Bespoke team performance training
Core Cognition delivers high performance training packages bespoke to your team’s requirements.
We work with a wide range of high performance organisations including search and rescue teams, corporate clients, police, ambulance services, helicopter emergency medical teams, sporting organisations, veterinary surgical teams and elite military units.
Our training packages provide your teams with the following skills:
Owning The Pressure to optimise performance
Communication in high pressure situations
Critical decision making
Regaining composure and situational control
Cultures of high performance
High performance cognitive aids - checklists, action cards & SOPs
Debriefing and significant event management
Training techniques for high pressure performance
Fatigue and performance
The content of our courses is the result of decades of experience of leading high pressure teams when optimal performance was imperative - leading an emergency department, establishing a national helicopter retrieval service, mountain rescue and remote expedition medicine. Your team can benefit from the tools and techniques used by high pressure professionals operating in these environments - enhancing their ability to make decisions, communicate and work effectively as a team. We can also work with you to create an organisational culture of high performance - embracing psychological safety, staff emancipation and continuous improvement through marginal gains.
Training delivery
We provide a range of performance training solutions - from one hour virtual events to two day face to face courses.
In advance of courses, delegates are provided with a copy of Stephen’s book, Peak Performance Under Pressure - Lessons from a helicopter rescue doctor. We can also provide access to the Performance Under Pressure Online Course.
Our face to face events combine short presentations with small group work, practical sessions and discussions,. Our aim is to facilitate sharing of experience and to explore how the principles of the Owning The Pressure model apply to your organisation.
