Do you believe you have barely tapped your potential career?

Do you know that you could change your business, your industry, and the lives of those around you if you just got the chance?

It’s time to make your own chances with The Peak Performance Formula.

As a Bay Area resident and longtime Silicon Valley executive coach, Bob Lesser knows the stresses of career development firsthand. His advice, research, and 30 Day Peak Performance Challenge draw from his own experiences and research, yet can be applied much further than just the workplace.

Whether you are a struggling athlete or a high powered executive, The Peak Performance Formula will guide you to become your best and not settle for mediocrity.

In this actionable guide to achieving one’s peak performance, Lesser shares his analysis of the three pillars of success: purpose, values, and vision. He incorporates case studies from real-life peak performers: people and organizations that are the best and the brightest.

Bob will help you examine these questions in detail, so you can find the answers that are waiting within you:

What exactly is purpose and how can you pinpoint yours?
How can values improve your fulfillment and performance?
How can you utilize vision to ensure you’re getting where you want to go, regardless of your chosen endeavor?

Bob will show you how the most successful leaders are innovative and influential, and contextualizes his argument within neurological, psychological, and religious research so you can trust your instincts and have the relentless courage to succeed.
