Life Coach

The self-help movement is full of gurus, good ideas, and aha moments. There is no shortage of places to draw inspiration from. Inspiration and good ideas aren't the issue. Implementation is. The thing that the self-help movement lacks is coaching.

Life coaching and counseling are different

Traditional counseling focuses on healing, insight, and resolving past or present emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, or trauma. It’s often about getting unstuck and restoring well-being.

Life coaching on the other hand is forward-focused. It’s about growth, goal-setting, and performance. Coaching helps people build skills, make changes, and reach their potential in areas like career, relationships, or mindset.

The Motivation Lab is your corporate coach in San Antonio. We are highly professional but decidedly un-corporate. Paradoxically, this un-corporate mindset serves us well in corporate coaching. We work from unique angles to assess needs and build and maintain mechanisms that sustain success. We appreciate the approach of consultants who focus on Myers Briggs, enneagrams, and other common assessments and modalities used in corporate consulting, but that isn't us! Besides, you have probably already done them in your organization.

Our strength comes from understanding the intersection of the psychology of dysfunction, the psychology of high performance, and the science of human motivation. The combination of these things is the mechanism that sits under everything people think and do. We help organizations, leaders, and support staff infuse these principles into their systems to create high-performance organizations. This includes crafting a long-term plan to build consistent and repeatable organizational practices and/or incorporate a mental skills training program and mental performance coaching into the organization.

LEADERSHIP

The leadership landscape is ever-changing. Philosophies and inspiration morph in concert with the latest leadership best-seller. Through our corporate coaching, we don't plant our flag in and train a particular leadership philosophy. We train leaders to get the best out of their philosophy. We follow the model of Positive Leadership. Positive Leadership is rooted in Positive Psychology, a  strengths-based harnassing neuroscience to create peak performance, flourishing, and optimism. We help leaders identify, develop, and operate in their strengths and fire on all cylinders. This creates consistency and optimism in the leader, which influences all levels of the organization. 

CULTURE

We help you apply the principles of positive leadership and performance psychology to build and maintain a thriving culture. The strength-based approach of positive psychology infuses optimism and a growth mindset into your organization’s systems. World-class performance doesn’t happen by chance, neither does a world-class culture. Benefit from the rewards of consistency, internally motivated teams, and optimism at every level of the organization.

We offer one-on-one private coaching, which takes a targeted approach to individuals. This is an effective and efficient way to strengthen specific areas. We provide an individual needs assessment and work collaboratively to craft a plan to improve performance. For situations requiring discretion, see our concierge coaching section below for more details.

We work with groups as well. Whether to assess and fine-tune group dynamics and processes or provide education on various topics, our group training offers skills that can be used immediately to improve functioning, performance, and systems.

We offer customizable concierge support for high-profile people and/or high-consequence situations. The Motivation Lab is your concierge life coach. Concierge life coaching is an option for people and systems requiring high discretion and intensive support. This includes people in the public eye, executives, and celebrities.

We know the spaces between creativity, business, and high performance and understand the language, processes, and goals of each. Whether the needs of a situation call for a coach, confidant, motivator, or trusted voice of reason, we help high-profile people stay on the razor’s edge of peak performance, creativity, and production. Concierge services allow us to work one-on-one with our clients in their environments to ensure success.

We teach and model the elements needed for consistent and confident action through relationship, psychoeducation, and presence. Skills are crafted and sharpened, and people consistently do what they should do, be where they should be, and deliver when they need to deliver at a high level.

In crisis situations, we work with clients to right the ship. When there is a lack of purpose or personal or professional stagnation, we teach clients the mechanisms of internal motivation. When things are going well, we help build and maintain systems that keep clients kicking ass.
