Are you about to make an important decision or go into a critical meeting?

 

Just like an athlete gets ready for a competition, Executive Athletes™ also prepare with a pre-game ritual to put them in a winning mindset. We often work with C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders who face high pressure situations. We offer an in-the-moment exercise, called the "The 6 Resilience E's™: Science-based Pre-Game Ritual". It is a game-changer, and in only 12 minutes  it improves the brain's executive functioning and subsequent decision-making. It's meant to help a leader get in the best mindset possible before making an important decision or going into a critical meeting. Of course this does not replace skill and preparation, but it optimizes in the moment mindset.

 

The pre-game ritual is based on research from Functional Medicine, Management Science, and Corporate Finance. It is custom build for each client, from the 6 Resilience E's™, a comprehensive framework designed by LEAD LAB to enhance  performance and well-being as an Executive Athlete™.

 

It comes with an optional scientific overview, separate from the actual exercise, explaining the research studies on which the exercise is built. In general, the 6 dimensions are the following:

​

1. The Electrical aspect focuses on practical strategies to disconnect and recharge. This includes techniques such as putting your phone in airplane mode and out of sight to minimize distractions and restore mental energy.​

2. The Environment aspect, highlights the impact of environmental factors (such as neuroacoustic sounds) on cognitive function and overall well-being. Understanding how your surroundings influence your performance can be a game-changer in optimizing your workspace for productivity.​

3. The Energy component emphasizes the importance of hydration and balanced nutrition. Here, we dive into the role of protein, fat, and carbohydrates in sustaining optimal energy levels, empowering you to fuel your body for success.​

4. Emotional resilience is about techniques for cultivating heart coherence, including heart breathing, focused attention, and embracing positive emotions. Building emotional resilience is essential for navigating the ups and downs of leadership with grace and composure.​

5. Exercise, both physical and mental, is an important part for achieving peak performance. Here, we discuss brain exercises and kinesiology warm-ups that enhance cognitive agility and mental resilience, enabling you to stay sharp and focused in challenging situations.​

6. Finally, the Experience aspect encourages you to embrace laughter and embodiment exercises to foster a positive mindset and enrich your overall leadership experience. By prioritizing joy and mindfulness, you can cultivate a fulfilling and sustainable approach to leadership.
