More than 500+ leaders and organizations have experienced the impact of Design High Performance.

Design High Performance partners with leaders and organizations to connect everyday decisions, behaviors, and systems to long-term organizational direction. Through thoughtfully designed engagements, leaders strengthen alignment, judgment, and responsiveness so performance is sustained rather than driven by reaction to crisis.
Our focus is not on doing more, but on leading with greater intention, steadiness, and coherence when it matters most.
We work alongside executives, HR and talent leaders, and mission-driven teams to support leadership that remains clear, steady, and effective in the face of pressure, change, and complexity.
Founded by retired United States Army Colonel Dr. Lawanda Joseph Holliman, Design High Performance brings decades of command and executive experience into leadership and culture work that is practical, disciplined, and human-centered.
The focus is not on adding more to leaders’ plates, but on strengthening how leaders see, decide, and lead so performance can be sustained with integrity

We begin by listening. Through a focused consultation, we learn about your organization, leadership context, and the pressures shaping decision-making today. Together, we clarify what high performance needs to look like in your environment.
We design a tailored, evidence-informed strategy that addresses leadership and culture challenges with intention. The work is aligned to your goals, capacity, and long-term direction—not trends or quick fixes.
We assess outcomes, gather feedback, and refine the approach so gains are embedded rather than temporary. The goal is a culture that continues to perform without constant intervention.
