Mental Fitness for Optimized Leadership Performance

Are you choosing pain or performance?

From the moment you wake to the moment you sleep, you face thousands of choice points. All day, every day.

If you’re drained, depleted, anxious or overwhelmed, you’re mostly — and unconsciously — choosing reactive states of fight or flight.

Of course, you’re not intentionally choosing pain or stress! But when you’re in fight or flight — even if it’s just mild — your leadership performance is far less than your best.

For breakthrough, resilient leadership that is both optimized and sustainable, take the journey to improve your mental fitness.

Optimize Your Performance

Feel lighter.
More in control.
With less stress — and more enjoyment out of work and life every day.

When you’ve got mental fitness, everything is easier to handle. Even the really hard stuff.

Learn the five “muscles of mental fitness” — and you’ll bring greater emotional intelligence, resilience and mindfulness to everything you do.

The Importance of Mental Fitness to You

Every day you solve problems, make decisions, navigate relationships, hold crucial conversations, make plans, take actions, and drive results.

As a mentally fit leader, you’re able to maintain a clear, sharp, focused mind. You can use all of your brain for the issue at hand. You’re quick, agile and strong.

And you easily remain so, day after day. No matter what.

Mental Fitness and Leadership

The real drivers of your leadership behaviors and outcomes are the hidden habits of your mind. Your many life experiences have shaped powerful, unseen, and entrenched perspectives you hold about yourself, others, and your world.

These habits of thought and belief cause you to behave in certain ways. And, for better or for worse, that leads you to produce predictable results.

To improve your mental performance, you:

Uncover unwanted patterns that cause you to feel and act from a “triggered” or stressed state, and
Fundamentally and permanently overwrite old patterns with new ones anchored in emotional intelligence, clarity and resilience.

Mental fitness metrics include time and consistency.
