Ben and each team member needed time to set goals and reflect individually. To work out what good performance meant for them as individuals, enabling them to focus on how they could improve their mindsets and physical performance as individuals so that they could contribute to at the best of their ability to the overall team. All of this was done 1:1 with their coach and meant that as individuals their goals were clear and as a team together they became increasingly committed and focussed on achieving peak performance.
In elite sport, there is not a single high performer who operates without their own coach. Yet all too often in business, leaders are expected to perform in equally demanding and pressurised environments with minimal support or challenge. The opportunity for continuous performance improvement, stronger resilience and more effective leadership is lost.
If you are a leader of others you’ll benefit from our Executive Coaching. Through challenging, supporting and refining your leadership and decision making, we work to help you build on your current successes and overcome your limiting behaviours. Enabling you to reach the goals you set for your business and your personal performance.
Our approach is born out of performance at the highest level of sport, with Ben Hunt-Davis’ Olympic Gold Medal in the Sydney 2000 Games. Through a detailed and systematic approach to everything they did, Ben and his crew answered the simple question every day – “If I do this, or if I do that, will it make the boat go faster?” They turned their perennial under performance around through the application of straightforward language and principles, working together to achieve their goals. Our coaches guide you to use these same Olympic principles, to think and act in new, simple and more effective ways.
Working with my coach over a period of eight months has significantly improved my leadership style and capability. Through a process of distilling my personal goals and creating clear linkages and opportunities with my professional role, Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? has been invaluable in developing and supporting the delivery of effective leadership skills and techniques.
