Human Potential Research Project
Number of individual positions available: up to 4 We are a business and personal performance consulting and coaching firm that works with CEO's, executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals. This project will entail researching the scientific and psychological elements of getting into the "flow" or "zone." This is a state of optimal performance. Essentially, it's the ability for the average person to have optimal execution, productivity and results. Going from Clark Kent to Superman. We are able to take on up to 4 students. Students will be researching and compiling strategies for individuals to have optimal performance levels. They'll also be answering questions such as: how does a person get into the zone? How long can a person stay in the zone? What elements are required to optimize the zone? The research must be sound and from credible sources. The end product is a "how to" guide for getting into the zone. The purpose is to provide managers and individuals with a guide to optimize personal performance in the workplace, sports and even at home. The students will surely learn how to optimize their own performance along the way.

We believe this project will include: Apply mathematical/statistical analysis and computing methods to analyze data. Estimate the volatility, correlation for returns, forward contracts, and industry-specific futures. Presenting findings on our market risk exposure and provide recommendations.
