Dr. Kimberly Wagner is a licensed psychologist who’s spent more than a decade studying the performance of elite athletes and working with them in her private practice.
During an extended study of Major League Baseball’s best players, she found myself fascinated by the question:
What separates the truly elite players from the simply average ones?
After working with some of Major League Baseball’s greatest competitors, she confirmed that it all comes down to a set of specific mental skills and characteristics that propels them to peak performance above the rest.
In other words, elite athletes play the mental game at a higher level.
But here’s what’s even more fascinating: This set of mental skills and characteristics didn’t just open the door to an elite level of play. It also extended these players’ careers beyond the typical two-to-three-year-average of most MLB athletes.
The right mindset creates not just top-level performance but also longevity without burnout—the holy grail for high-impact achievers.
Today, she works with professionals from all disciplines who work at a similarly elite level, experts who expect the highest level of execution from themselves day in and day out, including:
- CEOs and other C-suite executives with bold plans for the companies they lead
- Entrepreneurs getting new ventures off the ground
- Ambitious founders who want to scale their business and break through their current revenue ceiling
- Leaders looking to create dynamic, high-performing teams that outperform expectations
- Attorneys with high-profile litigation cases who need an edge
- Surgeons who perform risky surgeries and need to stay at their sharpest
- Investors in the finance industry looking for the “next big thing” to push their portfolio to the next level
- And many other high-level professionals who know they’re capable of more
- I teach them the same critical set of mental skills and characteristics I discovered in MLB’s top athletes.
These skills help them dramatically raise their mental game, perform at their peak, and set the stage for a long career with a significant upward trajectory. Previously, these distinctions were only available as one-on-one clients. After experiencing her clients’ dramatic transformations in my private practice, she wanted to make this life-changing information available to anyone who wants to achieve peak potential in their professional career. Therefore, she created Believe It, Achieve It so professionals like you could train with Dr. Wagner — anywhere in the world, any time of day, 24/7 — and master the skills you need to play a higher mental game.
In addition to her Believe It, Achieve It course, she has been featured on the following podcasts:
