What is High Performance Coaching?
Coaching can be the thing that transforms your life and High Performance Coaching is different to other coaching programs. Coaching is a little different than mentoring. It’s different than a therapist. It’s different than an expert. It’s different than a consultant. And that can be why a lot of people are confused about coaching. You know you want more. You know there’s another level of life you want to get to, and you know you need a coach, but you’re not exactly sure why.
The first reason people hire me as their High Performance Coach is for clarity. You know you need a new level of focus. You need a new level of understanding, of certainty, of confidence in where you’re going. You need that objective person asking you intelligent, thoughtful, provoking questions that help you break through.
Another reason people have me as their High Performance Coach is for congruence. If you say something is important to you and you don’t stick to it, as your coach who has your best interests in mind, I will keep you accountable with no judgement. I’ll let you know about it and do it in a caring way, but I’ll keep you congruent.
The third reason people hire me as their High Performance Coach is for challenge. We all need someone to help push us to that next level. To challenge your limited thinking. To challenge the way you interact with others. To challenge you when you get distracted, but also to challenge you to rise into your highest self.
The last reason people hire me as their High Performance Coach is for camaraderie. No one wants to go it alone in life. We all need a cheerleader, someone in our corner supporting us and cheering us on. Accomplishing things can feel pretty lonely. But when you have me as your coach, every week or every fortnight we get to connect. My role is not to be your friend, but in the process it can start to feel like that. You will know that at least you have me to speak with regularly and know you’re going to get that jolt, that perspective, that clarity, that path and you’re going to feel true to yourself again. If anything, you will have me to give you remarkable energy every week and to help refire your own clarity and your confidence to move forward.
The difference in High Performance Coaching versus all the other coaching out there is the way it is structured to move you ahead. That’s why you need me, your High Performance Coach, because no matter what’s happened in your life, no matter whether you move towards your goal or didn’t move towards your goal, every session there’s a curriculum in which I’m going to ask you questions to help you grow and advance as a person and a contributor, no matter what your goals are. The way that High Performance Coaching is structured is every session has an outcome that is moving you towards High Performance as a person, no matter what you do so that you can have confidence that every single time we connect, I will move you forward, no matter what’s going on in your world!
Who is High Performance Coaching for?
❌ High Performance Coaching won’t help the “Yeah Yeah Yeah” person who knows everything but doesn’t have the discipline to truly implement with consistency and excellence. You’ve probably heard this phrase before: common sense is not always common practice. So try not to be one of those people who says, “Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard this before.” In personal or professional development, not a whole lot of new ideas are out there every single year. However, there is always new research. There’s always new distinctions that really can move the needle. We all get caught up and we get busy, so no way is it true that every one of us is doing everything. So maybe I can add elements to the most important areas that if you did focus on, you’d get the greatest bang for your buck. So be a “Yes-yes-yes person,” invest in yourself and be willing to apply, instead of being the dismissive person. The people who are more disciplined than those who are dismissive get ahead.
❌ This process will probably not help the “Excuse” person who always finds a reason not to take action. If you make a suggestion for someone to take action, the “Excuse” person would say, “Well, you don’t understand my community,” or, “You don’t understand where I’m at,” or, “You don’t understand this.“ So just focus on what’s true for you and what might help you versus thinking about 50 other contexts that it might not be true. What matters is, if you focus in this specific area, would it move the needle for you? Not where you have been or a super specific thing about yourself, because the reality is, sometimes it’s just important to get moving again.
❌ The third type of person this isn’t for is the “Fear” person who won’t try new things and who just says, “Well, this is the way it’s always going to be. Nothing’s ever going to change.” People like this mask their certainty that nothing will ever change when the truth is, they’re just scared. Fear is a big issue for a lot of people, and you need to be prepared to tackle it in High Performance Coaching.
❌ The last person High Performance Coaching won’t help is the person who says, “I Don’t Want Change”, and who’s trapped in today. Because ultimately, if you’re really going to reach the next level, you have to have ambition for the next level.
✔️ You have to be the person who says “I want change. I’m looking for transformation. I’m open to my breakthrough. I’m excited about discovering something new.” And if you’re that person, High Performance Coaching will help you.
What is the High Performance Coaching process like?
High Performance Coaching is a process created to explore all the ways YOU can reach heightened and sustained levels of performance and potential in your life. As a Certified Coach, my role is to work with you in this process through 5 different areas: Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity, and Influence. We know from the research and data that if you develop mastery in these five areas, then you’ll feel more purposeful and fulfilled.
You discover new beliefs, habits and tools that help you join the world’s most successful people.
In High Performance Coaching, I often ask some tough questions but the goal is to simply help you find your own emotional truths and life transformations. Ultimately, this is a process where you get out as much as you put in, so your passion and honesty will cause a shift in your life.
1. Clarity
How clear do you feel about your overall life and goals?
2. Energy
Do you have the physical energy and mental stamina to perform at your best?
3. Courage
How confident and bold are you showing up in the world?
4. Productivity
What distractions or poor habits cause you to fall of course? And what routines can keep you on track?
5. Influence
What can you do to better influence, lead and inspire your family and all those you serve?

About Me
Hi, I’m Stephanie Barros, Certified High Performance Coach, wife, mother and wearer of many hats.
My 25 years in the corporate environment saw many changes in my role, function and industry but what remained constant was my passion for helping others discover and EXPLODE their potential. Whether it’s a new job or an increased level of confidence, my greatest feeling of joy and satisfaction is seeing others really achieve.
As a Certified High Performance Coach, I am now doing what I love and excel in professionally and that’s helping YOU get the best out of you!
This is where and who I am today, but my journey started much like yours.
I had lost my spark, my spirit, the essence of who I was. I became disengaged from my career, my relationships and my self. Losing connection with my feelings and goals meant I was no longer inspired to be or do more. However, my spark wasn’t gone. It was just laying dormant, asleep inside me. It was time to wake it up! To truly see WHERE I was, WHO I was and WHAT I was capable of!
It was time to stop living a lie and live a LIFE!
This realisation changed me and inspired pursuit of my passion. I researched, went to seminars, spoke to coaches, mentors and gurus, all aiding in the culmination of my becoming a Certified High Performance Coach.
In facilitating the 12-session High Performance coaching program, my role is to help you master the areas of Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity and Influence. We will delve into your beliefs, goals, distractions, habits and routines; developing your confidence and ensuring you have the physical energy and mental stamina to perform at your best.
I bring authenticity, relatability and passion to our sessions. Connecting deeply with my clients allows me to help shift your mindset and enable positive action.
TOGETHER we can discover your unique success formula and move yourself, your career, your health and your relationships to your next level of engagement, joy and confidence and equip you with the tools to live a fulfilling and successful life!
I’M ready to start you on your journey.
Are YOU ready to IGNITE YOUR SPARK?

Little Voice Mentoring
This program consists of a series of intense questions and processes designed to get you to dig down deep into your subconscious minds, recognize any hidden Little Voice issues that may be still running you so you can gain huge realizations, aha moments and wins! Most programs may deliver a few aha moments but they don’t deliver the insights that’s needed for serious personal development. Nor does the mentor always have the experience needed to help you process any aha moments so you can be in the best position to make the most of your realizations.
If you are asking yourself, “Do I have self-limiting thoughts? Am I really holding myself back from getting what I want out of life?” I guarantee you, the answer is YES! Most of us don’t even know we are doing it when it is happening, so we don’t have any idea of where to start to fix it. For those of you who know you have a Little Voice that holds you back and are struggling with managing it so you can play your bigger game, this program will help you identify and change your self-sabotaging behaviors!
While knowledge can be powerful, it is extremely powerful if you have the right context to support you in your growth. The Little Voice Mentoring Program will support you in getting very introspective so you can gain tremendous wins, successes and momentum even after the program has been completed.

And I share evidence from one of the world’s largest studies ever done on high performance. I talk about strategies that you can implement, and you really get insight into how you can reach the next level without so much uncertainty or challenge.

Captivating Communications
This program provides participants with an opportunity to recognise and then apply what makes communication most effective and resonant.
Participants will go through a seven step
process based on the TED journey of talk development. Participants will leave with a new approach to all forms of communication where the content and audience are at the centre.
This workshop is designed so that the participant will continue their learning beyond the two days and bring the concepts to life in all modes of communication.
Duration: 2 days
Internal Consulting Skills
In today’s business climate, organisations are expected to take a more active, strategic role in the corporation. What this means is that the organisations you serve and your clients must learn to see you as a problem -solving partner. We define consulting as influencing without direct power.
In today’s cross -functional, flattened, and reengineered companies, the only power left is the power of influence. Master that and you virtually guarantee success. Help your teams master it, beginning with this workshop, and you’ll soon be coaching a top -flight organization that commands the respect of the company – and that competes successfully with external consultants.
Duration: 2 days
Achieving Service Excellence
A focus on customer service is no longer just a means of handling customer complaints. It is mandatory for companies that want to remain successful and be profitable in today’s volatile business climate.
“Achieving Service Excellence” is a proven workshop that helps organisations deliver consistent service and manage client expectations every time. Participants build a common definition of service and an understanding of what is important from the client’s perspective across all areas of the organization. It provides the building blocks for a successful Service Strategy to ensure delivery of the right things to the right clients at the right time – not all things to all clients.
Duration: 2 days
Marketing Your Value
Marketing is one of the most misunderstood words in business. Most people perceive marketing as negative and something only the marketing department does. Thus, it is tremendously underutilised by individuals and teams that are left functioning merely as reactive, product pushing, order takers.
By marketing, we mean, “creating an awareness of your value.” This two -day workshop will help your team focus on benefits and solutions, not features and products and will position you for high payoff business opportunities.
