Your top performers are among the very best. Are they doing the best they COULD ?
Astronauts, athletes, surgeons, musicians, lawyers, and fighter pilots all have one thing in common: when the results really count, there is only one way to develop elite performers. It starts with immersive simulations reinforced by deliberate practice, managed competition, coaching, and collaborative teams.
Let us show you how to apply these lessons to your organization.
Darryl Cross
Globally recognized expert in high performance and team dynamics, specializing in organizations already stocked with the top 1% of achievers. He has inspired over 10,000 executives, professionals, and athletes across more than 100 countries to harmonize body, mind, and mission in their pursuit of continuous growth.
Body, Mind, Mission: Success without regrets
Achieving Sustainable Excellence
We have a different philosophy when it comes to sustained performance. It is about achieving more, not doing more. No one should have to sacrifice health, relationships, or their passion for their career. It’s about finding harmony between your body, mind, and mission.
Too often, success leads to neglected families, declining health, and overwhelming stress. But, the lessons learned from astronauts, trauma teams, professional athletes, Navy SEALS, lawyers, business executives, and other high-stakes professionals show there’s a better way to achieve sustainable performance. Harmonize body, mind, and mission.
Body: your engine
Your body is the engine that drives your success. It’s the source of your power and resilience, and like any engine, it requires care to perform at its best. Fitness, proper nutrition, and proper recovery keep the engine running smoothly. Neglect it and your engine will eventually make you stop. Contrary to what many think, this is the MOST important variable because it is in your control. It should be addressed first in any performance plan for a stressful environment.
Mind: your fuel
Your mind is the fuel that powers the engine, ignites your drive, and sustains your momentum. High-quality fuel—built through trust, mindfulness, and focus—allows you to think deeply, overcome obstacles, and perform under pressure. Without time to recharge or the ability to rely on others, the fuel burns out, leaving you stuck. Nurturing personal relationships, collaborating, and following your passions outside your domain allow you to maintain the spark needed to go forward.
Mission: your destination
Your mission is the destination, the purpose that gives direction to your journey. It’s the common thread that unites you and your team. Your mission is the deeper reason you press forward—not for compensation, guilt, or ambition, but for the meaning it brings to your life. Whether it’s your career, family, or personal passions, your mission fuels your commitment to something greater than yourself.
