Our mission is simple: to level the playing field for organizations seeking to elevate their performance. “The Standard” connects you with a curated selection of premier speakers and thought leaders who are recognized for their expertise in leadership development, fostering winning attitudes, cultivating a champion’s mindset, and creating the "Corporate Athlete"
Simply put: The "Corporate Athlete" is a business professional who embodies the qualities of an elite athlete in the workplace. The qualities of a successful person remain constant between the world of sports and the corporate environment: drive, leadership, resilience, and a strong team focus.
The corporate world is only getting faster. Technology is quickly expanding the reach and access that corporations have to the rest of the world. With these expanded horizons, it is more important now, than ever, to have leaders who can consistently perform under pressure, lead with unshaking confidence, and consistently deliver results in an ever-changing landscape. Adopting the athlete's mindset will prepare your leaders to thrive under these exact conditions. Athletes long for pressure, they figure out the best way to execute a plan, and above all else they elevate their team members along the way.
Drive and Ambition. The elite athlete, and the elite corporate athlete are on a relentless pursuit of excellence. Winning is not enough-- the consistent pursuit of excellence and perfecting the process is what drives the elite athlete beyond the average competitor. This mindset in the corporate environment means engaging in a pursuit beyond a successful week, month, quarter, or year, this mindset is about relentlessly improving all of the processes in your business to ensure that you are ALWAYS improving.
Leadership and Accountability. Elite athletes lead. Plain and simple. It is not enough for the elite athlete to succeed, but everyone in an elite athlete's vicinity should be positively impacted by their habits. Not only do they lead, but they take responsibility. When they don't achieve the desired result, they look in the mirror before they look at anyone else.
Our Speakers are uniquely equipped to teach individuals how to lead by example, how to build positive team culture and foster collaboration, and above all else how to hold themselves accountable. With an NCAA landscape that is changing monthly, our speakers have all been forced to learn, adapt, grow and teach year in and year out in order to stay on top of the mountain.
Team Focus and Collaboration. Team focus is a fundamental building block to any level of success in sports. No individual in the corporate workplace or in the world of sports can succeed alone. Putting the team first not only is a catalyst for all members of a team to improve, it also creates a sense of competing for something "bigger than me," which is essential for motivating athletes and business leaders when inevitable trials arise.
Resilience and Mental Toughness. There is no growth without adversity. Resilience is an essential trait for both elite athletes and corporate leaders. Inevitably, there will be challenges, and how an athlete or leader handles those challenges determines their long term success. Athletes become all-time greats based on how they performed in the face of adversity, likewise a business leader becomes a trailblazer and sets new industry standards based on how they respond in the face of roadblocks and challenges in the midst of pushing the industry forward.
Consistency and High-Level Performance. ELITE Athletes train for consistency. They don't train for one race, one game; they train to win night in and night out. True excellence requires a sustained effort over time, even when no one is watching. Corporate professionals have been, and will continue to be measured by how consistently they deliver results in a fast pace environment. By unlocking the secrets of how athletes can consistently maintain excellence despite injury, age and outside factors, the corporate professional can enhance their ability to remain consistent in the results that they earn.
Our network of speakers consists only of the best. They've coached World Record Holders, Olympic gold medalists, NCAA Champions, NCAA Record Holders, and professional athletes across disciplines. And what they bring is DECADES of experience in coaching, nurturing relationships, and adapting to new practices in their disciplines.
No matter the sport, it's a mental game. Thus, the principles that they teach their highest-level athletes translate directly to corporate leaders. Mental conditioning, creation of high-performance routines, goal setting, consistent performance analysis and visualization to name a few, are skills that directly benefit the highest level of athletes and corporate leaders.
Off-season training is different than the training the week of a championship. Our speakers know how to motivate their teams, and when to use a specific motivational technique depending on the phase of the season, they're in. This keeps their athletes engaged and prepares them to push past their limits and reach new level of success when it's time. They will equip you with similar knowledge on when and how to motivate your workforce in a fashion that remains effective over time.
