“Leaders aren’t born. They’re built over time, and under pressure.”

Melissa Dawn Simkins uses the science of performance to help individuals avoid the crisis of burnout and deal with the pressure of leadership. She is the CEO of Velvet Suite and the creator of Athleadership, a discipline that uses neuroscience to condition leadership.

Melissa draws parallels between the skills of an athlete and the skills that leadership demands. Athletes use daily conditioning to thrive in volatility, make better decisions faster, and recover quickly.

Melissa’s method uses the elite mindset training to help leaders stay effective, and maintain stamina for consistent performance.
