WHY THIS EXISTS

The Problem With PIPs

The traditional Performance Improvement Plan runs on pressure, which rarely produces lasting change. It tends to trigger shame, defensiveness, and quiet disengagement, the opposite of what a struggling employee needs to turn things around.

The Spark Plan works with how the brain's motivation system actually functions, so the employee buys in instead of bracing for the worst.

The SPARK Method

Five steps, one framework:

SEE (S):  Understand what's actually happening, beneath the surface behavior.

PINPOINT (P):  Identify the specific executive function patterns getting in the way.

ACTIVATE (A):  Engage the employee's own motivation, rather than imposing pressure.

RESOURCE (R):  Give them the tools and structure to make change possible.

KEEP THE RHYTHM (R):  Sustain progress with a steady, repeatable check-in cadence.

What's Inside

The full SPARK methodology, step by step.

A co-created Future-Self visioning process.

A 10-domain executive function assessment, with manager and employee versions.

SMART goal templates with 30, 60, and 90-day milestones.

A weekly check-in structure with a ready-to-use email template.

Language scripts for hard conversations, moving from shame to curiosity.

NEED MORE THAN A FRAMEWORK?

When An Employee Needs Hands-On Support

The SPARK Plan gives you the framework. Sometimes an employee needs more than that, a coach working alongside them to build the skills and put the plan into action. That's what the Workplace Performance Program provides.
