Performance Specialist Certification
This transformative training experience is meticulously crafted to elevate not only your skills but also the results you deliver to your clients. Join us and unlock the keys to unleashing peak performance like never before.
Certification Program
The program to become a Certified Performance Specialist is a high level of professional development for coaches (executive, athletic and academic), as well as those active in the fields of consulting, education, mental health and community development. The goal of the training is to provide an in-depth working knowledge of the theory and tools of the Bernstein Performance Model (BPM): a scientifically driven model for improving performance by reducing stress.
This comprehensive, evidence-based performance model was developed in 40 years of clinical work, research and self-study by educator and performance psychologist Dr. Ben Bernstein. The BPM is the core of his three published books, his popular blog on the Psychology Today website, and his forthcoming textbook, The Only Stress-Reduction Book You’ll Ever Need. This training program provides an invaluable toolbox for dealing with stress-related issues such as overwhelm, distraction, self-doubt, under-achievement, performance anxiety and related physical symptoms.
This high level, specialized training covers learning the BPM and applying it to oneself and to the variety of issues that impact human performance. It includes sessions that are didactic and interactive, group and individual, as well as supervision as you apply the work to yourself and those you work with.
This is a unique opportunity for coaches, counselors and tutors to deepen and expand their repertoire of knowledge and tools for improving client performance, and, as a Performance Specialist, work with others interested in performance enhancement.
