Headshots for Founder & CEO of The Achieve Institute
“Sometimes you learn the most when things don’t go your way, instead of when things work out the way you want.”
Earlier this year, I had the privilege to photograph Mark Cunningham, founder and CEO of The Achieve Institute. I asked him to share a piece of advice he’d learned from his journey so far:
“Where I learned the most wasn’t in school. I was training in elite-level sports, but had some disappointments and – let’s face it – failures. Where I failed in my goals as an athlete is actually where I learned and grew the most, making the next thing I did successful.”
“I’ve now run my own organization for 22-23 years. We help organizations optimize their performance and be more productive in a way that leaves people energized, not burnt out. My athletic experience helped me learn some of the secrets to high-performing teams that I now share with my clients.”
“Alissa reminded me of a lot of people that I’ve worked with over the years. It’s really great to work with someone who knows what they’re doing. She knows these little secrets to make the experience – and photos – better, setting her apart. I found it similar to my business in that way.”
“Wherever we go, whomever we talk to, people are looking for ways to do more and be better in a sustainable way.”
