ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We've turned "high performance" into a stick to beat people with but the people who've lived at the edge have a whole different view on potential and making work better. In this episode, Petra Velzeboer (mental health expert, author, cult survivor) sits down with four guests who've defined high performance in radically different worlds. From Military, elite Sport and the corporate world, they unpack the inefficiencies plaguing workplaces and give tips on what to do instead. If you really want a high performing team, you don't want to miss this. They get into:- Why focus, balance and team connection matter more than intensity- How "high performance" becomes a weapon - The link between clarity of direction and performance under pressure- Why EQ is about to become more valuable than IQ in an AI-driven workplace- Giving yourself grace: why operating at 100% all the time isn't sustainable or a useful goal- Vulnerability, trust, and empowerment as leadership skills, not flaws Featuring:🎙️ William Rigby is Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence, Lloyd’s Insurance. 🎙️ Michelle Westwood: Chief People Officer, Osborne Clarke law firm. 🎙️ Max Brown Psychologist, Olympic-level high performance coach. 🎙️ Caroline Turner-Inskip, Partner at Simmons and Simmons and Global Head of Wellbeing. If you've ever felt like "high performance" is code for "burn yourself out faster," this conversation will change how you think about it.👉 Subscribe for more conversations on mental health, leadership, and the future of work.#HighPerformance #WorkplaceWellbeing #Leadership #MentalHealthAtWork #Burnout
