Workshop Programs
Every program is built on the Medalist Mindset™ framework — the mental performance system behind Olympic medals, adapted for teams that need to perform under real-world pressure.
-
The flagship Medalist Mindset™ program is a 5-part performance and leadership workshop series led by Olympian Shannon Rowbury and executive strategist Bob West, co-founders of West Strategy Group. Through interactive sessions and practical tools, participants learn to strengthen focus, build meaningful routines, and apply mindset strategies — like mindfulness and work-life integration — to thrive in high-pressure environments.
Each session runs 60–90 minutes and maps to one of the 5 Keys of Medalist Mindset. Participants receive the Medalist Mindset™ workbook.

Key Outcomes:
- Shared performance language the whole team can reference
- Practical reset tools for high-pressure moments
- Meaningful daily routines that compound over time
- Resilience and accountability frameworks for real deadlines
