─── ABOUT THE KEYNOTE
The fastest minds
in the world.
F1 is the most demanding performance environment on earth. Decisions happen in fractions of a second. The margin between first and eliminated is measured in hundredths. The mental architecture required to perform at that level, consistently, under pressure, across an entire season, is not accidental. It is built, practised and refined through specific disciplines.
Claire Johnson is the only British motorsport performance coach currently holding an active racing licence. She has raced at circuit level and coached world champions. Think Like an F1 Driver is the translation of those disciplines into the decisions, communication and performance culture of leadership teams.
Taking the principles of precision and performance, this talk is about the mental frameworks that allow elite performers to make better decisions faster, recover from mistakes without losing momentum, and operate at the highest level when the conditions are most difficult. Every principle has a direct leadership application, and Claire use real lived experiences from the world of F1 to bring them to life, showcasing how to implement into your Corporate environment.
Audiences leave with tools. And they tend to use them.
01
Decision Architecture
How F1 drivers make high-stakes decisions under extreme time pressure, and the mental frameworks that make fast, accurate decision-making repeatable rather than instinctive.
02
Marginal Gains in Practice
The compound effect of small, deliberate improvements applied consistently. How elite teams use marginal gains not as a concept but as a daily operating discipline, and what that looks like in a business context.
03
Performance Under Pressure
The mental protocols that allow elite performers to maintain precision when the conditions are hardest. Pressure management, recovery from error and the discipline of performing to process rather than emotion.
─── WHAT AUDIENCES LEAVE WITH
