How can arborists sustain optimal performance throughout their careers by using the ready to work model? In this session, we will define optimal performance, and relate the concept to longevity in tree care. We will discuss the ready to work model and how you can use it to meet the demands of tree care in a sustainable way.

Using the ready to work model helps you optimize your physical capacity, mental capability, and emotional agility. We will discuss these three dimensions of performance and provide you with specific tools and techniques you and your team can use to optimize performance in each of these three dimensions. Applying these tools will support you in finding new and interesting ways to sustain optimal performance in your career as an arborist. You will leave the session inspired, and ready to work, with new tools to manage your physical, mental, and emotional energy.
