Hi,  my name’s Coach, and I’ll be looking after you while you’re here.

 

“Who is Coach?” you ask.

 

Well, like you, I’m just an ordinary manager.

I’m not HR.
I’m not a lawyer.
I’m not an academic.
And I don’t have letters after my name.

 

What I do have is over 40 years of lived performance management experience in the real world.

Twenty years as a manager, at all levels, dealing with the same pressures, frustrations, and people issues you’re dealing with now.

And another twenty years training and coaching line and middle managers in how performance management really works not how it’s described in theory.

 

Very few people, if any, get to see performance management from every angle the way I have:

​

• as a manager,

• as a leader,

• and as someone brought in when things weren’t going well.

 

That experience is what I now call The Raising the Bar Way.

 

Raising the Bar is simply a modern approach to performance management, a more objective, professional way of dealing with something that, for many years, has gained a bad reputation.

 

Here’s the reality.

 

Very few managers have ever received proper training in performance management — particularly when it comes to managing below-standard performance and behaviour.

 

That isn’t a criticism of organisations.

For a long time, there simply wasn’t relevant, practical training available. What did exist was largely procedural, generic, and rarely reflected the real conditions managers actually operate in.

​

This kind of practical, real-world support didn’t exist.

 

Until now.

​

The Raising the Bar Way was created to fill that gap.

​

Let me show you how it works
