Organization Coaching
There are no “one-size fits all” offers. We always evaluate the context (the past, and present conditions of our clients’ businesses). Then we design our coaching, seminars, and workshops to address the client’s needs.
Our belief is that managers were created to produce coordinated action. We have a very unique offer to teach the essential skills, attitudes, and understandings essential to producing coordinated action. We do this through an experiential learning experience using music as the medium for conveying this message. Performance Learning Inc. has connections to professional musicians and bands of multiple genres of music… Pop, Mo-Town, Country, Rock & Roll, etc.
Dr. Don’s coaching style pairs well with the Achieving Balance Wellbeing (ABW) program. His knowledge of cognitive psychology and neuroscience is shared as he facilitates the video-driven ABW program. Dr. Steele can also train future facilitators of the ABW program within an organization. This allows leaders and staff development personnel of a company to bring the concepts to life and lead enriching experiences for other employees of the company.

Forms of Coaching
Ontological Coaching
The term 'ontological' refers to our way of being. We are human beings but we are also "human's being". Ontological coaching is a process that incorporates three domains that taken together, determine our personal way of thinking and behaving. The three domains are, conversations and language acts, moods and emotions, and body positions and movements. PLI teaches clients how to shift their way of being in ways that better serve them and your organization in circumstances that are not served well
Self-Efficacy Coaching
Self-Efficacy is a concept based on personal judgement of how well or poorly a person is able to cope with a given situation based on the skills they have and the circumstances they face. Our coaching shows individuals, teams, and organizations how to elevate their efficacy. The effect of this change is ambition to take on difficult tasks, persistence in the face of setbacks, and an overall sense of mastery.
Mindfulness Coaching
PLI's mindfulness coaching focuses on the thought processes of optimal performing people. Learning these powerful thought process concepts unleashes the potential in the domains of performance. Thinking differently trumps working harder.
Enhancing Organizational Coaching
Building Core Competencies
Our professional staff has taken special pride in building core competencies into the fabric of many organizations across a multitude of industries and continents. These core competencies become a source of competitive advantage for your organization.
Achieving Bounce-Back Ability
Building bounce-back ability is an important concept to many businesses at the moment. After the 2020 pandemic and its effect on the world, bounce-back ability looks to take center stage in the business world. The future of businesses will be dependent on the individuals and organizations' ability to rapidly recover.
Leadership Development
One of the key factors in improving leadership is being able to lead powerful conversations. Another is to successfully orchestrate moods and emotions in your organization, so they support rather than inhibit optimal performance. Leadership is ultimately all about results, for this reason, we call our professional staff 'resultants' rather than consultants. We produce results on time and within budget.
Coaching for Optimal Performance
Learn to engage your team and inspire them to achieve high levels of success. Everyone can improve with the right coach or mentor guiding their actions in the workplace. Through observation, assessment, and interaction a good coach can make positive improvements in a struggling worker. Participants will learn to improve their leadership style from a manager to an effective coach and mentor.
