Mental performance training for executives
Turn pressure into precision
Developed in professional sports. Now applied to executive performance.
The reality
At the executive level, performance is rarely limited by knowledge. It is defined by how well you prepare your mind.
“All executives are expected to perform under pressure. Only very few train systematically to do so. It’s great to see a dedicated resource that takes care of that!”
What to expect
With just six weeks of consistent training, you will improve your core mental edge metrics. Completing our 12-week THRIVE pathway will establish a mental performance foundation that you will build on for the rest of your career.
Structured for results
Our mental performance programs are built on three pillars.
-
Impact coaching
Critical mental insights with high-impact online coaching sessions and periodic masterclasses.
-
Mentored training
Take insights to pressure practice with efficient 8–10 minute mental workouts that integrate into physical training.
-
Edge analysis
Move from best-guess to validated purpose with real-time progress tracking and mental-edge reports.
Two packages
Simple, flexible, evidence-based
Our Flow 255® methodology combines performance psychology, neuroscience, applied coaching, and real-time analytics into a two-stage development process.
1. THRIVE — Start | 12 weeks
The starting point for everyone. Over 12 weeks, THRIVE helps you identify performance gaps, train key mental skills, apply those skills directly to your role, and use analytics to inform next steps.
-
Week 1–2: Learn
Start with our guided onboarding and intro course. Complete your mental edge profile during our SPECs Masterclass and get ready to build your mental performance fitness with targeted steps. Two coaching sessions.
-
Week 3–8: Build
Kickstart your training with our Skills Masterclass. This is followed by six weeks of training your core mental skills, guided by practical coaching sessions that help you optimize the impact of each training. Four coaching sessions.
-
Week 9–12: Apply
The last four weeks of THRIVE include a deep dive into one specific skill, our Routines Masterclass on integrating mental skills into impactful routines, and a final assessment with our edge report. Four coaching sessions.
2. GRIT — Sustain | 6+ months
Continue to grow with impact. Our flexible and long-term GRIT engagements use detailed edge metrics to set personalized targets and establish sustainable mental performance habits.
-
Week 1: Plan
We guide you through a rigorous update of your mental edge profile and SPECs, help you set clear targets, and create the first personalized long-term training plan during the GRIT Masterclass. One coaching session.
-
Week 2–7: Advance
Build on the foundations of your THRIVE training with one of our intermediate mental workout programs, featuring weekly training to take your core mental skills and performance routines to a new level. Two or more coaching sessions.
-
Monthly: Optimize
Personalize your development of insights, skills, and routines through our deep dive programs and routine scripting. We help you assess, adjust and optimize based on changing needs as you progress. Coaching at flexible frequencies.
Developed in professional sports
No traditional coaching, but integrated mental and physical workouts that turn executive performance under pressure into a capability — not a possibility.
-
Impact-focused
With a curriculum based on exercise physiology, progressively difficult mental workouts target specific deficiencies over time.
-
Integrated
Mental training is integrated into cool-downs of physical workouts, helping mental techniques build resistance to acute stress.
-
Periodized
Our coaches and app deliver customized training programs with different themes, packaged into multi-week programs.
-
Extensive
The Flow 255® methodology was used to develop a curriculum with over 75 mental techniques across 5 core mental skills.
One integrated workout
Our 8-minute mental workouts integrate seamlessly into physical training cooldowns so you can develop and maintain your mental performance without changing your schedule.
“Every corporate executive knows, at some level, what to do under pressure. But information doesn’t develop skills. Training does!”
We customize each engagement
-
Priority scheduling
Is your schedule unpredictable, and would you like to make last-minute changes and choose from extra time slots? Go with our priority scheduling.
-
In-person combo sessions
Would you like to get guidance on both physical and mental fitness? See if in-person combo sessions are available in your area.
-
Physical optimization
Would you also like to optimize your physical training? Let us create custom workouts that challenge your body and mind.
Buying for your team
Bringing this to your C-suite
Many engagements start with one executive and extend to the leadership team. One team, one plan — we work directly with CEOs of large corporate teams and executive coaches to use collaborative starts of our THRIVE pathway that align priorities and make long-term mental performance a team achievement.
Group engagements are quoted individually rather than priced per seat, because cohort size, cadence and the level of coaching involvement vary considerably. What does not vary is the confidentiality: an employer never sees an individual’s assessment results. Sponsors can be given cohort-level participation reporting, and that reporting can be switched off entirely.
For investors and portfolio managers
Sponsoring a portfolio cohort
We work with VC partners and lead investors who want the executives they have backed to perform when it matters. The programme is the same one used by professional athletes; what changes is who is paying and what they can see.
A sponsoring investor does not see individual results. Reporting is cohort-level at most, and can be turned off entirely — which is usually the right setting, because an executive who believes their investor is reading their assessment will not train honestly. That limit is what makes the programme work.
FAQs
› What makes your approach different from traditional executive coaching?
Our coaching serves our training and focuses on developing core mental skills directly applicable to performance optimization. So, rather than focusing on insights and planning, we help executives build capacities through testing, training, and coaching.
› Is it like anything I know or do already?
Think of our approach as a high-end form of CrossFit or Peloton, but for mental performance. We use expert supervision, training at a time and place of your choosing, and a structured curriculum of over 75 mental techniques that you’ll develop, refine, and maintain in multi-week programs.
› Can I use this together with my current executive coaching?
Yes! Our THRIVE and GRIT programs are excellent practical complements to any type or level of executive coaching. For comparison, many of our professional and high-performance athletes use our resources for mental performance optimization, but still consult a traditional (sports) psychologist periodically for broader mental health concerns.
› What are coaching sessions like?
Online coaching sessions typically last 45 minutes and are either structured as a Masterclass (our THRIVE package has three masterclasses) or as an impact coaching session, which includes edge checks, reviews, previews, and target setting. In-person combo sessions include impact coaching and training and take 55 minutes.
› How long does it take before I see results?
Every performer who has consistently trained for 6 weeks has shown substantial improvements in mental edge metrics, including subjective and objective scores of mental performance readiness.
› Are my assessments confidential?
All assessment data is stored on HIPAA-compliant servers. No data is retained on local computers, and we never share personally identifiable information or assessment results with third parties unless specifically directed by you to do so. That applies equally when someone else — your company, or an investor — is paying for the programme.
