Performance Under Pressure
Crucially, the work we do is based on the firm belief that, in an increasingly competitive world, the pressure to perform is present in every workplace, every day.
It may not be as glamorous as the "Championship putt" variety, but nobody could deny that there may be extreme pressure in any of the following situations, particularly when the individual concerned is expected to perform the task in question to a high standard, day after day:
- Making an important sales call
- Chairing a difficult meeting
- Taking up a new leadership role
- Dealing with an irate customer
- Handling an under-performing employee
And in every case, a successful outcome can depend to a huge degree on how well the individual or team concerned respond to that pressure - bearing in mind that pressure can help us raise our game, if we know how to manage it.
Gazing Performance Systems
Gazing Performance is an international organisation with its origins in the performance coaching of top sports teams. Set up in the UK in 1998 the company now serves over 60 countries and top organizations such as Xerox and Biersdorf to perform at their best in all situations.
Doing the simple things well
The Gazing approach to optimising performance is all about doing the simple things exceptionally well. We help people learn how to think clearly and execute the skills they have, consistently, whatever situation they find themselves in.
But, in the incredibly complex environment that is the human mind, such "simplicity" is anything but simple to achieve
Improved performance: a systematic approach
To overcome the negative effects of pressure on performance, people need three main things:
- A clear "big picture" understanding of the task in hand
- A well defined framework in which to operate
- Practical tools and knowledge
We focus equally on all three. We help people understand and acquire the mind-set that will get the job done, and we show them how to translate that into their everyday working lives - connecting clear thinking to effective execution.
We don't call what we do training - which, for us, implies something of finite duration and, in most cases, limited practical usefulness. Gazing systems are not a one-off event, but the basis for an entirely new way of performing a task or function; a way that will enable you to achieve more consistent performance and better results.
