We deliver practical strategies that help leaders reduce disengagement, increase accountability, and build high‑performance cultures that last.
More than 500+ leaders and organizations have experienced the impact of Design High Performance.
Equipping leaders to show up clearly, communicate well, and lead under pressure.
Strengthening trust, alignment, and shared ownership across teams.
Defining and building the conditions where people and results thrive together.
We go beyond one‑off workshops by becoming an active partner in your leadership and culture journey. Design High Performance offers customized labs, advisory, and coaching that connect everyday behavior with strategic outcomes so leaders can sustain performance instead of reacting to crises.
We work alongside executives, HR and talent leaders, and mission‑driven teams to develop leaders who can navigate pressure, change, and complexity with clarity and presence. Founded by retired United States Army Colonel Dr Lawanda Joseph Holliman, Design High Performance brings decades of command and executive experience into practical tools leaders can use every day.
Our vision is to see organizations where leaders are equipped to handle pressure, people are engaged and valued, and high performance is defined by both results and the way those results are achieved.
Targeted experiences that give leaders language, tools, and practice to show up with presence under pressure.
Deep analysis to help you understand your current culture, identify gaps, and design a clear high‑performance path.
Focused coaching for senior leaders, high‑potential talent, and military‑connected leaders in transition.
Advisory to align expectations, communication, and decision making so your systems support the culture you want.
"Working with this consulting team was one of the best decisions we made for our company. They took the time to truly understand our challenges and developed a strategy that delivered real, measurable results. Our revenue and team efficiency have improved significantly."
"From our very first meeting, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and unique business needs. Their hands-on support throughout our expansion phase helped us avoid costly mistakes and move forward with confidence. We consider them a long-term partner."
"Their team brought structure, clarity, and momentum to our operations. They helped us simplify complex issues, improve decision-making processes, and implement solutions that had an immediate impact. We couldn’t have scaled without their strategic guidance."
"We initially hired them for a short-term project, but their value quickly became obvious. They brought fresh perspective, innovative thinking, and a practical approach that worked across all departments. Today, they’re more than consultants—they’re a trusted part of our business journey."
We begin by listening. In an in‑depth consultation, we learn about your organization, your leaders, and the pressures you are facing. Together, we define what high performance means for you and where disengagement or misalignment is quietly costing you.
Our team crafts a tailored, evidence‑informed strategy to address your key leadership and culture challenges. This may include leadership labs, coaching, and culture design work, all focused on measurable shifts in behavior, engagement, and results.
We work closely with your leaders and teams to put the strategy into practice. Sessions are practical and interactive, and we stay engaged during execution to support real‑time adjustments and help leaders apply what they are learning under pressure.
We measure outcomes, gather feedback, and refine the approach so gains are not temporary. This step helps you embed new behaviors and practices into your culture so high performance becomes a sustained way of operating.

We work with corporate, government, nonprofit, and military‑connected organizations that are serious about leadership development and culture health. Our work spans executive teams, people leaders, and high‑potential emerging leaders.
Every engagement begins with discovery. We learn your context, review your data, and listen to your leaders. From there, we design a mix of labs, coaching, and advisory that fits your goals, constraints, and stage of growth. Nothing is off the shelf.
The first call is a focused conversation about where you are now, where you want to go, and what is getting in the way. You can expect thoughtful questions, initial insight, and a clear sense of whether Design High Performance is the right partner.
