Meta Performance Coaching
Meta Performance Coaching is designed to achieve practical goals over 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month timeframes. The goal can be whatever is most meaningful to you: income goals, fitness goals, relationship goals, etc. Moreover, Meta Performance Coaching thrives when combining goals with constraints such as accomplishing the goal in less time or in a way that allows you to love your life while doing it.
There are three pillars of Meta Performance Coaching: vision, mindset, and strategy. Vision is defined as a goal that is thrilling enough that it inspires you to grow into a better version of yourself. Mindset is dealing with the limiting beliefs, self sabotage, etc. that get in the way of the vision. Strategy is breaking down the goal into progressively more detailed milestones until we have precise steps to take each week.
At the end of a Meta Performance Coaching session, those steps become commitments to action, which are then checked at the next call. If completed, wonderful! If not, then we use that as an opportunity for growth. Either way, we win and move closer to the goal.
If you’re interested in exploring Meta Performance Coaching, feel free to book a free introductory session by following the link below.
Genetic & Epigenetic Coaching
Far too much health advice out there is treated as one-size-fits-all, yet the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly clear that different people with different genetics benefit from different routines, nutrition, exercise, and more. Well-executed personalization can yield significant improvements in sleep, stress, energy, body composition, gut health, hormones, and more.
There are two components to this. The first is aligning your lifestyle to your genes (the genetic aspect). The second is making lifestyle changes that actually change the expression of your genes for the better (the epigenetic aspect). This offer will help you source high-quality data and then work with you to create a plan both aligned with your genetic profile and engineered to positively influence the epigenetic expression of your genes. We will work with your doctor(s) if a situation arises that would benefit from medical referral, and a connection to a world-class functional medicine doctor is available if needed.

Breakthrough Transformation Weekend
A weekend intensive focused on the one area of life that would most improve your experience of life if it were to start producing the results you seek. This process uses Neurolinguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy, and other modalities to release negative emotions, rewrite limiting beliefs, resolve inner conflicts, internalize and cement positive feelings, and program the mind for success.
If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to schedule an exploratory conversation here.
Awaken
Awaken is an intensive personal transformation program designed for those who are truly committed to aligning with their core essence and building a life around their unique purpose. It focuses on deep deconditioning work to cut through societal programming and the protective reactions accumulated over the course of one’s life – these are the static in the radio that keep you from knowing yourself and what steps to take next. If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to schedule an exploratory conversation here.
Ascendant
Ascendant is the highest-level program offered by The Oculus Institute. It focuses on the deeper aspects of spirituality (mysticism, practical metaphysics and manifestation, and spiritual enlightenment), as well as the material applications of those principles in our daily lives.
Ascendant is an invite-only program, and it is only available for those who have completed Awaken.
DISC & Motivators Self-Assessment
The DISC/Motivators assessment has a broad range of uses:
- It can help you better understand yourself, business partners, customers, friends, and romantic partners.
- It can be useful in predicting and navigating challenges in your career, your relationships, and your health.
- It provides insights into strengths, weaknesses, valuable growth paths, conflict responses, decision-making, and even neurochemistry.
You will receive an automatically generated report, and you can learn more about how to interpret that report here.
Complexity Levels Theory
Complexity Levels Theory is a developmental stages model synthesized from Clare Graves’ values level work, Spiral Dynamics, the structure-stage portion of Integral Theory, Terri O’Fallon’s STAGES work, and other sources. The Complexity Levels Assessment (CLA) not only identifies what stage someone has reached but also where earlier developmental events may have left unresolved psychological items of various types.
The CLA can be useful for hiring, assessing founders/management of investment targets, or identifying areas of growth and healing for high performance and personal development. The CLA must be read by someone who has been specifically trained to do so. If you wish to take or license the CLA, please email sean@oculusinstitute.com.
