Are you a corporate athlete?

Leaders recognize the importance of energy in the achievement of organizational objectives and are constantly searching for ways to increase employee energy output, engagement and overall productivity. The Human Performance Institute's Energy for Performance courses are designed to do exactly that. TeamWorks has pulled together specialists and undertaken a thorough accreditation process to allow us to train the programs here in South Africa.

The Corporate Athlete program pulls expertise from a range of sciences, including exercise physiology, performance psychology & nutrition to address a major organisation issue: that the vast majority (c. 80%*) of people are not fully engaged in their work. Even worse, 20%* are actively disengaged, this means that they are putting strong negative feeling & emotion into the workplace. The principals of The Corporate Athlete program have been road tested by the High Performance Institute with elite sports and business people for over 30 years.

Our program draws comparisons between the pressures that an elite athlete and a corporate athlete face. We address a strange phenomena that despite facing pressure for less hours each week, and for many less years, sportspeople take a much more holistic approach to their work, looking at performance in much more detail and ensuring that energy from the body (physical energy), the heart (emotional energy), the mind (mental energy) and the soul (spiritual energy) are all aligned for success when the moment of performance takes place. In this way we encourage and show people how to think about managing energy with the same precision as they manage time or their money.

Our training courses (2.5, 2 and 1 day) are a mixture of classroom discussions, interactive and practical training to give participants the opportunity to deeply explore their own engagement levels and create a plan of action towards becoming fully engaged. Subjects include energy management principles, nutrition, and movement. Through this intense program, participants will acquire practical, user-friendly performance strategies to improve their energy management skills to invest their energy in what matters most. There is strong focus on helping participant's bed-in new practices utilising a range of 'accountability tools' to help this.

We can train Corporate Athlete in a location that suits your needs. If offsite, we encourage the use of Cyclelab, Design Quarter, Johannesburg where we have great access to physical fitness testing equipment, otherwise we transport the necessary equipment as needed.
