The success of a Montana business depends directly on the performance of its key managers, sales and technical people. Most business fail to reach their potential, not because of a lack of vision, but from an inability to execute to consistently high standards on a daily basis. Most barriers to success are psychological in origin. These include resistance to change, conflict avoidance, mistrust, fear, overwhelm, difficulty handling stress, impatience, lack of energy, over control and inability to delegate.
Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence, estimates that 80% of professional performance is a function of emotional and social competencies, and that these are four times more important than intellectual and technical abilities for business success. He estimates that 75% of professional failure is related to the inability to competently manage stress, manage interpersonal relationships, adapt to change, and inspire trust and confidence in others.
The same powerful psychological techniques used to treat anxiety, depression and marital issues can be adapted to eliminate barriers to performance excellence. We help key staff learn how to perform in their optimal zone; reduce or eliminate the negative aspects of stress; improve communication, teamwork and people-skills; and maximize energy, creativity, drive and optimism.
