A High-Performing Mind Keynote Speaking & Seminars with Andrew D. Thompson


Andrew D. Thompson— High-performance coach and author of A High-Performing Mind, has spent a lifetime searching for the best ways to empower people to overcome adversity, improve resilience, and consistently bring their best to everything they do so that they can get better results, achieve their goals, and create lasting improvements in their lives.

Andrew shares the most powerful habits, mindsets, insights, and mental tools of high-performers from his time and experience as a professional athlete, hospitality industry executive, high-performance coach, and individual who had to overcome a near death experience that left him bedridden for over four and a half months and took him 5 years to recover from.

Andrew has been coaching and helping people of all ages and all walks of life, including elite athletes, high performers, and business leaders over the last 25+ years.

Popular Quotes by Andrew:

“You’re the same person 10 minutes after you fail, only wiser.”

"If you have hurt or angry feelings about someone, your mind is living in the past. You will let go of this at some point in the future, but you may as well let go of it now so you don't miss out on another moment of feeling happier."

“Adversity is almost certain to come along on the way to achieving our goals. By preparing for it and knowing how we will respond positively if it does, we're mentally stronger, more resilient, and able to keep going until we succeed.”

“Stay focused on what you’re trying to accomplish instead of all the ways you can fail.”
