463 Your High Performance Patterns Are What Drive Your Best Work

Podcast Notes Episode 463 Your High Performance Patterns Are What Drive Your Best Work Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: May 1, 2025 In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries Podcast, Brian Miller and Chad Hall revisit the concept of High Performance Patterns (HPP)—a foundational tool in CAM's coaching philosophy. Originally developed by Dr. Jerry Fletcher, HPPs help individuals identify personal conditions that lead to better-than-expected results. Brian and Chad reflect on their own patterns, explore the importance of partnership, time-bound projects, and how performance is shaped by context. They also introduce CAM's updated High Performance Patterns eCourse, now available at a discounted rate for May 2025.   Key Highlights: Origin of High Performance Patterns Dr. Jerry Fletcher's research at Harvard shifted the focus from imitating top performers to identifying unique, individual patterns that consistently lead to high achievement. Defining High Performance High performance is defined by results that exceed your own expectations—not necessarily what others think or external benchmarks. Brian's Key Pattern: Partnership Brian performs at a high level when working with an equal partner. He shares how recognizing this has transformed how he approaches opportunities and collaboration. Chad's Key Pattern: Time-Bound Projects Chad thrives on projects with clear time limits. Long-term maintenance roles tend to drain his performance, while defined deadlines enhance focus and execution. Using and Refining Your Pattern Over Time High Performance Patterns aren't static. Through reflection and story-based assessment, individuals can refine and apply their patterns more intentionally over time. Takeaways: Everyone has a unique pattern for peak performance.  Identifying yours can help you replicate success more intentionally. Look to your own stories HPP discovery is narrative-based—collect stories where you exceeded expectations to find common threads. Partnership may be critical—but only the right kind. Equal investment and mutual respect are essential for collaborative patterns to work. Not all work suits all patterns. Understand the kind of environments (e.g. time-bound, collaborative, solo) that enhance or diminish your performance. Your pattern evolves. The more you reflect and apply what you learn, the more precise and useful your HPP becomes.   High Performance Patterns eCourse Available for $79 (normally $129) during May 2025 at coachapproachministries.org/hpp    Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!
