'From the edge of burnout to peak performance
Recovery is the hidden engine of high performance, enhancing focus, memory, emotional control, resilience, creativity and long-term health. The top performers are not the ones operating at full tilt; they are the ones who know how to reset, restore and re-energise with precision. In this session, Tom breaks down the key pressures driving stress, fatigue and burnout, and explains the biology behind them. He then provides clear, evidence-based recovery strategies that help you shift from survival mode to peak performance.
Mr Tom Coleman, Health Scientist & Sleep Coach
Tom is a passionate advocate for health who helps people transform their lives and their sleep and recovery strategies through proven evidence-base science. Tom’s approach and techniques are based on our biology rather than psychology. That means they work whether you believe them or not.
