Mission Ready
Mental performance training to build bulletproof teams, make tough decisions, and solve complex challenges.
Powerful, professional mental performance training for individuals and teams.
By Professional Psychologist and Astronaut Instructor, Susan Charlesworth.
For over a decade I’ve been training people to perform at their best in the toughest places in the solar system. Astronauts flying to the International Space Station. Ground Control teams supporting them. Antarctic explorers on 12-month missions to the coldest place on Earth. I taught them fundamental, practical, psychological skills. How to work together. How to communicate effectively. How to adapt and solve problems. Skills that are vital in high-risk environments and just as vital elsewhere.
If you want to make changes in your organisation that stick. If you want to make your workplace happier, healthier and more productive. If you want coaching and training that’s worked for the best. I’m here to make you the best you can be.
