01The First-Ever Velocity Weekend
15 years in the making.
After training 50,000+ individuals, Steven Kotler has built a 3-day weekend intensive for CEOs, executives, and leaders to unlock peak performance for themselves and their teams.
You'll learn the psychology and neurobiology of peak performance, how to scale flow from individuals to teams, how to collaborate with AI without cognitive erosion, and how to build organizations that think faster, adapt better, and perform at their best when the stakes are highest.
02What You'll Gain
What to expect.
For You
Make flow and peak performance consistent instead of accidental.
Sharpen intuition and decision-making under relentless uncertainty.
Build resilience systems that break the burnout cycle.
Become more adaptable. Learn faster, pivot quicker, think on exponential timescales.
For Your Organization
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.
Multiply enterprise value through the fundamentals that drive it: output, quality, speed.
Attract and keep top talent by becoming the kind of culture they can't find anywhere else.
03Why we created this Weekend
It's never been harder to be a leader than it is today.
The data behind challenges CEOs and leaders face everyday:
Stress
01Stress doesn't slow your team down. It shuts off the brain you need most.
- 80%of employees report feeling stressed at work
- 51%are disengaged
- $300Bdrained from U.S. employers every year
Burnout
02Your team is already running at redline.
- 75%experience burnout — 25% feel it constantly
- 16%actively undermining their org
- 2.6×more likely to be actively job-hunting
AI Cognitive Erosion
03AI is eroding more than motivation. It's eroding how people think.
- 41%of workers encounter AI-generated “workslop”
- 57%never check AI output for accuracy
- 33%spike in decision fatigue

04The Reframe
This isn't a leadership problem. It's a biology problem.
Your brain is a prediction engine. Every second, beneath awareness, it runs simulations — mixing everything you've ever learned with everything happening right now to answer a single question: what happens next?
When the predictions land, you feel it. Agency. Command. The quiet certainty that you can shape what's coming. When they stop landing, you feel that too — the nervous system stops whispering I've seen enough of this to know how it goes and starts whispering something closer to no idea, boss.
That's where most leaders are living right now. Not because they got worse at the job. Because human biology evolved for a slow, local, predictable world — and the world stopped being any of those things.
The skill that matters now isn't prediction. It's adaptation. And adaptation can be trained.

07The Weekend
The weekend 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 — an organizational flow strategy 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 — in the room, out loud.
08The Work Behind the Weekend
“
I've worked with CEOs and executives 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. The leaders who move with urgency to the cutting edge will lead revolutions. The ones who wait can rest easy next to the dinosaurs.
