Understanding Burn Out & Built For Pressure Update

from The Built For Pressure Podcast · host Will Foden

The Accelerator Is Not Your ProblemMost high performers I work with are not struggling because they lack drive.They are struggling because they are running a system that was never designed to sustain the pressure they are asking it to carry.In this episode, I am talking openly about what I am personally working on heading into the back end of Q1, how I have been decompressing and what sharpening the blade actually looks like in practice when you are running a business at pace.I also pull back the curtain on a client of mine, Anna, who on paper had everything dialled in. But underneath the surface, everything was a firefight. Her bottleneck was not resilience or discipline. It was an unstable system running at full throttle with no idea how to use the handbrake.That is the conversation most people are avoiding.In this episode:Why burnout is physiological before it is psychological, and what that actually means for how you operate.The F1 car analogy that every CEO and executive needs to hear.Why acceleration is not the answer at a certain level, and what you need instead.The new developments inside Built For Pressure including the Executive Performance Diagnostic and Crisis and Burnout Programme.The Corporate Athlete Workshop is coming in April at the Rise Platform for DeepSky.If you are a CEO, founder or executive operating under sustained pressure and you want to understand how your physiology is dictating your performance, this one is for you.🔗 Connect with me:Linkedin: @willfodenInstagram: @willfodenWebsite www.builtforpressure.net#LeadershipPerformance #Highperformance #ExecutiveMindset #PeakPerformance #BusinessLeadership #EnergyManagement #ResilientLeadership #OptimizeYourself#mentalclarity #peakperformance #PersonalStandards#SuccessUnderPressure #EntrepreneurLife #ElitePerformance #ProductivityHacks #CEOHealth #sustainablesuccess  #leadershipdevelopment  #worklifebalance  #trainsmart #masteryourenergy
