Built for people & revenue leaders

Your teams are hitting quota and passing reviews. They're still leaving performance on the table.

Sales burnout and quiet attrition rarely show up as a single problem you can name — they show up as slippage: in sleep, in focus, in the energy a rep or manager has left at 4pm on a Thursday. Action Over Obstacles gives HR and Sales leaders a keynote, a team program, or both — grounded in positive psychology, not platitudes.

— current output — peak performance
Before you scroll past this as another wellness pitch

Three questions most HR and Sales leaders are already sitting with.

01

Is the burnout you're seeing on your team actually a workload problem — or a lifestyle-performance gap that no PTO policy will fix?

02

Your top reps are "fine." Are they closing at their ceiling, or just closing enough that nobody's asking what's underneath their number?

03

If your next offsite or kickoff keynote had to earn its slot on outcomes, not just applause — would it?

Two ways to work together

A keynote that lands. A program that lasts.

Most HR and Sales leaders start with one of these two tracks — some book both: a keynote to open the conversation at a kickoff or offsite, and a team program to make it stick.

Track 01 — Speaking

Keynotes & Speaking Engagements

Four signature talks, each available as a 25–30 minute spotlight or a 45–60 minute full keynote with live self-assessment, audience interaction, and Q&A. Built for sales kickoffs, leadership offsites, and all-hands events.

  • "Borrowing From Tomorrow" — alcohol-free performance & reclaiming your peak
  • "The 6 Pillars of Optimal Lifestyle Performance" — why balance drives output
  • "The Science of Becoming" — positive psychology & the PERMA model
  • "Why We Stay Stuck — And How We Change" — habits, ambivalence & mindset
  • In-person nationally or virtual worldwide

Track 02 — Team Coaching

Group & Team Lifestyle Performance Programs

Where the keynote starts the conversation, the 6-Week Peak IN-Sight Challenge and team coaching packages carry it into daily behavior — cohort-based, accountability-driven, and built on the same framework as the talk.

  • 6-Week Peak IN-Sight Challenge for sales, corporate & wellness teams
  • Live kickoff + weekly group accountability sessions
  • Daily tiered micro-challenges — no repeats, every pillar covered
  • 1:1 coaching available for individual employees inside the org
  • Delivered on Zoom or in-person — scoped to your organization

The framework behind every talk and program

The 6 Pillars of Optimal Lifestyle Performance

Every keynote and program is built on the same six interconnected pillars — so what your team hears on stage is the same thing they practice in the six-week program.

01

Optimized Sleep

Foundation of focus, recovery & emotional regulation.

02

Alcohol Awareness

The most normalized performance degrader in business culture.

03

Consistent Movement

Cognitive clarity, stress regulation, daily momentum.

04

Quality Nutrition

Steady energy and the sharp mind behind great decisions.

05

Meaningful Connection

Accountability and relationships that sustain performance.

06

Quiet Reflection Time

Reset, gain perspective, respond with intention.

Who this is built for

If either of these sounds like your team, this is worth a conversation.

Sales Leaders

High-performance sales & revenue organizations

Reps and managers who close deals and hit targets, but whose personal lifestyle pillars — sleep, movement, connection, reflection — have quietly moved to the back burner. Marginal, compounding gains matter to a quota-carrying team, and this framework speaks the language of execution and accountability your org already runs on.

HR & People Leaders

Corporate, executive & wellness-focused teams

Leadership offsites, executive teams, and organizations investing in employee wellbeing who want programming that's evidence-based and immediately actionable — not a one-off feel-good session that fades by Monday. Group and team packages sit alongside your existing wellness or EAP offerings rather than replacing them.

Before you reach out

Questions HR & Sales leaders usually ask.

How do you measure the impact of a keynote or team program?

Every full keynote and the 6-Week Peak IN-Sight program opens with a live self-assessment across the 6 Pillars, so your team has a real baseline. Team programs close with a personal performance plan participants keep — giving you and your team a before-and-after picture, not just a satisfaction score.

One of your keynotes is about alcohol. Is that a fit for a corporate audience?

"Borrowing From Tomorrow" is framed around performance, not intervention — it speaks to "middle lane" drinkers who aren't dependent but are consistent, a group that includes a large share of any professional audience. It's positioned as a performance topic, the same way sleep or nutrition is, and coaching that follows is confidential and never reported back to the organization. If it's not the right note for your event, the other three keynotes stand entirely on their own.

Is individual coaching confidential from the employer?

Yes. 1:1 coaching conversations are between the coach and the employee. Organizations receive program-level engagement information (attendance, completion), not individual coaching content. This is worth confirming in scope during your proposal call if confidentiality is a priority for your team.

Can this run alongside our existing EAP or wellness program?

Yes — this is positioned as a performance and lifestyle-design offering, not a clinical or mental health service, so it complements an EAP rather than duplicating it. If a participant needs clinical or dependency support, they're referred to the appropriate resources rather than coached through it here.

What size groups do you work with?

Keynotes scale from a single team to a full-conference general session. The 6-Week Peak IN-Sight Challenge is built as a cohort program — it works for one intact team or several teams run in parallel. Reach out with your expected size and we'll scope it directly.

Do you work with our procurement process — invoices, contracts, W9?

Yes, standard for corporate and conference bookings. Send your organization's requirements on the intro call and they'll be handled as part of the proposal.

How far in advance should we book?

For a single keynote, 4–6 weeks is typically enough. For a team program or a keynote tied to a specific kickoff or conference date, earlier is better — reach out as soon as the date is on your calendar and availability can be confirmed on the intro call.

What should we include when we reach out?

Your name and organization, event or program name, date and location, estimated audience or group size, preferred keynote or program, format (spotlight, full keynote, or team program), in-person or virtual, and any context on your goals — that's enough to come back with a real proposal.

What past clients say

Results, in their words.

"I took with me so many things that I will continue doing to keep me healthy and motivated. Jarrod is motivating, organized, and delivers exactly what he promises."

Vincent Stasi — Head Instructor & Owner, Vinjos Martial Arts

"The micro-challenges were simple and easy to implement — but over time they added up and made a real difference in my overall health, relationships, and personal goals."

Colin D. — 6-Week Peak IN-Sight participant

"By the end of each week I could look back and see I'd accomplished more than I could have imagined. It was really great to have other participants in the accountability sessions."
