You can be a king or queen.

Or you can build a better kingdom!

Awaken your Game-changing greatness

HOP is a data-driven, boundary-breaking, high-performance producing community and group of educators and coaches that believes “Higher Order Performance” steams from the mastery of the highest levels of performance using the philosophy and technology of neuroscience.

We aim to deliver the highest levels of high performance coaching and leadership and were founded on the premise of “building a better kingdom” for all. We are doing so by raising the performance of the world’s top athletes, sports teams, executives and business organizations.

We stand by the “better kingdom” vision because we believe that when the elite rise to new heights of performance and achievement, the standard rises and their impact increases. This in turn pushes other aspiring leaders and entire industries into awakening their game-changing greatness.

We focus on what can be made possible, authentically.

In the name of raising the bar of possibility and legacy, we spend our days giving elite-level teams the guidance, mentorship, coaching and science-based insights they need to soar to heights and achievements previously unknown.

Despite our love for the technology and neuroscience behind our work, you won’t ever find us forging numbers, promoting enhancements, or delivering false marketing. Our work is about authentic human potential and what can be made attainable when we choose to operate at the most elite level of our professions.

At HOP®, we pride ourselves on:

Dedicating ourselves to a cause bigger than any one of us.
Fostering authentic human potential, made attainable when we choose to operate at the most elite level of our professions.
Helping high level professionals and professional athletes rewire themselves and their organizations to drive high performance without artificial stimulation.
Using the latest in neuro-technology to expedite and create greater ease and data monitoring through the transformation process.

SPORTS & MILITARY BACKGROUND
Corey became an elite athlete early in life, provincially-ranked in wrestling and nationally-ranked in running. Having always been able to see the potential that was in front of him, he also realized the need for greater coaching and resources to help elite level athletes reach the pinnacle of their success. Enrolling in the military post-graduation fostered a “Grit Mindset” for Corey and a dedication to a purpose bigger than himself: that of protecting a country’s freedom. There, he learned the value in team cohesion and that any one of us is only as good as the rest of the team. Put these experiences together and it is clear why Corey has dedicated himself to helping team perform at the highest level.

A LIFE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Corey has been an entrepreneur since the age of 10, when he started his first company as a landscaper. By the age of 12, he had ten friends working for him and understood the power of margins. In college, he dove into the fields of contracting and renovations work as an entrepreneur, while working graveyard shifts at a local mill. Simultaneously living in the throws of entrepreneurship and the blue-collar life, forged within him an unshakeable work ethic that remains second nature to him to this day. As the founder and CEO of the Performance Solutions and SaaS Company, RPM Partners, Corey raised the bar on performance management by instilling the highest levels of collaboration and communication within his organizational clients. His work spanned the industries of healthcare, education, government and financial services, and helped bridge the gap between the vision and strategic objectives of senior leadership and operation execution of those objectives.

AWARDED SPEAKER
Winner of national speaking titles and fearless competitor at international levels, Corey is a speaking champion, author, and trainer. When asked about his greatest takeaways from his speaking experiences, it was how much he learned from his setbacks as much as his successes.

“[Corey has a] great wealth of knowledge, business acumen and is proficient in assisting companies’ growth, performance and employee retention. You will understand and find a new respect for the philosophies of 'why' something was implemented as standard operational procedure in a company’s structure. He has a way of simplifying complex subjects and making it more common sense thinking and will challenge you to think outside the vast amounts of different corporate policies and wisdom we have all read through in our career paths. Corey is great at building competence as well as confidence in those that he works with
and does so in a fun and respectful environment.” – Brian Michael, Founder, Pivot Point Management Corp; former General Manager, ATLAS Steak and Fish; former General Manager, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Limited
