This can cause repeated mistakes, slower work, and lost opportunities.
Input
How we take in information from our environment.
We take in signals by reading, listening, or observing—but barriers can distort, filter, or block what we notice.
Barriers here distort perception and cause missed or biased signals. For example, filtering feedback through assumptions or ignoring market data that doesn’t fit expectations.
Storage & Processing
How the brain organizes, interprets, and uses information.
The brain organizes and interprets information, but barriers like overload, unprocessed trauma, or emotional interference can cause confusion and poor judgment.
Barriers here create overload, confusion, or flawed reasoning—like struggling to prioritize tasks, misjudging risks under pressure, or letting fear of failure cloud judgment in critical decisions.
Output
The decisions, actions, and performance that follow.
When input or processing is blocked, output suffers—leading to slower execution, repeated errors, missed sales opportunities, and reduced productivity.
The result is decisions and actions, which weaken when earlier stages are disrupted.
When cognition is blocked, effort is wasted, execution slows, and opportunities are lost. Removing these barriers turns potential into performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are cognitive barriers often overlooked in workplaces?
Cognitive factors are not visible like skills or behaviors. Many organizations assume performance gaps come from lack of training or motivation, when the real issue lies in how people process information, handle pressure, and make decisions.

Does cognitive coaching replace regular skill coaching or training?
No. It complements them. Training builds knowledge, and skill coaching supports application. Cognitive coaching strengthens the thinking processes that make it possible to use those skills effectively in real situations.

Why is skill coaching combined with cognitive coaching?
Cognitive growth (through cognitive coaching) becomes effective only in real work contexts. Skill application reveals thinking patterns and gaps, which are addressed through complementary skill coaching. This ensures cognitive shifts turn into lasting performance improvements.

How do you measure the impact of cognitive coaching?
We start by linking business metrics to the cognitive and behavioral patterns that influence them. By addressing these gaps, we can measure improvement in outcomes such as productivity, decision quality, error rates, and adaptability.
