Recording (Members-Only)
This talk is designed to help leaders increase their competitive advantage. Sonya draws from her experience as an Olympic class skier to provide insight into the techniques elite athletes use in prevailing over their competition and attaining exceptional results. The learning from years of coaching high-level executives has led to the development of core theories about how people operate: what motivates them; what traps and thwarts them; and what ultimately drives them to success. The intention is to start the process of unraveling why people do what they do and how to change that to improve performance.
The audience is introduced to a process that can help them get more power, control and influence over the results they get in their own lives as well as those of others around them. It all starts with understanding yourself in a fundamentally different way, and that involves understanding the deeply imbedded internal stories that drive most everything you think and do. By doing this, over time you can gain the power to work with these stories; deconstruct them; and then reconstruct them to achieve better results in your life.
As all elite athletes and leaders learn, to achieve something special you have to work hard and overcome multiple challenges. You have to undertake that process with a good plan of action. This presentation is geared towards the select visionary professionals who are willing to take a hard look at themselves, uncover their blind spots, and step out of their comfort zone. It isn’t easy, but it is truly worthwhile if you commit and invest the energy.
Sonya is an executive coach who has worked with business professionals in such companies as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Google, Boeing, Gates Foundation, 3M, Adobe, Adidas, Lululemon, The Four Seasons, St. Jude Medical, Port of Seattle, BNY Mellon, D.A.
