Bobby Sheikh, head of the Human Performance Institute for Asia Pacific.It found that a two-and-a-half day intervention from work — such as HPI's flagship 2.5 day "performance" course — could improve employees' energy levels and their sense of purpose.
"What that means for them as humans is that they're more present and focused on the people ... and the moments that matter most to them," he said atWhat sets HPI apart from other wellness programs, according to Sheikh, is its four-tier structure, which focuses on individuals' "emotional, mental, physical and spiritual dimensions."
It's an approach first developed by HPI's co-founders, Jim Loehr and Jack Groppel, in 1991, when they met at the U.S. Open tennis tournament and began studying the performance of top athletes — and it's one that has held strong as it has spread through different professions in the decades since, he said.
Seeing the "holistic" impact, the duo combined their expertise in clinical psychology and exercise physiology to develop a training course that focused on all four dimensions.The approach Loehr and Groppel created saw participants first complete a personal feedback form to assess their performance across all four areas. They would then partake in a series of practical sessions to confront any roadblocks within each of those areas before developing methods to move past them.
The course proved so successful over the following decades that it was adapted several times for a range of professionals, including the military, FBI hostage teams, surgeons and, most recently, business leaders, whom HPI refers to as "corporate athletes.""We've realized that, through the space of sports and military involvement and looking at medical teams and in business, everyone needs to have a purpose," explained Chris McUtchen, coach for HPI in Singapore.
