Regenerative Performance: Why You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup with Dr James Hewitt


Listen Later

In a world of 'hustle culture' and burnout, what if the secret to elite performance isn't grinding harder, but recovering smarter? 🤯


We're joined by James Hewitt, a human performance scientist and former professional athlete. He's here to challenge everything we think we know about productivity and wellbeing.


This isn't about working more. It's about a groundbreaking approach called Regenerative Performance. James unpacks why our traditional, extractive models of work are failing and why a leader’s personal wellbeing is the number one predictor of their organisation's wellbeing. He also reveals how something as simple as a three-to-four-day break can be as effective as a month-long vacation for recovery.


We explore the science behind chronotype bias, the surprising truth about coffee's effect on our brains, and how to use a "regenerative mindset" to thrive under pressure. From sleep to nutrition and even fitness, James provides the playbook for a working life that builds you up instead of burning you out.


Are you ready to stop running on empty and transform your approach to work and life?
