About this Event

📖 Event Description

Success shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being. Join us for Performance Under Pressure: The Psychology of Sustainable Success, a Sprout Brunch & Learn designed for high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs redefining what it means to thrive.

Over coffee, conversation, and connection, performance psychologist Steve Shelton will guide you through the science and mindset behind lasting success. Drawing from his research on burnout in the cybersecurity industry and performance psychology frameworks used by elite teams, Steve reveals how to sustain focus, prevent burnout, and align your values with your goals — even when the pressure’s on.

This isn’t another productivity talk — it’s a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your purpose alongside others who are building what’s next.

Come hungry for insight and leave with practical tools to help you perform — and live — at your best.



✨ What to Expect
  • Interactive Mindset Work: Engage in reflective exercises and evidence-based burnout scales to identify where you are on the stress-to-sustainability spectrum. •
  • Live Dialogue with Steve Shelton: Explore how performance psychology, values alignment, and real-world leadership intersect in today’s high-pressure environments.
  • Guided Group Discussion: Connect with peers navigating similar transitions from corporate to entrepreneurial life — and uncover practical ways to protect your energy and purpose.
  • Brunch with Intention: Enjoy a curated brunch experience that blends nourishment, conversation, and connection in true Sprout style.
  • Action Planning: Leave with a personalized “Sustainable Success Map” to apply immediately in your work and life.
