Performance Course

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Pilots, Doctors, Police, Mining... high professionals
The Performance Course was created in 2010 to meet an industry-wide gap in pilot education. Many professional pilots deliver performances below their full potential during critical incidents and when under high levels of scrutiny due to a sense of pressure and pre-occupation.

Due to demand, the Performance Course has been customised to suit professional domains that reflect the stress profile found in professional aviation.

The pressure of scrutiny and assessment is commonly experienced with low currency, cyclic sims, conversion training, annual line checks or when shooting for an upgrade. Pilots are often aware their performance is sub-max and yet feel unable to move into top gear. This can generate error, bringing additional stress which leads to a downward spiral in performance leading to a costly training failure or a frustrating 'marginal pass'.

If unaddressed, the affect of past under-performances can recur and compound, causing personal tension to rise days or weeks in advance of future assessments. The gravity of this phenomenon is not addressed through normal training and is not escaped though applying normal preparation techniques. It can remain unresolved for years.

The Performance Course, designed by a highly experienced pilot trainer, addresses this phenomena directly and effectively. We check facts, challenge ideas around failure and expose the underlying cause of stress related under-performance.

Participants are then equipped with simple and powerful tools for diffusing both chronic stress and startle reactions in-the-moment. The tools greatly enhance decision skills and stress stamina and may be used to prime for any stress event ahead of time. The course has assisted hundreds of pilots across Australasia. Participants consistently report that the walk across the gangplank became easier, immediately…

Content
Select findings from the fields of medical science and psychology are reviewed, forming a foundation for the key concept.

The Performance Course explains precisely why the common treatments such as working harder, preparing more or conducting additional training cannot work to resolve this phenomena to reveal why "What got you here, won't get you there.". Myths that underpin the fear of failure are systematically debunked.

With the underlying cause of stress issues in view; Candidates are then given powerful, easy-to-remember techniques for diffusing personal tension when it arises in future... Through using simple variations in perspective, situations previously described as 'difficult' can transform into truly desirable experiences regardless of the outcome.

The concepts are effective for dealing with all stressors; including unsavoury rostering, the possibility of job loss; and also more acute stress reactions brought on by real inflight emergencies and line and sim checks.

The Effect
Hundreds of graduates report a permanent and significant improvement in performance and decision making and a heightened capacity for dealing with a variety of pressure situations such as cyclic simulator checks, Command upgrades, line checks, First Officer upgrades, aircraft conversions.
