Performance coaching for professionals in New York

In the high-stakes world of business and finance, peak performance isn’t just an advantage. It’s essential to success. Expert performance coaching helps individual employees, managers, executives, and teams of any size to grow and reach their highest potential. Improving professional performance and incorporating best practices benefits the individual professional and the organization as a whole, fostering a culture of excellence and driving tangible results.

Union Square Practice co-founder Dr. Jonathan Fader, a leading performance psychologist, brings a wealth of experience gleaned from working with elite athletes in the NFL and MLB. He translates the mental conditioning behind peak athletic performance into actionable strategies for success in the corporate arena.

Performance coaching sessions take place remotely or in-person at our offices in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

What is performance coaching?

Performance coaching is a collaborative process designed to access your untapped potential and enhance your professional effectiveness. It goes beyond traditional mentoring or consulting to focus on cultivating the mental resilience and top-tier performance mindset necessary to succeed in high-pressure environments.

The science of performance psychology explores how the human brain drives or hinders an individual’s performance. Performance coaches apply this science to help clients optimize their mindset to achieve peak motivation, focus, confidence, and composure throughout all aspects of their work. At Union Square Practice, Dr. Jonathan Fader and his colleagues work with hedge funds, banks, entrepreneurs, hospitals, and other leading businesses in New York City, coaching individuals and teams to achieve their performance goals and excel in their chosen fields.

How performance coaching drives success

Performance psychology recognizes that talent and hard work alone aren’t enough to compete and succeed at the highest levels. This is why today’s elite athletes undergo intensive mental coaching on top of rigorous athletic training: Mindset is key to achieving peak performance. The same types of mental conditioning that create star players and winning sports franchises can transform personal performance and company culture in the office.

High-performing business professionals, like top athletes, need to:

  • Remain calm and clear-headed across repeated high-pressure situations
  • Filter out the non-essential to stay focused on what matters most
  • Identify and channel strong emotions productively
  • Collaborate successfully with a team
  • Take informed, decisive action at key moments
  • Shake off a temporary setback and get right back in the game
  • Achieve consistency in each of these skills, day in and day out

 

Performance coaching at Union Square Practice offers our clients the mental edge to take their performance to the next level.
