5 Myths About High Performance Coaching — And What It Actually Is

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

High performance coaching can be a bit of a mystery if you've never been inside of it.

And I get it.

There's a lot of misinformation out there about what coaching is, who it's for, and what it actually does. Some people think it's therapy with a different name. Some think it's motivational hype. Some think it's only for executives at the top of the food chain. Some think it's only for people whose lives are falling apart.

Almost none of those are true.

After two decades of working with high-achievers — first as a chiropractor watching the body keep score, and now as a Certified High Performance Coach trained in Brendon Burchard's CHPC methodology — I've heard just about every misconception you can think of. I want to clear up the five most common ones, because the people who would benefit most from coaching are often the ones holding the most wrong ideas about ...

How to Turn Energy Into Output and Influence Without Burning Out (Part 2)

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you haven't read [Part 1: Why Energy Is the Real Currency of High Performance →](INSERT BLOG 4 LINK), start there — this article builds directly on it.

In Part 1, I made the case that energy — not time — is the real currency of high performance, and that energy isn't a single tank but three: physical, mental, and emotional. We focused on stabilizing the physical foundation, because everything else compounds from there.

Now we get to the part most high-achievers actually want to talk about.

You've got the energy. So what do you do with it?

This is where most people get it wrong. They build their physical tank back up after a season of burnout, feel good for the first time in months, and immediately pour all that recovered energy back into the same overcommitted, scattered, low-leverage activity that depleted them i...

Why Energy Is the Real Currency of High Performance (Part 1)

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

I'm going to tell you something most productivity articles won't.

Time management isn't your problem.

I've spent over two decades treating high-achievers in my chiropractic practice — entrepreneurs, executives, surgeons, pastors, parents juggling three roles at once — and I can tell you almost none of them are short on time. They're short on energy. They have plenty of hours in the day. They just don't have the physical, mental, or emotional capacity to use those hours well.

That's a different problem entirely. And it requires a different solution.

If you've ever had a wide-open Saturday afternoon and somehow ended it feeling like you got nothing meaningful done — if you've ever had a calendar full of "free time" that produced nothing because you were too depleted to use it — you already know this. Time isn't the bottleneck. Energy is.

Why You Start Strong and Fade — And the System That Keeps You Consistent

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

Here's the honest truth about most high-achievers I work with: starting isn't the problem.

You can start. You've started a hundred times. New goals in January, new habits in March, new business ideas in June, new health routines every Monday morning. You don't lack ambition. You don't lack ideas. You don't lack the capacity to begin.

What you lack is the structure to finish.

If you've ever set a 90-day goal and watched it quietly disappear by week four — if you've ever started a habit on Monday and abandoned it by Friday — if you've ever told yourself "this time I'll really commit" and then watched the same fade pattern repeat itself — this article is for you.

Because the fade isn't a character flaw. It's a predictable result of running on motivation in a life that requires structure. And once you understand that, you can fix it.

Why High-Achievers Burn Out — And the One Reset That Actually Works

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

The most exhausted people I see in my chiropractic practice aren't the lazy ones.

They're the high-achievers. The ones running businesses, raising families, leading teams, serving in their churches, showing up for everyone — and quietly running on fumes. They sit on the adjustment table and tell me their back hurts, but what they really mean is everything hurts. The body, the mind, the spirit, the marriage, the patience that used to come easy.

I know because I've been there.

Burnout doesn't happen to people who don't care. It happens to people who care a lot, for a long time, without the structure to sustain it. And here's the part most articles get wrong: burnout isn't a willpower problem. It isn't a time-management problem. It isn't even an "I need a vacation" problem.

It's a system problem. And it requires a system reset.

The 5 Moves That Separate People Who Finish the Quarter From People Who Don't

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

Most people don't fail because they lack ideas. They fail because they start strong in January, fade by March, and tell themselves "next quarter" until the year's gone.

I've watched this pattern in my chiropractic practice for over two decades. Patients come in carrying physical stress that's really just unprocessed mental and emotional load — the byproduct of starting things and not finishing them, of working hard without the structure to make it count. The body keeps the score. So does the bank account. So does the marriage. So does the calling on your life.

After becoming a Certified High Performance Coach trained in Brendon Burchard's CHPC methodology, I started seeing the same five moves show up again and again in the people who actually pull it off — who set a 90-day target in January and are still executing in April. They're not smarter. They'r...

Being healthier is a challenge at the very least!

Did you know the food you eat and the vitamins you take could be poisoning you?

Your body recognizes Real Food.  Whole means complete. Real food is whole, complete and unadulterated.  Anything else, it treats as foreign.

Well here's 3 To-Do tips for you to be a whole, healthier Be-ing!

1. Go Gluten-Free.  Read the book Wheat Belly if you need the science and research behind eating gluten free. 
2. Go Organic. This is your best chance of having cleaner fuel that isn't sprayed with neuro-toxic bug & weed killer which gets absorbed by the food you eat.
3. Eat non-GMO.  This way your food isn't genetically modified with crazy stuff you wouldn't believe (so I won't put it here) to withstand the toxic sprays for 'better yields'!

 So go do this and shine brighter today for it!

Yours In Health and Success

Dr Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

PS. To sum the Whole Food thing up: 

1. Go gluten-free.
2. Go organic dude!
3. Eat non
