Dealing with pressure and stress in a climate of continuous change

After many years of coaching top athletes, Alain Goudsmet and Koen Gonnissen have specialised in guiding and coaching another group of people who are continuously exposed to pressure: employees, entrepreneurs, managers and executives - who they label as 'Corporate Athletes'.

A heavy workload, too many overtime hours, the continuous threat of cutbacks, deadlines, priorities, urgencies...how do you keep your head above water? The need for creative and innovative thinking forces us out of our comfort zone. How far does your Resistance extend? Increasing absences due to “being sick” prove that many go too deep into their mental, emotional and physical reserves!

This book gives insight into the mechanism of high sustained performance. The authors provide numerous practical tips to help break through the daily grind of stress, and to perform excellence without unnecessary leaks of energy. They show that the solutions are simple and within easy reach. Every employee can be and train to become a 'Corporate Athlete'.

And you? Are you a Corporate Athlete or a Corporate Kamikaze?
