The Mental Edge
How to Win Every Time
Adapt to Change
Two decades ago, we developed the A-Game Transformation System™ (AGTS) originally to equip professional and Olympic athletes with a mental edge to consistently high perform in conditions of uncertainty and when under pressure. The system was customized for corporate clients in a business context.
Whether in sports or business, the organizations that thrive in disruption, complexity and high-stakes conditions are comprised of leaders and teams that play the inner game best. In the new world of work, winning the inner game requires the capacity and resilience to adapt to, keep pace with, lead and foresee change. By developing Future-Thriving Leaders™, we facilitate strengthening the muscle of adaptability so that it becomes a capacity, an identity and business as usual.
The staggering failure rate and extreme financial costs of unsuccessful change management initiatives ignited us to find new and better ways for our
clients to succeed in keeping pace in an era of high speed.
Our modernized frameworks have been adapted to demystify change in a corporate setting. Leveraging the newest insights from brain science and best practices of top performing enterprises, we guide our clients to break through resistance and move into readiness, to Win the People Side of Change™.

Research shows that one of the most common pitfalls to effective change management is underestimating the difficulty of moving people from their comfort
zones.
