... But after over 20 years of coaching companies to breakthrough results -- including Fortune 500's, the United States Government, start-ups, teams like the New York Yankees and more, we've learned that the fundamental key to success in all of them is

Commitment Management.




In football, a genius game plan is worthless if the players can't block and tackle.
A brilliant architectual design is worthless if the construction materials are of poor quality or the builders lack the skills to execute the plan.

And your business strategy is worthless if your people can't make and honor Commitments.
Chances are, efforts to upgrade your performance culture have fallen short because you've not yet trained your people in what we call Commitment Management, a system that drives execution.

How Can We Help?

Our simple but powerful system, Commitment Management, produces breakthrough levels of results and sustained satisfaction for your customers and your teams in step-by-step fashion by coaching and training them to be excellent at Commitments.

What Our Clients Are Saying...



My organization hired Birgit to help me enhance my leadership skills and if it wasn’t for her coaching, I would have given up. Instead I led a team who took our program from a 500K budget to a multi-million dollar venture that is now duplicated nationally.

Carolena Van Trapp

Leader, Non-profit


Birgit and her company, Heads-Up Performance, Inc, represents the the one of the top five best decisions I made as the President of a company. Her coaching resulted in reduced friction with senior staff, which made us much more productive and conservatively speaking made us at least $400K fall to the bottom-line.

Art Milligan

Former President, Carroll Management Group


She provided sales training and coaching, and last week one of her suggestions led to an $80,000 sale I know would not have come in without her insight and advice.

Brandon Thompson

Director of Sales and Account Management, Anvil


Through months of coaching Birgit helped me create processes to maneuver through obstacles, opened my eyes on how to be a compelling leader, showed me how to have dialogue through difficult conversations and gave me tools and support through work life/family life hurdles. I couldn't think more highly of her and her talents.

Kate C. Sawa

APR, Executive Director, Market VP, Tampa Bay, American Heart Association / American Stroke Association


"The principles you taught us were simple, straight forward and very effective. It was great to set a foundation for the change needed to build an effective team. I was glad to see that the guys were engaged and got great value from the training."

Sal Nsheiwat

Director, Mosaic



Birgit's specialty is building a culture of accountability that leads to continuous improvement. Our team and our company are measurably better off for having collaborated with Birgit Zacher Hanson and I give her my highest recommendation!"

Gibbs Wilson

CEO, Alpha-Omega Title
Think of it this way...

Your Culture is Like a Computer's Operating System

Like a computer's operating system, a company's culture provides the framework for how employees interact with one another and how they approach their work. It shapes the organization's values, beliefs, and behaviors, which in turn affects the company's overall performance.


Upgrading the operating system in a computer improves its functionality and security, and upgrading a company's culture improves employee morale, productivity, and innovation.


Neglecting to upgrade the operating system leaves a computer vulnerable to security breaches and slowdowns.  Neglecting to upgrade a company's culture leaves it vulnerable to employee disengagement, stagnation, and failure.


We upgrade cultures by upgrading their interpersonal operating system.

In business, THE fundamental is making and honoring Commitments.

Who Will Do What By When?

"A compelling story with a vitally important message.  It's a great personal reminder of the importance of following through and doing what you say you are going to do." -- Brian Cashman, General Manager, New York Yankees

Formerly a successful salesman, Jake McKay is now a failing manager. Join him as he races to learn the fundamentals of team and personal effectiveness from his coach before he loses his job -- and the woman he loves.

Along the way you arm yourself with the tools you need to cut through the daily tangled web of organizational politics and interpersonal issues that hinder performance."

"We got one hospital off the 'danger' list and onto the 'high performers' list by using Heads-Up Performance’s Commitment Management system. Don’t let the simplicity of it fool you – it’s transformational."
