Get Started With Psychological Skills

Larry G. Maguire Profile Image
Larry G. Maguire

Welcome to Human Performance. I'm Larry Maguire, an organisational psychologist and lecturer in psychometrics, leadership, motivation, well-being, and human performance. I am also a development coach for executives and business owners and a workshop facilitator. Developing the psychological skills necessary for peak performance in your work is an ongoing and dynamic undertaking. It consists of understanding oneself and others, making effective decisions under pressure, regulating one's emotions, and having concern for how our actions impact the world. I built this site to provide you with the information you need to develop this essential mental skill set.
