Leadership Institute

 

In our view leadership is not bound by status, rank or organisational position. It is an expression of individual commitment, creativity, accountability and passion. Performance Impact trains and develops leaders at all levels in organisations to run their organisation from these principles.

Performance Impact Leadership Programmes deliver transformational results for clients of any size of organisation - from substantial to smaller entrepreneurial organisations -in any sector around the world.

We train and support participants to become entrepreneurial, aspirational leaders, who run their organisations from the highest personal and collective values.

Our clients experientially increase their personal awareness and gain access to commercial, social and emotional intelligence in a way that is practical, integrated, exceptionally powerful, distinctive and not available in programmes that are based on traditional teaching and learning methods.

We tailor every in-company programme to address the current and desired situation in the client’s organisation in a way that creates substantial value for the participant and for the organisation.

Each in-company programme contains core material that is provided to all levels of leadership and other material that is provided only for certain levels or parts of an organisation so that the requirements of each level of leadership are addressed:

 

Programme content and style

Our leadership programmes utilises the Performance Impact proprietary consulting methodology called Realising Performance Potential©. This methodology integrates strategic thinking, business planning and the real-time development of leaders in a highly effective, practical and results orientated way. Application of our proprietary Realising Performance Potential methodology transforms conceptual knowledge about leadership into experiential knowledge, skills and results.

During our leadership programmes participants are introduced to a range of powerful leadership tools and approaches that facilitate the creation of challenging, supportive, entrepreneurial work environments, producing exceptional results.

Our programmes focuses on participants applying what they learn in order to make a substantial, quickly noticeable difference to the situations they encounter at work; on “real-playing” these situations; on receiving personal feedback and on “modelling” the leadership style that is most effective in the challenging environments in which organisations operate.

 

Outcomes and results

The Performance Impact Leadership Programmes deliver substantial and measurable results that line up with the outcomes that our clients identify as most important and relevant to them. Prior to joining the programme participants are asked to specify the areas in which they want to produce results and the indicators of success in each area.

Producing significant, measurable, sustainable results are the hallmark of Performance Impact. Optimal conditions for producing outstanding results are created by the design of the Performance Impact Leadership Programme; by the Performance Impact Leadership Principles & Tools used; by the experience and skill of Performance Impact’s Programme Leaders.

Life changing experience

You know this already but it is important for me to tell you that you have changed my life. I am now closer to the person I always wanted to be, and I knew I could be. I could feel all this potential inside, but I could never find the way to develop myself in a truly, genuine and authentic way. As a result of the coaching work we have done together, I have found the resources I needed to lose my anxiety and most important of all I have become a more attractive person to others and to myself.

Major career transformation

For ten years I had been a Director in the Professional Services industry. Now I have a new career as a qualified doctor in a top London teaching hospital. My coach helped me to find the confidence to pursue this very different career path. She provided an amazing amount of support and she skilfully guided me though the challenge of passing several demanding exams and interviews. We were both delighted when I received offers to study medicine, as a mature student, from two of the best medical schools in the world. I truly believe that I would not have had the confidence to embark upon such a major career change without the support of my Performance Impact coach.

Drama transformed into magic

My Performance Impact coach supported me through a five month period to obtain a much bigger role with my current employer. In my new job, I will relocate from Madrid to New York, where I will manage a team of five direct reports in three different locations (Mexico City, Sao Paolo and Buenos Aires) and I will be responsible for the growth of the company’s business across the whole of Latin America. My coach was hugely instrumental in the successful outcome of this personal project. I would not have got this excellent outcome without her.

Passionate, practical, results orientated

My coach reached to the core of who I am as a person. She woke up my passion and she helped me to establish a realistic plan to reach my immediate and medium term goals. I saw that it was possible to reach my goals in a way that matched my talents, skills and life-style requirements. I felt very positive about what I would be able to achieve and over a relatively short period I‘ve been successful in realising my aspirations.

Relevant, easy to apply, independent perspective

What I leaned in my coaching programme has been very easy to apply. It is relevant to everyday situations from small to major and from operational to strategic. Many of the tools enable you to see the bigger picture and remain independent of the issue so that you can keep perspective to find the right solution.

Alright not to be perfect

My coaching programme with Performance Impact allowed me to step back and look at myself. It helped me to realise that I am not perfect and there are lots of ways I can improve. It was reassuring to realise that others also struggle with the things I find difficult as a leader.

Provided refreshing perspective on leadership

The coaching with Performance Impact provided a great deal of insight and clarity about leadership, exceptional leaders, my role as a leader and the importance of developing more leaders for my organisation.

Exceeded expectations

My coaching programme with Performance Impact exceeded my expectations in a great many ways. It made an immediately, positive impact on how I approach my job and I have incorporated the Performance Impact approach into how I develop other leaders in my organisation.
