In this episode of Stay at the Top, I unpack the simple health dashboard every high performer should be using to better understand their energy, performance and recovery.
Your body is communicating with you every single day through signs and signals like your energy, appetite and performance. When you learn how to read those signals and combine them with the right objective data, you move from guessing to making informed decisions about your health and your performance.
This episode explores how to use both subjective signals and objective data to create a simple dashboard that helps you spot patterns earlier, prevent burnout and sustain high performance over time.
In this episode, I cover
- Why high performers track business metrics but ignore health signals
- The concept of a daily health dashboard for performance and wellbeing
- The three subjective metrics everyone should track: energy, appetite and performance
- Why these signals often escalate when we ignore them
- How objective data from wearables can help reveal what is happening beneath the surface
- Why the combination of subjective signals and objective data is the sweet spot
- A personal story from my first international keynote where this dashboard helped me recognise early signs of illness and make a smarter decision
Key Quotes
“You cannot improve what you are not measuring.”
“Energy is not something you either have or you don’t. Energy is something you create.”
“When you start paying attention to the signals, patterns emerge.”
