Client-Consultant Alliance and Performance Outcomes

The client-consultant Alliance (CCA) is a critical component of performance consultation. It refers to the relationship between the consultant and client and how effectively they work together to achieve the client's goals. Research shows that a strong alliance is associated with positive outcomes in performance consultation, such as better performance outcomes, greater adherence to psychological skills training, and improved satisfaction with the consultation and sport. Developing a strong CCA requires effective communication, transparency, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude from the consultant. At TNT, we prioritize establishing an empowering, supportive, and trusting relationship with our clients, and we regularly check in with them to ensure we are addressing their goals and needs. By doing so, we can help our clients achieve their performance goals and improve their overall satisfaction with our consultation.
