- W345772997 abstract "Abstract The fields of coaching psychology and sport psychology offer valuable insights into the practice of career development. A research project by Newburg et al (2002) on the attainment of excellent performance in sports, music and other fields provides valuable insights into how career coaches can help clients craft life purpose statements which will engage and energise their job seeking and work performance. Based on their research findings Newburg have developed a 'Resonance Performance Model' which builds on theories such as Csikszentmihalyi's Flow. The model explores the way feelings engage performance, which they describe as dreams. The sporting metaphor is increasingly being used in the search for models of human performance in the work place. It is a metaphor which can be effectively applied to results oriented coaching and, in these tumultuous times, to extracting optimal performance from change beleaguered employees and their managers. In line with the mantra that there is nothing as practical as a good theory, it is refreshing to find theoretical work which directly informs an approach to the transformational journey which is facilitated by career coaches. The Resonance Performance Model (RPM) (Newburg et al, 2002) has been around for a little while, but only now is it being picked up as useful to the world of work. Its distinctive feature is the way in which it prioritises feelings (affect, emotions) above goal setting. This may be nothing new to effective career coaches and counselors, but what is different is that this is a theory grounded in research. The Resonance Performance Model was developed by interviewing and consulting with highly successful performers in a variety of fields, including sport, music, medicine and business. The research utilised the case study tool of story telling, but draws also from the well known flow theory of Csikzentmihalyi (1990). Resonance and flow have significant differences. Newburg et al (ibid) suggest that their theory has greater explanatory value. Performance excellence is found to be the by-product of living life in such a way that the individual is fully engaged. It is through authentic and energised engagement that resonance is experienced (p251). The concept of engagement underpins the RPM. In career coaching, we try to facilitate a search for career options which will engage the client professionally, and through the decades. But, according to resonance theory, engagement is dependent not so much on skills and aptitudes as on feelings - feelings are at the core of resonance. Resonance is described by Newburg as a process of moving towards feelings of harmony between the individual's inner world and her external environment. It derived from the reports of interviewees on how they felt 'in the moment of action' or during the performance event. Newburg found that high-calibre performers generally described their commitment to a dream, not as a goal, but as to how the performance event was experienced emotionally. They dreamed of how they wanted to feel in their pursuits more so than of extrinsic rewards, such as winning a gold medal. For example, feeling powerful and free in a swimming event was the dream, rather than the goal of winning. It is important to understand that the dream is not a goal in itself, rather an expression of feelings which propel motivation towards goals and activities. Put simply, dream fulfillment trumps goal setting in the achievement of excellent performance and meaningful living. In the Resonance Performance Model, feelings are king. The RPM is an heuristic model. Dreams do not exist in a vacuum and nor do they come true by wishful thinking alone. For excellent performance, there is a cycle of intense preparation, evaluating success/overcoming obstacles, and reaffirming their dream. An application to career coaching might look like this [Figure 1]: It is important to note that preparation will include all the physical, mental and emotional strategies necessary to keep the feeling alive. …" @default.
