Whether you want to get better at sales calls or improve your public speaking skills, we all can improve our performance, even if we aren't professional athletes. There are psychological skills that can help us learn to manage our emotions better, cope with self-doubt, and deal with negative thoughts.

Dr. Brook Choulet is a performance psychiatrist who works with some of the world's top athletes. She says that many high achievers struggle with hidden mental health issues, and improving their mental health is a key strategy to helping them perform at their best.

Some of the things we discuss are:

• Why high achievers often struggle with unseen mental health challenges such as anxiety and imposter syndrome, despite outward success


• Why establishing structured routines and boundaries is crucial for peak performance


• How to prevent burnout


• How to transform unproductive worries into actionable goals


• The link between mental health and peak performance


• The unique challenges faced by high-level athletes and executives
