Corporate Training
Powered by the
Athlete Mindset.
Using the mindset, discipline and execution standards of elite athletes, I design and deliver corporate training programmes that help organisations in Spain, the UK, Europe and the US perform at their absolute best.
This is not off-the-shelf training.
It's a methodology built in the field, on tracks, in boardrooms and across complex international projects.
THE CHALLENGE
Your team attends training and nothing changes.
Everyone sits through a two-day programme, nods along, and is back to the same habits on Monday.
Generic content that doesn't stick.
Off-the-shelf programmes that could apply to any industry, any team, anyone — and therefore resonate with no one.
No accountability framework after the training.
Skills are introduced but never embedded. There's no system to make sure the learning actually translates into performance.
Your people are capable, but not performing at their potential.
You know the talent is there. What's missing is the mindset, the standards and the culture to unlock it.
1
Diagnose First, Train Second
Every programme starts with a deep understanding of your team's current state, challenges and performance gaps. No assumptions, no generic frameworks.
2
Athlete Mindset Methodology
The same mental frameworks that produce elite athletic performance, goal clarity, resilience, execution standards, translated into practical corporate tools.
3
Embedded, Not Forgotten.
Follow-up checkpoints, accountability systems and practical tools ensure the learning becomes part of how your team works, not just something they heard at a workshop.
4
Measurable Outcomes
Clear KPIs agreed upfront. Performance benchmarks before and after. You'll know exactly what changed and why.
THE SOLUTION
Elite Sport Principles
Applied to Your Organisation.
Elite athletes don't perform at the highest level by accident. They follow precise systems, clear standards and a mindset built on discipline, resilience and execution. These same principles, when translated into the corporate environment, produce measurable, lasting change.
As a competing elite athlete and experienced business performance consultant, I bridge these two worlds. Every corporate training programme I deliver is tailored to your organisation's specific challenges, culture and goals.
Whether you're looking for a one-day intensive session, a multi-week programme or an ongoing training partnership, the methodology is always the same: clear objectives, real accountability, and outcomes you can measure.
Who This Programme is Designed For.
If any of these roles sound like you, or like the people you're trying to develop, this programme is built with you in mind.
Learning & Development Managers
You're responsible for the growth and capability of your organisation's people. You're looking for a training partner who brings a genuinely differentiated methodology — not another generic L&D programme that gets forgotten by Friday.
Senior Leaders & C-Suite
You want to install a high-performance culture across your organisation. You know the talent is there, what's missing are the standards, the mindset and the accountability systems to unlock it consistently.
HR Directors & People Teams
You're building the infrastructure for a resilient, high-performing workforce. You need training that goes beyond skills, one that shifts mindset, builds accountability and reduces the leadership gaps that drive turnover.
Organisations in Growth or Transition
Your organisation is scaling, restructuring or navigating change. You need your people to perform under pressure, adapt fast and maintain standards even when things are uncertain, exactly what elite athletes train for.
International & Multilingual Teams
Based in Barcelona, the UK or the US, with teams across the world? All programmes are delivered in English and designed to work across cultural and organisational boundaries, from biotech and pharma to consulting and the corporate sector.
WHY YVETTE
Chaos into consensus,
12+ years of turning visions into tangible results
I am a world champion sprinter and the Founder of The Project Runner — turning elite sport into business performance.
I bring together two worlds: project leadership and delivery, underpinned by the Athlete Mindset. Drawing on my experience at the highest level of sport, I help teams and organisations build the resilience, agility, focus and high-performance behaviours needed to navigate complexity, overcome challenges and deliver results.
With over 12 years of leadership experience across project management and clinical operational strategy, I have worked across academia, pharma and biotech, including early-phase clinical development in oncology. I have led global, cross-functional teams, navigated complex stakeholder environments, and delivered against strategic R&D objectives and clinical trial milestones.
Alongside my work in project and clinical leadership, I am a business consultant, helping organisations translate the principles and behaviours of elite athletes into stronger leadership, more effective teams, and improved business performance.
I hold a PhD in Bone Metabolism and am a PRINCE2 Agile Project Management Practitioner.
