What is your High Performance Blocker?
Are you ready for the VUCA world?
Maintaining High Performance has never been more important for leaders, consultants, executives and entrepreneurs than in today’s fast changing digital world (also known as VUCA or even VUCAH).
So, do you know what holds you back from maintaining or even increasing your High Performance and from utilising even more opportunities whilst maintaining a balance in your life?
Definition of "High Performance" by The High Performance Institute
“Succeeding beyond standard norms over the long term,
while maintaining positive well-being and relationships.”
Charismatic Speaker
Michael hosted a workshop in our company, which gave us all definitely an eye-opening experience how consulting business will be disrupted by technology in the future. It was enjoyable to participate as Michael is also a charismatic speaker.
Thank you for the experience!

"I have been successful in my career and life, but with Michael took it to another level."
I highly recommend the High Performance Coaching from Michael to anyone who is serious about being at his/her best. What I truly appreciate is Michael's deep understanding of a leader and the challenges in a corporate environment. He does not give "text book" advice, but true life and career based support. If you are looking for a coach who actually has lived through crisis and success himself - Michael is the right guy.
He is incredibly humble and has a great sense of both energy and humor. As a coach I rarely recommend another coach, but I do recommend you to work with Michael!"

Thank you, Michael, for the last months and for working with you on the High Performance Habits. And we both know that every habit is the most important habit.
Thanks for your impulses, the acceleration, and the all-time challenges to bring me to my next personal and business level.
Michael brings his extensive experience as a manager and his understanding of leadership, business, and personal success to coaching. It is a very individual coaching and that is the key to success.
Take the opportunity to take yourself to the next level. I can recommend the High Performance Coaching with Michael.
It was a pleasure to work with you on the different habits and looking forward to our next exchange.

"My perspectives have broadened and I have become much more open to new ideas because of the program."
Michael S. was skeptical at the beginning of the program because he was investing all his energy in his board activities over a long period of time. In the course of the program, he developed various business ideas. He says,
"My perspectives have broadened and I have become much more open to new ideas because of the program. Also, because of the excellent course material, I still have the opportunity to review and correct my perspective after the fact. I highly recommend this program." 👍🏻

How does it work?
To get the most out of our work together, it is important that there is a good fit between you as the potential coachee and me as the high performance coach.
That is why I only work via application, so we have the opportunity to get to know each other.
It is a simple 3-steps process.
Apply for a strategy session
The first step is for you to fill out the questionnaire. Please take some time and go through the questions in detail. Based on your answers, I decide if we have the strategy session.
Click HERE to get to the questionnaire.
Strategy Session
If accepted, I send you a link to book the 1-hour session with you. In this session you will experience high performance coaching. It is a full coaching session.
At the end, you can decide if you want to move ahead.
We start working together
We meet weekly for exactly one hour via Zoom. You will get access to all the recordings and in each session you will also get dedicated worksheets to go even deeper.
The approach is a structure and proven approach with an agenda or topic for each session.
