Keynote Description

Peak Performance Mindset

Doing your best work in a high-stress, high-stakes situation can feel impossible. Even the best communication skills mean nothing without the ability to perform when it matters. A peak performance mindset is critical to creating impact.

Richard shares practical techniques for reaching a peak performance state before any presentation, pitch, or meeting, plus strategies for staying in that mindset throughout the event to create the best opportunity for success. Eye-opening, proven, and actionable, this keynote empowers leaders and teams to feel and look confident, thrive under pressure, and maximize their results.

This keynote is perfect for leaders and teams who:

  • Feel the pressure to perform in key moments, but are unsure how to be their best selves when it matters most
  • Are stressed about targets and goals, or critical upcoming meetings, and lack the strategies to prepare for success
  • Lack the self-belief and personal confidence to achieve the success they deserve, or are feeling anxious and struggling to feel motivated and focused

The audience will leave able to:

  • Take charge of their mind in challenging events so that everything they do helps them achieve their goals
  • Reach a peak mental state before important events, so they can reach their full potential
  • Develop simple anchors that bring them back to their best self before and during key events to get the results they desire
  • Overcome the nagging doubts and worries that hold them back by overriding them with peak mindset techniques
  • Transform how they move, breathe, and focus, so that everything works together to increase their impact
  • Immediately apply everything they have learned to an upcoming event, so they are ready to perform at their best
