John Eliot Biography

Dr. John Eliot helps leaders achieve extraordinary levels of performance with a combination of inspiration, education and scientific tools for performance enhancement.

John's newest book is "Help the Helper: Building a Culture of Extreme Teamwork" (with coauthor Kevin Pritchard). "What is it that makes truly special teams so special? In every industry there are one or two companies that are remarkable places to work -- where being part of the group makes you tougher, more confident, and more energized than you could or would be by yourself. Help the Helper will teach you how to build a team like that."

His previous book, "Overachievement: The New Science of Working Less to Accomplish More," explains why traditional strategies for performance enhancement, like goal setting, relaxation and visualization, just don't work for most people and offers his own counterintuitive alternatives.

An award-winning athlete himself, Dr. John Eliot teaches performance psychology, sociology and ethics at several universities, including the University of Houston and Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business. Dr. Eliot is currently serving as a consultant for the Stanford Medical Center and the Stanford Athletic Department. He is the former director of Rice's program in management and performance enhancement, where his Performance Psychology class was one of the campus favorites.

Raised by Olympic ski coach Rick Eliot, John won a Junior Ski Championship in Nordic Combined in Lake Placid in 1980 ... at the age of eight! He was Phi Beta Kappa at Dartmouth and All-American in both baseball and rugby.

He is the co-founder of The Milestone Group, a performance evaluation and consultation firm.

John also serves on a number of boards, including the Methodist Hospital, the Texas Medical Center's National Coalition for Drug-Free Performance Enhancement (which he presided over), and the Eliot School in Needham, MA; he has advised the president of Dartmouth College and two U.S. Senators.

Working with the MLB Alumni Association, Dr. Eliot launched the Legends of Baseball Vintage Showdown Series -- charity games featuring Hall of Famers playing with all the rules, equipment, and traditions from the inception of professional baseball in the 1880's.

John Eliot's book, "Overachievement: The New Science of Working Less to Accomplish More," combines the latest research in cognitive neuroscience with his own leading-edge work with high performance leaders, from executives at Merrill Lynch and top surgeons at the Texas Medical Center to artists at the nation's leading Shepherd School of Music.

John is a dynamic, enthusiastic speaker who, with his groundbreaking scientific approach, transcends the usual motivational speech to truly transform his audiences' potential.

John Eliot Speaking Topics

  • New Analytics

    putting away the pencil and paper personality tests and standardized performance measures. They will only leave you stuck reinforcing the norm. If you want to pass your competitors, you have to evaluate the intangibles of individuals and groups, triangulate character variables, and get to the bottom of the question, WHY? And you have to go beyond decorations, rewards, and promotions when it comes to creating a winning workplace atmosphere.

  • Flipping Psychology Upside Down

    focusing on creating happiness and success instead of the traditional medical/clinical model of finding "problems" and trying to eliminate "abnormality".

  • The Mindset of An Overachiever

    thriving under pressure, welcoming it, enjoying it, making it work to your advantage. Overachievers do not follow the rules we’ve all been taught: they tend to think that goal setting is for couch potatoes, "hard work" is overrated, and all those eggs belong in one basket.
