Top performers have learned to adapt their mindsets to prepare and execute on all levels and especially in high pressure situations. There is an extra level of dedication and commitment to qualify for the Olympics and beat out the nation’s top athletes. There is an even higher level required to make it to the podium.

Preparation, taking constructive criticism, accountability, determination, dedication, process management and strategic goal setting all played a key role in Andrew Haley’s success. Andrew’s high performance mindset was constantly evolving so he could commit to days and nights in and out of the pool. Over time, his elite mindset became a natural process of his everyday work. Repetition and focus enabled him to master himself and his craft which led to his Hall of Fame swimming career and multiple Gold Medals and World Records.

Our minds are the key to unlocking our abilities and unleashing us to our full potential. The road to Gold is not for everyone and is not an easy feat, however we can all learn from the mental state of mind an athlete curates and maintains to bring them to each step on a path to reach the top.

This talk shows your team that no matter the circumstances we can be prepared and ready for action. You will learn to banish self-doubt and fear and tap into that extra level needed at work or at home. You will learn to create a mindset that can take you to new heights, set realistic and achievable goals to achieve dreams, meet expectations, and realize there are no limits to your capabilities.

In this tailored presentation, we will explore:

• How positivity is always a choice
• We are always better as part of a T.E.A.M. with support
• Leading oneself to understand your “why” to find your purpose in everything you do
• Preventing burnout through managing your time, healthy living, and relationships effectively
• Trusting the process and remaining confident in the systems
• Manage change and make small tweaks when required on the fly
• Setting realistic short-term goals that paint the larger picture for dreams and success
• Being accountable to yourself in a positive way, to align your habits, daily routine to include what it takes to get you where you need to be
• Self-acknowledgment and celebration of your success while enjoying the benefits of achieving new heights

The audience will learn tools to up their game in the face of adversity by expanding their mindset to consider endless possibilities. Learn how to set dream goals and be more confident in stressful situations. My mom always told me, “Andrew it’s not what happens to you it’s what you do about is that determines the quality of your life”. What are you doing to make positive strides with what you are doing? How do you overcome obstacles and are you ready to commit to a better you? Do you want to achieve your own gold medal moment?

The Olympic Games mark the pinnacle of many elite athletes’ careers. But with the promise of glory comes tremendous pressure. Between keeping a positive mindset, strict safety protocols, the media, and the rapid spread of Omicron, Team Canada still needs to perform at its peak on the international stage. It takes a certain person to manage themselves, support their teams and perform at their best under pressure. Many athletes will rise to the occasion and thrive while others will fall short of expectations. So, what can business leaders learn from our Olympians?

Just as a coach leads athletes to the podium, business leaders guide their teams to deliver when the stakes are high. Andrew developed a 7-step plan that helped him achieve world-class results. There was a single moment where Andrew was able to tap into a new level under pressure to become a Champion. Andrew will share his experience with High-Performance sports to teach how pressure can create more energy if your mindset is focused. He will teach how preparation, hard work, and giving everything you do, to be the best, play a key role in creating confidence in high-pressure situations with the purpose, the solutions, and the outcomes in focus.
