Inner Strength, Outer Impact: Mental Training to Thrive in Change

Mental training for owners, executives, athletes and anyone who wants to thrive in change and start 2026 on solid ground in life and work.

About this Event


On paper you’re doing fine. In reality, you’re tired in a way the holiday break won’t really fix. You’re holding clients, staff, family, headlines, and a calendar that never lets up, and you’re still expected to be the steady one.
Craig originally developed this workshop while at Google, where it became a regularly requested session for managers and teams navigating constant change.
This 60-minute workshop is about training your mind like you’d train your body. We’ll use both in-the-moment tools you can rely on before a big meeting, conversation, or performance, and dedicated focused-attention practices that, over time, create real mindset shifts so you’re not running on fumes when it matters.

You will:

• See what is happening in your brain and nervous system under pressure
• Practice simple, repeatable techniques to reset quickly and refocus in the moment
• Explore longer-term “mental gym” practices to start 2026 on solid ground

Designed for business owners, executives, athletes, and anyone who is the person others turn to when things get noisy.
