On today’s Tank Talk! We welcome our guest Dr. Haley Perlus, PhD, Peak Performance Coach to discuss “How CEOs Can Handle Adversity Like a High-Performance Athlete”

Since the age of 12, Dr. Perlus aspired toward a career in Sport and Exercise Psychology after competing nationally in downhill ski racing. Within one year of earning her PhD. at the age of 28, she became a professor, public speaker, and consultant to the US national team. Dr Perlus has written four books on peak performance and how athletes can continue to achieve their highest potential long into the future.

Sport Psychology has been coined the Science of Success because it studies how successful people optimize their psychological and emotional states for maximum results. 

On today's talk, you will get to hear Dr. Perlus’ thoughts on how CEOs can cope with their fear of failure and how to use stress to enhance peak performance. She shares her best tricks on how to get motivated to exercise after a long day of work, and how to avoid burnout as a young entrepreneur.
