What does Peak Performance look like for you?

Whether success means increasing collaboration and creativity,
eliminating a 3-putt, optimizing focus and resilience,
raising the rafters from the stage, or getting restorative sleep.

Elevating your mental strength is a lifelong endeavor.

Top 6 Personal Masteries of a Peak Performer:



RESILIENCE

is crucial to moving forward, to excelling and creating something amazing. Challenges and stress can be constants in our lives, but how they are interpreted, handled and rebounded from is key.



INNOVATION

and creativity are crucial to the extended life of any organization. Encouraging leadership and teams to think in outrageously creative ways allows the organization to expand and flourish ahead of the competition.



FOCUS

has a limited capacity in a company as with an individual. The optimal leader must not just capture, but direct the collective attention of the organization. If a leader cannot focus how can they focus the organization?



DISCIPLINE

correlates directly with the amount of self-control, adaptability and conscientiousness a leader possesses. Impulsivity in a leader can sabotage the most effective team. Reactivity in a colleague can curtail all collaboration.



SELF-COMPASSION

practiced by a leader allows them to be compassionate to team members resulting in a higher level of engagement, increased innovation and more agile sales teams.



COLLABORATION

of team members with leadership is critical for companies to excel. Uninhibited collaboration leads to more flawless executions and a team’s ability to make timely changes when necessary.

At Optimal Edge Performance, we use biofeedback to monitor for instantaneous data from the brain and body enabling leaders to see any imbalances, take control and optimize their performance. The ability to see exactly how the body and brain react not only identifies clear goals and benchmarks, but the feedback motivates the trainee to succeed and excel.

One size does not fit all, each brain is unique. Particular areas of the brain correlate to certain behaviors. The brain can fall out of balance and undesired behaviors ensue like focus issues or performance anxiety.

After a history applying neuroscience and biofeedback to behavior & athletic performance, we developed programs to optimize leaders and their teams.

“Yesterday I met with Debbie Vyskocil for my first experience with her Optimal Performance Training and am already using it in a variety of circumstances today. Seeing the feedback of my body’s response on her machine helped me learn there is a more effective way for me to reach my ideal stress-free, optimal zone in order to handle critical decisions and challenges that occur during the day.”
