Work smarter and safer while boosting your well-being
Learn How To Harness The Power of Resilience
What’s at The Heart of Performance?
There is an art to performing well. It includes feeling strong mentally, physically, and emotionally. When any of these are lacking, it impacts our talent and ability more than we realize. It can also negatively affect our health in a serious way.
With strong self-awareness, we can notice when we are not on our game and proactively do something about it sooner rather than later.
The Heart of Performance offers proven resilience tools that enable us to bounce back better than ever. This state can optimize our decision making in critical moments.
Proven tools that help Olympic athletes, Navy Seals, and High-Risk workers are available to you and your organization.

The Science of Emotional Intelligence
Establish Your Competitive Advantage with Emotional Intelligence. Crucial for the Future Workplace!
Building Exceptional Leaders. Transforming Organizations. NOW VIRTUAL
Live Facilitated Virtual Program – 3 modules, each 2 hours in length
It’s a scientific fact that emotions precede thought. When emotions run high, they change the way our brains function, diminishing our cognitive abilities, decision-making powers and our interpersonal skills.
Our programs provide the tools to create a culture of trust and integrity delivering high engagement based on alignment, clarity and safety. Leadership teams often lack the most important ingredient to building this type of organization: Emotional Intelligence.
Teams skilled in emotional intelligence support one another as they navigate change. They are able to listen and collaborate effectively, without judgment and draw on the strengths and ideas of everyone. They have the courage and freedom to act without fear and are more open to new perspectives, viewing failure as an opportunity to iterate, learn and imagine new possibilities. This creates an environment that promotes creativity and innovation.
