A coaching approach designed for life after divorce & major change

Instead of trying to “go back to how things were”, we rebuild your performance on a foundation that matches who you are now – mentally, emotionally and professionally.

1. Rebuilding identity at work

Major life events change how you see yourself. We clarify:

  • Who you are now in your work and life
  • What you want this next chapter of your career to look like
  • Which parts of your old identity still serve you – and which don't
  • How to show up with grounded confidence rather than performance pressure

2. Restoring clarity, focus and follow-through

After big change, focus and execution often drop. Together we rebuild:

  • Your daily and weekly rhythm
  • How you prioritise what actually matters
  • Systems to support consistent follow-through
  • Simple structures that protect your time and energy

This helps you move from scattered or reactive into steady, deliberate action.

3. Redesigning how you make decisions

We look at your work through a decision-making lens, including:

  • Where fear or guilt is driving your choices
  • Patterns of over-committing or avoiding tough calls
  • How to make aligned decisions under pressure
  • What needs to change so decisions feel clean and sustainable

When your decision architecture changes, performance becomes easier and more consistent.

4. Sustaining high performance without burnout

Performance after major life change requires a different kind of fuel. We help you:

  • Create performance goals that are actually humane
  • Set boundaries that protect your capacity
  • Build recovery into your work rhythm
  • Grow your career in a way that doesn’t repeat old patterns

Strong performance, grounded in self-respect, becomes your new normal.

Results you can expect

Everyone's story is different, but clients typically experience outcomes like:

  • Clearer sense of who they are now at work and in life
  • Restored focus, energy and professional momentum
  • More confident decision-making and boundaries
  • Improved performance without relying on perfectionism or overwork
  • Greater emotional stability at work during a challenging season
  • A next chapter that feels chosen, not just survived

“I thought my career was permanently damaged by my divorce. Within a few months, I felt clearer, more grounded, and my performance reviews reflected it.”

“Instead of trying to be who I was before, I'm building a version of success that actually fits who I am now - and my work is better for it.”

Performance Coaching FAQ: Strategic Reconstruction for High-Achievers

1. What is performance coaching for high-achievers?

Performance coaching is a structured, precision-focused process designed to restore professional execution and personal identity after a major life disruption. Unlike general life coaching, it focuses on Decision Architecture and Performance Restoration—bridging the gap between your known capabilities and your current daily execution.

2. How is this different from therapy or divorce recovery coaching?

Therapy is essential for processing the past and healing emotional wounds. Divorce recovery coaching often focuses on the immediate transition. Performance coaching at Primary Self is for the "Next Phase." We don’t just focus on recovery; we focus on reconstruction. We treat professional performance and personal identity as interconnected, helping you build a new operating system that functions at or above your previous levels.

3. I’m 12 months post-divorce and still feel "foggy" at work. Is this normal?

Yes. High-achievers often experience an "Execution Gap" 9 to 18 months after a major disruption. While you may have "processed" the event, your decision-making frameworks and identity are often still calibrated to your old reality. This results in second-guessing, loss of focus, and a decline in professional confidence. Our coaching identifies these foundational cracks and installs new operating principles.

4. What is the "Execution Gap" in professional performance?

The Execution Gap is the distance between what you know you are capable of and what you are actually doing day-to-day. After a major life change, high-performers often lose their "strategic edge." We use strategic mapping and foundation work to help you reclaim that edge and restore your previous standards of excellence.

5. Is this coaching only for professionals in Adelaide?

While we are based in Adelaide and offer local face-to-face sessions, we work with high-achieving professionals globally via secure video consultation. The principles of Identity Reconstruction and Performance Restoration apply regardless of geography, though local Adelaide clients benefit from our deep understanding of the South Australian professional landscape.

6. How long does the performance reconstruction process take?

We don't believe in endless processing. Our approach is time-bound and ROI-focused. While every situation is unique, most clients see significant shifts in their decision-making clarity and professional output within the first 90 days of our structured foundation work.
