The Psychology
of Performance
Helping Artists and Athletes Reach Their Full Potential
You have a job to do. Goals to reach.
Are obstacles getting in your way?
Pressure. Burnout. Life transitions.
Mental health struggles. Substance abuse.
Creative blocks. Performance anxiety.
Slumps. Chemistry issues. Group conflict.
Communication breakdowns.
When things just don't click.
We use the art and science of psychology to find solutions.
We help artists and athletes bring out the best in themselves and each other.
By understanding how our histories, personalities, and relationships influence performance, we build plans for meaningful, measurable change.

Artists
Actors, comedians, musicians, writers, directors, visual artists. Film crews, theatre companies, bands.
Athletes
Players, teams, coaches, front office.
Process
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all.

Our approach goes beyond typical peak performance training because of the depth of assessment involved. We look beyond symptoms to find the root causes of performance problems and examine them in the context of the complex relationships your job entails.

Why relationships? Because study after study demonstrate that the quality of our relationships–with both others and ourselves–is the key to sustained growth and change.

Our workflow
What does the typical lifecycle of our process look like?
1. Assess
Individual and group analysis of problems and goals grounded in psychological science.
2. Agree
Define a mission, create a plan of action, choose benchmarks for success.
3. Act
Implement, collect data. Practice, practice, practice.
4. Adjust
Examine performance data. Identify obstacles that arise. If necessary, deepen assessment, strengthen agreements, and return to action.
5. Achieve
Drink champagne. Sparkling cider acceptable. See the numbers.
