 ProNet Performance Seminar (CHARLOTTE, NC)
ProNet is a private/public partnership, created by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Workforce Development Board, that brings together local businesses who donate in-kind services with a grant from the State of North Carolina Department of Commerce - Workforce Development Division. Since February 2009, ProNet Charlotte has touched over 2,000 professionals in career transition, where it serves as a transition space for displaced professionals looking to use innovative tools, resources and networking opportunities to advance their job search. ProNet participants span every industry and typically average 15+ years career experience. Short for Professional Network, ProNet is your resource to re-focus, re-direct and re-connect…where the over-reaching goal is to retain Charlotte's top talent to ensure the city remains globally competitive. Dr. Jacques Dallaire donated his time to the ProNet group to present a half-day seminar/workshop that focused on “Mental Skills and Performance: Remaining Competitive in the Most Challenging of Times”. The seminar was well received and a number of participants commented that it was in the most challenging of times that the skills discussed were most important…but also that this is time when it was most difficult to bring these skills to bear on their performance. Following the workshop, they felt better prepared to handle these challenges and to regain a measure of confidence and refine their ability to focus on the ‘right thing at the right time’.

 Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) Performance Seminar(CONCORD, NC)
Marcus Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) elected (in mid-2010) to undertake a Team Performance Program with members of his executive teams, both for SMI and for Charlotte Motor Speedway. The program (comprising 22 participants thus far) launched on June 8th, 2010 with the first group, to be followed by a second group on August 12th. Following the day-long workshop undertaken with each group, Dr. Jacques Dallaire met with each participant individually to develop and follow up on personal ACT Performance Models designed to help them to effectively deal with the stresses of the high performance business environment, and to optimize their own personal performance. Given the perceived success realized already through this process (based upon feedback from participants), Mr. Smith has decided to extend the program to include the executive teams from the other seven racing facilities that SMI owns, as well as other SMI properties. The plan going forward will be to schedule the Team Performance Program in the months ahead, on a timeframe that works with each facility’s schedule of activities. The eight SMI motorsport facilities include: Charlotte Motor Speedway; Atlanta Motor Speedway; Las Vegas Motor Speedway; Bristol Speedway; Kentucky Motor Speedway; New Hampshire Motor Speedway; Texas Motor Speedway; and Infineon Raceway.

 Performance Seminar – Mazda Motorsports North America (LONG BEACH, CA)
Dr. Jacques Dallaire spent the Wednesday and Thursday before the Long Beach Indy Car Grand Prix with five members of the Mazda Motorsports North America executive team, undertaking a full-day Performance Program workshop and individual follow up with each member of the team to develop personal ACT Performance Models. John Doonan (Manager, Motorsports Team Development) and Jim Jordan (Alternative Marketing Manager) were aware of Dr. Dallaire’s work with drivers and teams around the paddock (a number of them Mazda racers) and given that their executive team is small and has a great deal of activity and responsibility on their plate, they wanted to ensure that each member of the team was able to bring their "A" game to their job in 2010 and beyond. Their 'take away' was summed up by John Doonan, "…the session you put together for our small working team could not have come at a better time and could not have had a greater impact. Due to our size, we are all often running way too hard to stop and think about our focus or perspective. You really gave each of us as individuals, the tools that we can now apply to our own day-to-day work processes, allowing us to be more effective and as such, making a direct impact to help us bring our "A" game each time we confront a "performance".
