Leaders get to where they are because of their resiliency and drive. Their no-nonsense attitudes and their tireless approach to growth and development. Right?
Maybe.
But that kind of drive can also lead to burnout if leaders aren’t careful about taking care of their whole selves. High stress jobs can lead to sleepless nights, missed meals, putting off exercise, poor nutrition, dehydration, myriad health problems, and more. Too much of that and leaders will find themselves just barely getting by.
If this sounds all too familiar, you’ll want to tune into this week’s podcast episode with performance coach Deepak Saini. Staying healthy while performing at the peak of your professional career isn’t as difficult as it might feel. It takes some habit stacking, paying attention to your energy, and trying out things that help you decompress so you can get the most important thing to your health…a good night’s sleep.
