In this final episode of 2024, I explore why taking proper holidays isn't just a luxury—it's a biological necessity. Drawing from leading research, including the Framingham Heart Study and findings from Ernst & Young, I reveal how extended breaks significantly impact our health, wellbeing and professional performance, with evidence showing that even small increases in holiday time can improve performance ratings by 8%.

The science is clear: taking regular holidays once or twice a year is essential for our cognitive health and professional success. Even planning a holiday can reduce stress and help us cope better with challenges. With this research in mind, I'm taking my own advice, and I’m taking a much needed break too! The podcast will be taking a break over summer and be returning in early 2025 with fresh perspectives on leadership and wellbeing.
