Elite athletes need to deal with multiple distractions, manage their stress levels, and have robust self-confidence to deliver podium-worthy performances. These days, it's the same in the workplace. In today's fast-paced, competitive work environments, employees and corporate leaders are asked to do more with less, take on bigger files, and work longer hours. The pressure to perform at your best and be on the mark is always present, and let's face it, being consistently great is easier said than done. Whether your performance realm is the playing field, the office, or the classroom, mental toughness is no longer simply an asset. It's an absolute necessity.

Thriving at work and in life doesn't happen by accident: there are teachable skills that can help you unleash your full potential. Mental performance coach Jean Franois Mnard will give you exclusive access to techniques and strategies that he uses to help Cirque du Soleil artists, Olympians, and pro athletes become the best in the world.
