The Secret of the Slight Edge: Peak Performance Lessons from the Competitive Cauldron
1:55pm - 2:55pm
Keynote Speaker:
Colleen M. Hacker, Ph.D., FNAP, CMPC,
Mental Skills Coach and Performance Psychology Specialist
As a member of the Coaching Staff for six Olympic Games, and a dozen World Championships, Dr. Colleen Hacker’s keynote will center around four essential principles that facilitate the process of achieving excellence. Performing at the “next level” requires individuals to master “the secret of the slight” edge in thought and action, appropriately navigate expectations around unpredictable professional and market dynamics, cultivate a productive mentally tough response to headwinds, adversity, and difficulty and then, align individual behaviors to achieve a collective vision of success. “Corporate athletes” can readily adopt, master, and implement these mindset perspectives individually and as members of the CRE team and industry.
