Learn the Physiological Keys to Being Exceptional Every Day
By Eileen McDonald


Our April 14 luncheon program features Eileen McDonald, Cofounder and Chief Coaching Officer at Axeos Performance Institute. Eileen works with top performers in corporate settings along with managing a successful private coaching practice. She brings advanced approaches from neuroscience, behavioral physiology, and systems theory, which allows her clients to observe their physiological stress response and manage their everyday stressors. She assists her clients in identifying patterns, behaviors, and characteristics that inhibit optimal performance.

In 2016, Eileen and her partner were awarded two patents that secure the intellectual property of a unique combination of techniques and technologies used to assess stress markers in the body and boost cognitive performance. The system provides individuals with real-time accurate and scientific measurements of how the mind, body, and autonomic nervous system operate while performing daily activities and challenges.

Eileen has over 25 years as a Register Nurse. During her nursing career, she specialized in areas such as adult cardiac care, pediatric intensive care, neonatal intensive care, patient education/coaching, and also held positions in management and leadership.

Ellen holds the following certifications:

  • American Holistic Nursing Credentialing Corporation Coach
  • Certified Behavioral Biofeedback and Capnography
  • Certified Conversational Intelligence Enhanced C-IQ Coach

Program Description:

Coaching is an innovative approach in which the mind, emotions and physical body are seen as playing critical roles in managing performance. The first step in managing one’s self is understanding the function of the body’s unique nervous system, or body signals, which are the invisible somatic cues that lead to visible changes in presence, presentation and performance.

In this fast paced VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, many of our clients are overwhelmed and stressed-out and not performing at their optimal level. Most individuals are unaware that the body’s physiology is the key to reaching optimal performance. When our system is out of balance, we act in ways that don’t seem rational. We have difficulty in sustaining attention, become less adaptable, and damage our own wellbeing.

Professional athletes understand the importance self-management and utilize techniques to achieve self-awareness, self-observation and self-regulation in order to be at the top of their game. The same principles can be applied to any top performer. More skillfully regulating the nervous system leads to improved focus, longer attention span, and increased productivity. 

Learning outcomes:

In this presentation, Eileen will explain how the nervous system works to enhance or derail performance and give you tools to assist you and your clients to be exceptional every day. In this session, expect to learn about:

 

  • Physiological reactions to stressors and why this keeps clients from performing at their best
  • The physiology of peak performance
  • The importance of self-awareness, self-observation and self-regulation in enhancing performance
  • Techniques to help our clients transform their physiological stress to productive efforts
