Speaker Development Series: Raise Your Floor! Setting the Standards for Sustained Excellence

Date & Time: January 21, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM ET

Many high-performers focus on reaching peak moments, pushing hard, and chasing big wins, but this approach can leave individuals and teams burned out and unprepared for what comes next. True, sustainable excellence is not about rising to the occasion; it is about maintaining a consistent, intentional standard. When it is time to perform, people do not rise to their ceiling, they fall to their floor.

In this session, Steve Mellor, a professional speaker specializing in leadership and high-performance development, will show you how to define, elevate, and maintain your personal and team “floor” to create a foundation for consistent, long-term success.

Key Takeaways

• Identify your current minimum standard and elevate it strategically

• Understand what it truly means to prepare for high performance

• Equip yourself and your team with tools to sustain excellence over time
