They’re driven.They care.They’re committed. But they’re trying to lead complex systems on a partially charged brain 🔋 Here’s the part we often miss… 🧠 The science is very clear Sleep isn’t passive rest.It ’s an active biological process that restores the very systems leaders rely on most. Peer-reviewed research consistently shows that insufficient sleep is associated with: ❌ Reduced prefrontal cortex activity, impairing judgement and impulse control (Killgore, 2010 -...

Most leadership and health work happens once people are already exhausted, reactive, or burnt out. That work matters deeply. But there’s something profoundly different about getting in early . Early career professionals don’t need rescuing. They need foundations . The science Behaviour science is very clear on this. Habits formed earlier in adulthood are more likely to persist because they become identity-linked, not task-based. Research on habit formation shows that repeated

🧠 Most leaders I work with think clarity comes from pushing harder…But the brain doesn’t work like a machine 🤖
We often assume that better decisions come from more effort…More hours…More thinking…More grit. In reality, sustained decision quality depends far more on recovery than effort. Here’s the reframe 👇 Your brain is a biological system, not a spreadsheet…and like any system, it degrades under continuous load. 🪫 The science is very clear. 🧪 What the research shows Decision-making draws heavily on the prefrontal cortex. This region is highly sensitive to fatigue, stress and sle
