How it works
Answer 20 yes/no questions to see how you can improve your health and performance
We all have a sense that it's important to look after our health. But many executives tend to prioritise career over their health, without fully realising the damage it does in the long term. More importantly, it is now clear from the science that health actually drives better performance.
Therefore, taking the time to invest in our health will also improve performance in our careers and in life generally.
Health is based on four key pilars: mindset, nutrition, movement and sleep. If you are strong in one but weak in the others, your health will ultimately suffer. Peak health lies at the intersection of these areas.
Take this quick survey to see how you measure up in each of the four pillars. We will send you a personalised report with information and insights on how you can improve your health and supercharge your performance.
You’ll be scored against the following key areas:
Mindset
Mindset is central to achieving sustainable, healthy changes in your life. It also allows us to live life to the fullest, as opposed to going through life on "auto pilot". Knowing your "Why" for making healthy changes is important, as is being mindful of our daily habits and how they either support or undermine our health and performance.
Nutrition
Food is not just something we stuff in our face when we're hungry. It is our fuel, and also the building blocks for our bodies. Our bodies are constantly regenerating and we essentially become what we eat. Putting healthy stuff in leads to a strong, healthy body and mind. Our energy levels and focus, as well as overall health are largely dependent on what (and when) we eat.
Movement
We evolved to move! We were either running away from predators or running after prey. Our modern world has essentially engineered movement out of our lives - and it's killing us. But we can reintroduce a sensible amount of movement back into our lives to support a healthy mind and body. And it doesn't mean having to spend hours a week in a soulless gym. Movement can and should be fun!
Sleep
Sleep is one of the most important activities in our lives. It's also the one we take most for granted and try to limit. Lack of good quality sleep over time is not only deeply damaging to our health, it also negatively impacts on our performance. Even low levels of sleep deprivation cause impairment in decision making, irritability, and poor retention of new information.
Who we are
