Athlete daily rhythm as a model

Most leaders know how to ramp up for performance. Far fewer know how to switch off. Operating at full speed all day without deliberately down-regulating keeps the brain and body in a prolonged stress state - impairing decision-making, recovery and next-day performance.

Andrew May (Mental Skills Coach to the Wallabies) explains why the ability to shift gears is a critical leadership skill, particularly for those operating under constant cognitive load.

He also shares a simple breathing technique that can lower your heart rate and begin calming the nervous system in under 30 seconds.
