The Business Athlete: A New Playbook for Performance, Recovery & ROI in the People Business
In today’s economy, the organizations that win are not the ones that run the fastest — but the ones that recover the smartest.
Join business leader and performance strategist Alexander Fichera for an energizing session that introduces the Business Athlete methodology — a high-performance framework that’s reshaping how HR leaders attract, develop, and retain top talent in demanding environments.
Drawing from decades of experience in professional athletics, business ownership, and leadership consulting, Alexander reveals why recovery, not output, is the most overlooked driver of performance. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of energy management, talent development, and how to reduce people-risk through better hiring and internal development strategies.
This session goes beyond inspiration. It’s hands-on, research-backed, and built to help you:
And yes — we’ll also answer the #1 question HR leaders are asking:
“How do I sell this to my leadership?”
You’ll leave with practical, no-fluff strategies to make performance investment not just logical — but irresistible to executives.
Session objectives:
- Redefine Performance through Recovery - Understand why recovery is the new performance metric — and how it impacts productivity, wellness, and long-term retention. Learn how to measure and integrate recovery practices into your people strategy.
- Design Your Business Athlete Archetype - Learn how to lower hiring and development risk by designing an internal Business Athlete profile that emphasizes energy resilience, adaptability, and brand-conscious behavior — and how to track it with a physical, analog workbook that actually sticks.
- Make Your People Strategy Investable - Learn how to position HR initiatives (like energy management and recovery-based development) to executive leadership through data, access, and strategic narrative. Get the playbook for turning soft skills into hard returns.
