Kirsten Peterson - Your "Inner Performance" Psychologist

High performance shouldn't hurt the people delivering it. That's the argument at the heart of Kirsten Peterson's talks, and she makes it as a sport psychologist who spent years repairing athletes that coaches had pushed to breaking point. Drawing on neuroscience and evidence-based psychology, she shows that people do their best work when they feel safe and aren't at war with themselves, not when they're under constant threat. Science and story run side by side, and her work reaches across sport, defence, medicine and the C-suite. Sessions can run as a keynote, after dinner or virtually, on subjects such as change, culture, stress and mindfulness. Standard AV with microphones and lighting covers it. She's based in Canberra and travels nationwide.
