A Masterclass Series

Human Behavioral & Performance Competencies

The HBP (Human Behavior & Performance) Masterclass Series breaks down the 8 core categories of competencies NASA uses to prepare astronauts for long-duration space missions. You’ll learn how to build stronger teams, make smarter decisions, and stay steady under stress—no matter your mission.

 

Whether you're leading a project, training for analog missions, or just want to sharpen your human skills… this is your next step.

Did you know...

There are 96 competencies over all 8 categories in the Human Behavior & Performance Competency Model?

Does this sound familiar?

  • You are great at pushing through but not so great at knowing when to slow down.

  • You thought you were being clear, but could use some refinement on better communication.

  • You work with people from different backgrounds, professionally and culturally

  • You sometimes find yourself living or working in close quarters

  • You’ve been the one everyone looks to but wish you had better tools to lead under pressure.

  • You avoid conflict until it explodes or jump in too fast and make it worse.

  • You’ve felt something was off but didn’t know how to speak up in time.

  • You’ve made fast calls under stress and wondered later if you missed something big.
