High Performance Coaching is designed for high potentials, which do not significantly benefit from traditional coaching approaches. High potentials already perform at a high level and therefore do not need Performance Improvement coaching. They also have few glaring competency weaknesses-so they may not significantly benefit from Development Coaching. CLS designs High performance coaching systems to place high potentials in challenging experiences, and maximizes their learning through coaching.

CLS builds coaching systems where coaches support high potentials to learn the most from key experiences. High potentials respond to this support with strong motivation to undertake challenging experiences, which results in significant learning. In contrast to the traditional coaching approach, high performance coaching focuses on building the self-confidence of the employee. By systematically placing high potential employees in a series of key experiences where the high potential succeeds, their development increases and their self-confidence grows.
