In today's recessionary climate companies need to learn to listen to the behavioral needs of employees and share their concerns or risk falling backwards.

A new generation of leaders is emerging to rebalance priorities and prioritize the long-term behavioral health of its workers. This change, in and of itself, will make much more change possible.

The role for leaders is clear.
As forward-thinking leaders take inventory of key assets, they are finding a better path that emerges from uncertainty to security. Rather than tweak the old rules to help business more productive to stem losses, smart business leaders are using this opportunity to develop new growth development models for their people —to enable a more resilient, caring and generative relationship between business and workers.

The need to rebalance priorities.
Business resilience and productivity, over time, is a function of caring for the major input to the business—its people.

Real change in business priorities will always face headwinds, but that’s where leadership comes in. The starting place requires taking advantage of this moment, and making people development decisions that will serve all well long after this exceptionally difficult decade has passed.

When businesses are under pressure to perform in a recession, the standard process is to maximize workers and resources towards their highest-productivity purposes. However, organizations need to ensure they are providing the right behavioral and mindset supports to raise performance levels consistently and permanently.

Productivity boosting behaviors is not about using outdated training, executive and team coaching models of change. To perform at a consistent, high level requires the use of today’s, evidence/science-based, brain-mind-body approach using neuro-behavioral growth models and techniques.

In today's changed ‘new-world’, economic environment employers are compelled more than ever to make sure that they are getting all that they can from their workforce. Adding to the urgency of the problem is the fact that the optimization of a workforce is a far from simple procedure. This is a unique opportunity for accredited, neuro-behavioral coaching professionals to help enterprises survive and thrive.

Change Behavior > Change Results > Change Lives
Lasting, productive change efforts require significant changes in behavior to succeed. Yet, most of today's change efforts still attempt to mandate changes in people from the outside in, through strategies such as new performance standards, replacing old systems with new ones or the threat of job loss.

Just simply squeezing the most performance out of everybody, is an out-dated human resource liquidation strategy:
In the past, traditional, performance-focused coaching concentrated on how to squeeze more performance out of an organization's human resources, the human asset. Given that an organization's senior leadership team have two forms of capital to spend (financial capital and human capital) -trying to maximize performance output only can be seen as just ‘spending the human capital.’

When businesses are under pressure to perform in a recession, the standard process is to maximize workers and resources towards their highest-productivity purposes. However, organizations need to ensure they are providing the right behavioral and mindset supports to raise performance levels consistently and permanently.

Productivity boosting behaviors is not about using yesterday's dated, business and executive coaching models. To perform at a consistent high level today requires a holistic, brain-mind-body approach using the latest, neuro-behavioral growth and development models and techniques.

One of the primary goals of performance and behavioral coaching is ensuring that employees feel safe to explore their behaviors to become the best version of themselves and actually care about the work they are doing. This not only helps a company by increasing the level of output quality during tough economic times, but it encourages lengthy terms of employment so that a core talent base can see a company through the important evolutions it must undergo.

Unsurprisingly, changing economic conditions are simply a wake-up call for leaders to challenge themselves and their teams to best manage the worry and achieve even more ambitious results through rigorous self-awareness, self-development and the new possibilities that go with it. Uncovering fears, doubts, worry and a range of self-limiting behavioral patterns and replacing them with higher-performing behavioral patterns and positive emotions driving sustainable, performance boosting behavior is now a must for today's leaders and managers to navigate through the choppy economic waters.

As many recent studies have confirmed, despite the efforts of most, well-intentioned people development professionals their coaching and training efforts do not produce sustainable changes in behavior.

Performance is simply the manifestation of a person's behavior and associated action.
The good news is that most behavioral aspects that separate average performers from poor performers and outstanding performers from average performers can be learnt via the use of the latest, evidence/science-based, neuro-behavioral change models employing a three tier, brain-mind-body coaching approach.

Leading think tanks now estimate that during these times of uncertainty companies that best manage their human capital assets will outperform those who that don't by between 30 and 50 per cent -and in some instances lead to a doubling in shareholder value. Previous successful companies who don't perform well today in the human capital development scoreboard are being brought to their knees. Poor people development choices eventually convert to poor strategic and bottom-line decision making, loss of revenue and market share, competitive disadvantage, higher production costs, brand risk etc

Today, responsible senior leadership teams are now designing and investing in 21st Century, neuro-behavior focused people development programs to first build-up the necessary human capital reserves to 'fund' and secure an organization's success and future. High Performance Behavior based coaching is a critical organizational tool to both grow the human capital and spend it.

The Safe Haven Behavioral Model

• The Safe Haven Behavioral Coaching Model is about helping all individuals find their way along the right path of guidance and support they require.
   
• A workplace safe haven is a place where people feel secure and protected from outside dangers.
   
• A workplace safe haven is a space where people feel 100% safe and free to be themselves.

One or more qualified, performance behavioral coaches oversee the Safe Haven space and freely provide guidance and counsel on a private, one-to-one and group basis.  Workers report that it for helps restore hope, direction and confidence in both their working and home life.

In large organizations a team of performance behavioral coaches (full or part-time) provide encouragement, positive advice and importantly make no judgment on their client’s behavior.

The responsibility for overseeing behavioral health and performance for most smaller businesses is typically outsourced to a certified behavioral practitioner (external accredited performance behavioral coach) rather than an extra member of staff.

All personnel (leaders and workers alike) are encouraged by their performance behavioral coach towards what they can be with no limits or boundaries to what they can achieve. The performance behavioral coach is by their side in both the good times and tough times -empowering them to perform at the highest level, fulfil their potential and enhance their overall wellbeing and happiness.

The performance behavioral coach provides performance and behavioral health resources and uses neuro-behavioral tools that increase everyone’s emotional, physical and mental well-being.

High Performance Behavioral Coaching = Next Gen Coaching
High Performance behavioral coaching not only encompasses mental (mind) health but it takes a holistic, three tier, brain-mind-body approach. Yesterday’s missing corporate key for success was ensuring people were provided the brain-mind-body care and support they required to be their healthy (mentally and physically) best.

• High Performance Behavioral Coaching ignites people’s well-being levels, creativity, intuition, IQ, EQ, smart decision making and output levels that transforms management and the workforce to drive consistent, high productive results and a happier, healthier environment.
   
• High Performance Behavioral Coaching is a developmental program for all persons and not remedial focused. For example; it is used to ‘tune’ well-functioning brains to enhance a person’s mental abilities and allow them to perform at their peak.
