The Psychology of Peak Performance with Dr. Jenny Susser

Описание: In this episode of Significance of Wealth, host Tom Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®, sits down with Dr. Jenny Susser — a performance psychologist, executive coach, and former U.S. Olympic Team sport psychologist — to explore what truly drives high achievers across both athletics and entrepreneurship.


Drawing from her experience coaching Olympic athletes and Fortune 500 leaders, Dr. Susser unpacks the science of sustained performance: why preparation is non-negotiable, how recovery fuels excellence, and what it takes to balance relentless drive with long-term wellbeing.

• Why energy management is the new productivity
• “Empty Tank Syndrome” and the cost of running on depleted reserves
• How to define enough and why emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing form the foundation of lasting success

Dr. Susser’s approach bridges clinical psychology, neuroscience, and real-world performance strategy offering powerful, practical insights for business leaders seeking to lead with clarity, energy, and emotional intelligence.
