Our method makes us unique
Diagnose, coach, measure. We find out what matters most for each person, coach on it, and show what has changed.
Coaching works best when it’s aimed at the right things. That’s why every programme starts with our COGNOSIS Coaching Questionnaire, which looks at the factors that most affect how people perform at work.
The 12 factors behind performance
COGNOSIS looks at 12 connected factors. Strength in one area supports the others, and a gap in one can hold the rest back.
Sleep
Sleep
More and more research shows how vital sleep is to how we think, feel and perform. Understanding sleep patterns helps people and organisations decide where to focus.
Confidence
Confidence
How confident we feel at work can influence every other area of how we perform.
Happiness
Happiness
Feeling happy and understanding our sources of happiness is a powerful driver of resilience and performance. Building strength in the other areas has a powerful impact on our happiness.
Motivation
Motivation
Motivation is what gets us going and keeps us moving forward. A lack of motivation can often be an early sign that something else needs attention.
Optimism
Optimism
Optimism derives from the ability to pause and reframe challenges as positive opportunities for growth and development. It’s something we think we should be viewed as a skill to be developed, learned and applied.
Resilience
Resilience
Resilience is a core foundation, supported by several of the other factors. It's our ability to deal with pressure from different sources and to pick ourselves back up when challenged, in work or outside it.
Physical Fitness
Physical Fitness
Physical fitness supports how we think and feel, and strengthens our ability to respond to whatever life brings. Knowing how firm a foundation it is helps us decide how much to focus on it.
Relationships
Relationships
Relationships give us resilience, motivation and optimism, and they are core to performing well. Knowing how to build and maintain them is essential.
Balance
Balance
As with low motivation, an imbalance between work and life can be an early sign of reduced performance and the risk of excessive stress and burnout.
Anxiety
Anxiety
Too much anxiety can leave us overwhelmed, unable to focus and undermine our resilience and capabilities. Managing anxiety is a vital skill for anyone who wants to perform at their best.
Stress
Stress
Communication
Communication
Being able to communicate clearly allows us all to achieve shared goals. Good communication should lead to good performance, clearly understood objectives and well functioning teams.
