Balanced approach

I frequently call top achievers “corporate athletes” — people who recognise the balance between stress (energy spent) and recovery (energy renewed).

How well we take care of our body affects how well we perform under pressure. To be truly effective in our professional endeavours, we must first make sure we have the necessary energy to leave a lasting impression.
