The Executive Athlete: Driving Human Performance for Business Success

Course overview

Human performance drives profit. Recent advances in our understanding of brain science are dramatically improving the way leaders work with colleagues to drive business performance. As the brain is now increasingly examined in the context of personal and organisational development, remarkable insights are being uncovered: insights that are leading to powerful new strategies for improving business execution and ultimately improving productivity.

See what substantial role understanding of the brain can play in how employees work with people. Delegates will learn how knowledge of the brain in the business environment is an important and fundamental part of creating the context for success, driving employee engagement and enhancing performance.

The Executive Athlete Programme explores:

• Why your brain feels so taxed and how you can make full advantage of your mental resources to drive profit
• How to maximise your chance of finding insights that can solve business challenges driving productivity in a fast-paced fluid market
• How you keep your cool in any situation so that you can make the best decision possible
• Why feedback is ineffective and how better to drive personal and organisational performance that align to the bottom line profit
• How to effectively move other people’s behaviours

The course will be delivered using a face to face, interactive style drawing on delegates’ personal and professional experience.
