About this episode
The modern workplace has created an epidemic of burnout that's quietly destroying careers and companies alike. Many professionals are quietly battling anxiety, sleep disruption, and physical exhaustion while maintaining a facade of having everything under control. TA leaders are currently navigating AI adoption, defending budgets, managing anxious teams, and are still expected to fill critical roles faster than ever.
So what kinds of systems can you put in place to prioritise your own wellbeing, while still making a lasting impact in your business?
My guest this week is Chris Ducker, a serial entrepreneur and bestselling author. Chris suffered a severe burnout in 2021 and has used the lessons it taught him to develop a Life Operating System that sits at the centre of his new book "The Long-Haul Leader." I've known Chris for a while now, and the advice and insights he offers are very much grounded in the reality of modern working life
In the interview, we discuss:
Building long-term business impact in disruptive times
Why self-care is strategic
The myth of work-life balance
Recognising the warning signs and avoiding burnout
The four key areas of the Life OS and how they intersect to drive results
The power of creative hobbies
Why data and what you do with it is so important
AI, friend or foe?
What does the future of work look like?
