Dr. Julius Thomas joined Verizon business to discuss Performance, Purpose, and Leadership Under Pressure

Last week in Boston, former NFL star and Founder of Optimal Performance, Dr. Julius Thomas, joined Dan Falkner of Verizon Business for a powerful fireside chat at the Customer Advisory Board Meeting, an intimate gathering of top executives across healthcare and manufacturing.

Their conversation explored what it truly means for high performers to rise to the occasion when the stakes are high, the pace is relentless, and the landscape is constantly changing. Julius shared insights from his journey from the NFL to earning his doctorate in psychology, connecting mental mastery, resilience, and purpose-driven performance to the challenges leaders face every day.

It was an evening focused on growth, self-awareness, and the mindset required to lead with clarity and confidence, both in business and in life.
