A high performance coach for the leader who already performs but wants to hold it for years.
You are good and you know it. You have read the books. You track your sleep. You know what to do, you just do not do it for long. A high performance coach builds the system that holds, so peak performance comes with zero burnout instead of a redline you pay for later.
You run the whole thing on willpower.
You reckon a good performer just pushes through. So you push. And the tank you are pushing from does not refill on its own.
You run on willpower
You reckon a hard week never hurt anyone. So you say yes to more and push a bit harder. Now every week is the hard week. This week you are cooked by Wednesday. Keep it up and the good weeks stop coming back.
Your best hours go to the gaps
You think your best thinking will just show up when you need it. So the big calls wait for a gap in the day. The gap only comes at 3pm, when your brain is fried. You play chess for one block, then Uno the rest. Your best goes to the scraps.
Rest is always later
You tell yourself rest is what you get once the list is done. So recovery keeps sliding, and the list is never done. The focus that used to come free now costs you more. The tank never fills back up. So the whole day runs on empty.
The phase never ends
You keep saying you will ease off once this phase is over. So you never stop, and the phase never ends. You are the engine the whole place runs on, and it is running flat. The kids clock it before you do. You are running it down.
You play a bit of chess and a lot of Uno. The free 3 minute scorecard shows how much of your week is Uno, and what it is costing you.
The four inputs behind a high level you can hold.
Deep focus blocks
A protected block a day where your best thinking actually happens. No pings, no fires, no context switching. The hard work that moves things gets your sharpest hours, not your leftover ones.
Recovery and energy
Sleep, training, and recovery built so the tank refills on purpose. We track HRV and recovery on WHOOP or OURA, so energy becomes a number you manage, not a feeling you hope holds out. Behavioural science, measured. Not hype.
Emotional control
Steady under real pressure, not just on calm days. A hard meeting or a bad result stops hijacking the next three hours, so your judgement stays sharp when the stakes are highest.
Discipline that holds
Replacement, not willpower. You stop relying on a good mood or a fresh Monday. We swap what drags you down for what lifts you, 1% at a time, until the right behaviour just happens because the structure carries it.
Evidence, not opinion.
Dr Yannick van Hierden holds a PhD in behavioural science and developed curriculum for the Griffith MBA, ranked the world's number one "Better World" MBA six years running.
He has coached 115 business owners and executives, logged around 6,000 hours of meditation, and spent more than a decade and over $250,000 studying how people perform under pressure without breaking. The program is built on what holds, not on what sounds good.
What changed for people who run their own show.
What holding a high level looks like, in their own words and numbers.
Gert runs a freight and logistics business and came in carrying the whole thing on his own shoulders, stretched thin and running on fumes, the energy gone long before the day was done. His words: "Incredible! I saved multiple hours every day and gained the energy to lead my business without burning out."
He built a flooring franchise business in SEQ and was buried in it: perfectionism, firefighting, every call his. We rebuilt the systems so the place ran without him, and he graduated calmer, self-scored performance up from 3 to 7. His words: "The warehouse was pretty much my mind. I've decluttered it."
Matthew went from 13 plus hours a day on the screens to about 3, and won back 15 hours a week of uninterrupted work on his most important thing. In that space he surfaced an issue costing $224,300 a year. His words: "I'm no longer controlled by the computer screens in front of me. I'm controlling them."

The stuff you're actually wondering.
What is high performance coaching?
It is coaching that changes how you operate as a performer, so you can hold an elite level for years instead of flaming out. Impacter works on focus, energy, recovery, and emotional control with behavioural science, so peak performance comes with zero burnout rather than at the cost of it.
Is this just productivity by another name?
No. Productivity squeezes more out of the same tank. High performance coaching grows the tank. We work on the inputs underneath your output, recovery, energy, focus, and emotional control, so the high level is sustainable, not a sprint you pay for later.
How is performance actually measured?
With real data, not vibes. We track sleep, recovery, and energy with WHOOP or OURA, and we watch hours back, focus held, and decisions made under pressure. You see the numbers move, so the change is something you can point to, not just feel.
Is this only for elite or already high performing people?
It is built for people who already perform well and want to keep it up for the long haul. If you know what to do and just do not do it for long, this is for you. If you are deep in burnout, the work is the same, it just starts further back.
What does it cost and how does it run?
Engagements start at AUD $2,500 plus GST for a 30 day sprint and $7,500 plus GST for the 12 week program, run one to one with WHOOP or OURA tracking. According to a PwC and ICF global study, the average return on this kind of coaching is around seven times the investment.
