01The First-Ever Velocity Weekend
15 years in the making.
After training 50,000+ individuals, Steven Kotler has built the most efficient delivery of peak performance. A three-day intensive designed to help you unlock peak performance in the age of accelerating technology and uncertainty. For leaders and individuals who want to maximize their output and capacity.
You'll learn the mental models and neurobiology of peak human performance, how to reliably drop into flow, how to collaborate with AI without cognitive erosion, and how to build high-flow teams that think faster, adapt better, and perform at their best when the stakes are highest.
02What You'll Gain
What you'll walk away with.
For You
Make flow and peak performance consistent instead of accidental.
Sharpen intuition and decision-making under relentless uncertainty.
Banish stress and burnout while expanding your capacity.
Become more adaptable. Learn faster, pivot quicker, think on exponential timescales.
For Your Team & Clients
Expand your team's capacity to perform under volatility instead of breaking under it.
Accelerate performance and retention at the same time by making the work itself more fulfilling.
Attract and keep top talent by becoming the kind of culture they can't find anywhere else.
03Why we created this Weekend
Peak performance has never been more important than it is today.
The data behind challenges in the workplace today:
Stress
01Stress doesn't slow you down. It shuts off the brain you need most.
- 80%of leaders report high stress at work
- 25%feel stress & burnout constantly
- 75%of professionals have hit burnout
Burnout
02Most teams are already running at red line.
- 51%of employees are actively disengaged
- 16%are actively undermining their org
- 2.6×more likely to be job-hunting during an active role
AI Cognitive Erosion
03AI is eroding more than motivation. It's eroding how people think.
- 41%of workers encounter AI-generated “workslop”
- 50%decrease in prefrontal cortex neural connectivity when using LLMs
- 33%spike in decision fatigue

04The Reframe
This isn't a motivation problem. It's a biological one.
In the twenty-first century, everyone is a leader. You can't count on an employer or boss — it's up to you to improve your personal performance while being able to translate that to the teams around you.
Velocity is the result of 15 years of training the neuroscience of peak performance. What used to take a 4–6 month training to deliver has now been streamlined down to 3 days. Velocity is for those who would rather learn fast and execute faster.
On a personal level, Velocity delivers the exact frameworks and mental models that allow you to get into flow consistently, improve your adaptability and resilience, and amplify your productivity without sacrificing wellbeing.
Steven will also teach the most efficient and effective way to translate peak performance to your team — or the leaders and teams you advise. The systems that have worked for the lean teams and organizations we've trained, like Google, Meta, Accenture, Audi, and others.
05Your Host & Special Guest
In the room, all three days.
Host
Steven Kotler
Founder & Executive Director, Flow Research Collective
Steven Kotler is a New York Times–bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences at Florida Atlantic University, where his work focuses on the neuroscience of flow, intuition, creativity, and human performance. He is the founder and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, one of the world’s leading research and training organizations dedicated to peak performance and human potential.
Recognized by The New York Times as “one of the world’s leading experts in ultimate human performance,” Kotler conducts peer-reviewed research on performance and cognition that bridges neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and complexity science. He is the co-author of the first Springer textbook on Performance Neuroscience (2026).
Special Guest
Dr. Sarah Sarkis
Head of Psychology, Flow Research Collective
A licensed clinical psychologist and executive coach, Dr. Sarkis has spent two decades inside the minds of CEOs, elite athletes, and Fortune 100 leadership teams — studying the unconscious patterns that make or break people at the highest level.

Velocity at a glance.
01
Day One — Thursday
The Map
We open with the terrain: exponential acceleration, the cognitive dissonance it creates, and the real challenges and openings of the decade ahead. Then dinner — because in a room of thirty leaders, the room is part of the curriculum.
02
Day Two — Friday
You
The neurobiology of peak performance, start to finish. Morning: the science-backed frameworks for goal-setting, energy management, and regulating your own nervous system. Afternoon: you build your personal high-flow blueprint — the one that drives output and staves off burnout. Tactical breakouts. Co-training. We close the evening with a Q&A alongside peak-performance psychologist Dr. Sarah Sarkis.
03
Day Three — Saturday
Your Company, and AI
Morning: how to build high-speed teams that thrive when the ground moves — the high-flow systems that scale to others, followed by a breakout session and a co-training mastermind. Afternoon: how to get real leverage from AI without letting it erode the way your people think. We close on your challenges — a Q&A session where we break down the bottlenecks you're facing and work through them in real time.
04
After the Training
Follow-up Execution System
A live Q&A with Steven Kotler and Dr. Sarah Sarkis. This session is set up to work through any roadblocks after you've taken the systems and models into the real world. Formatted as a discussion aiding in the execution and integration of what's been learned in Velocity.
05
Continued Training
Support & Follow-through
Two continued sessions with Steven Kotler and Dr. Sarah Sarkis, designed to help you navigate any new challenges that present themselves during the months after Velocity. You aren't on your own — we're here to make sure the results you see immediately after the training stick.
08The Work Behind the Weekend
“
I've trained peak performance to individuals and leaders for decades, and there's nothing like where we are right now. The game has new rules. The fight to stay at the top is more competitive than ever. Those who move with urgency to maximize their performance from the cutting edge will lead revolutions. The ones who wait until they burn out can rest easy next to the dinosaurs.
