Peak Performance Program
Click here to find out more about your own performance level by taking the Peak Performance Survey.
What is peak performance? A classic definition of peak performance is an individual’s focus on high level functioning targeted at reaching full potential. Our VUCA world has taught us that Peak Performance may look a little different in today’s reality and we may experience a few nuances as we return to the work environment. We do know, however, that peak performance can be segmented into three areas: before, during, and after performance. Before performance, peak performers set stretch goals that are fueled by the individual’s belief in their own power to achieve the goal. They also set higher personal goals for themselves. During performance, peak performers accurately observe themselves and examine thoughts and behaviors that lead to greater success for application later. They integrate mindfulness into their practices to ensure that the best version of self is showing up to the performance. After performance, peak performers consistently self-evaluate using outside resources which could include a coach, a mentor or another peak performer. They compare themselves to their personal best and believe firmly in their ability to continue to perform at the highest levels.
