Performance coaching

Performance coaching is the form of coaching that focuses on improving a concrete output in a particular area. Its roots are in sport and it was carried into the business world through the work of Timothy Gallwey and John Whitmore. The core idea here is that the greatest obstacle to performance often lies not outside but in the person's own inner interference. The coach tries less to teach a new technique than to loosen the inner obstacle that stops the person. When the obstacle is removed, the ability the person already carries flows more freely.
