The Science of Peak Performance

This special presentation is part of the RW Horizon Fund's Minds in Motion pilot program.

Join us for a co-sponsored event with the Telluride Foundation. The event is free but rsvp is required. There is donor reception from 4:30-5:30 preceding the presentation which starts at 5:30 pm.

Behind every elite athlete is a mind trained to perform under pressure, recover from setbacks, stand out with courage, and adapt when the game changes. The same mental skills that separate good athletes from great ones are the same principles that drive exceptional leadership, teamwork, and innovation.

In this keynote, Dr. Haley Perlus explores the science of peak performance, showing the proven connection between psychology, physiology, and behavior that allows high performers to stay composed, confident, and effective in the moments that matter most.

Through relatable stories from sport and science, Haley breaks down how to harness the champion mindset in business, science, and life. Whether you’re leading a team, managing a project, or navigating your next big challenge, this session gives you the mindset tools to perform at your best when it counts.

Olympian and Professional Skier Wendy Fisher will moderate a Q & A with Dr. Perlus after the presentation.
