Performance Through Health
All industries are competitive. Businesses compete for perception, positioning, and ultimately, customers.
In order to compete and win, leaders must drive performance.
One big problem is that the methods currently used to drive performance are counterproductive over the long term, even if they are effective in the short term.
Through frantic pursuit of productivity, we unintentionally erode our ability to produce, create, and perform.
Often this vicious cycle is perpetuated by a reactive doubling down on the unsustainable practices the created the problem in the first place.
There are better solutions to raising performance.
Paths exist that drive high performance without burning out or eroding capacity over time
One huge component of this is health. One cannot pour from an empty cup. Personal well-being is a significant component of ability to perform, nil matter the domain.
This talk will introduce you and your team to our philosophy of performance through health, and the concept of the five arenas of physical health.
The path to sustainable high performance begins here.

Perform Better
Your maximum capacity for performance is largely influenced by your wellbeing. Understanding how better health improves capacity, and how poor health diminishes it, unlocks a pathway to high performance that can be sustained over a very long time. You may even clearly identify ways you are currently swimming against the tide, and be able to make vast improvements.
More Sustainable
Many of the methods often used to drive better productivity are useful in the short term. But often these tactics are unsustainable and erode your capacity over time. They will help over a week but but decrease your net productivity over a year. This talk will demonstrate the true cost of practices like this and illustrate how adopting a “performance through health” culture will not only solve the sustainability problem, but increase productivity at the same time.
Happier Work
When work has a negative impact on personal health, it has a negative impact on the whole of one’s life. Adopting a performance through health culture not only improves performance and sustainability of that performance, but it also improves health and wellbeing. When that happens, it positively impacts every area of a person’s life, bringing more vitality to other areas. This acts as a virtuous cycle, further improving creativity, job satisfaction, retention, employee loyalty and even customer loyalty.
