Maximum Performance Starts with Engaged and Accountable Employees

Nothing you do will accelerate performance faster than creating a fundamental shift in the mindset of your people.

Outward Performance addresses the source of organizational dysfunction, interpersonal conflict, organizational silos, and poor morale. By enabling a fundamental mindset shift, the training and tools in this transformational program produce unprecedented levels of collaboration and innovation in your organization.

Transforming team performance, starts by changing mindset

Instead of addressing the symptoms that reduce performance and productivity, Outward Performance addresses the source: mindset. Clients who use Outward Performance to transform their culture are able to build more productive, engaged, and inclusive teams by enabling a fundamental shift from the myopic, self-focus of an inward mindset to the expansive, impact-focus of an outward mindset.

By addressing mindset you will:

  • Invite people in rather than call them out
  • Encourage change rather than demand
  • Allow people to be heard
  • Build trust within the organization

A critical driver for individual and team success is mindset. Behavior-based performance programs (time management, organizational skills, process improvements, for example) overlook the underlying mindsets that cause conflict and productivity issues. In contrast, organizations see significant performance improvements when their transformation efforts are based on mindset change as a foundation for behavioral change.

Performance issues are often rooted in conflict that can harm the organizational culture and morale. Overcoming conflict requires people to reconsider their impact on the people around them. By empowering team members to approach their relationships with a new, outward mindset, conflict is replaced by collaboration, innovation, and improved productivity.
