Episode notes

What do elite sport and high pressure business environments have in common? Everything.

In this episode of Stay at the Top, I am joined by Ezio Mormile. Ezio is a keynote speaker, mindset and leadership coach, and the creator of the Corporate Athlete Program, a framework built on eight pillars designed to help people operate at their best in demanding environments.

Ezio works across boards, senior leadership teams, high growth businesses and elite athletes, teaching them how to develop tactical awareness, protect their mental and emotional energy, and build the systems that enable long term performance. He brings a rare perspective that blends sport, psychology, leadership and human behaviour.

This conversation is filled with practical tools, powerful stories and actionable insights. It is an ideal way to reflect on how you have been operating this year and start considering how you want to show up in 2026.

- Tactical awareness and why it separates top performers from everyone else

- How to manage energy, focus and recovery in high pressure seasons

- The difference between intensity and consistency
