ABOUT HUMAN BALLISTICS
​Human Ballistics and the Performance Course came into existence in 2010 in response to a request from within the aviation industry. The Performance Course is the first and only course of its kind and fills a significant gap not covered by traditional CRM courses. Interest in this unique course continues to grow by word of mouth. We do not engage clients via any other means. We provide individual or group coaching when that elusive 'silver bullet' is required. 
 
PRINCIPLES
The human ability to suffer stress and resistance in anticipation of future events is unparalleled in the animal kingdom. The principle concept is that we experience significant stress due to a personal goal conflict which emerges when multiple obligations are encountered. In this state we become time poor and can suffer an increasing sense of suffocation. This generates additional stress and we can enter mental logic loops that can cause us to feel trapped. The sense of pressure accompanying this can place us to the 'right side' of the performance curve (see 'amber zone' below) where we barely make the grade. If the situation is mistreated, an otherwise competent aviator can fail under watch.​ At this juncture, attempting to do what normally works to place us back 'on top' are futile; and additional attempts can degrade performances further. 
 
To see a way through, a new paradigm is needed. Gaining a new perspective is difficult to achieve alone; that is where coaching becomes helpful. This is our core business. It is to rapidly amplify Situational Awareness, guide clients to their own silver bullet; and move on.

The Performance Course does not 'flatten the curve', it dissolves it.
