How Leaders Can Maintain Healthy High Performance in Challenging Times
In this era of rapid change and challenge, people are facing skyrocketing stress and burnout. The demand to deliver better outcomes, higher results and more impact has never been greater.
Through stories, science and clear strategies, Dr. Wells shows you how to elevate your energy, shift from tension to flow and craft high performance in the face of uncertainty and rapid change.
You’ll learn to leverage the twin cycles of peak performance, tactics to help you recover and recharge faster and how to implement techniques to achieve peak performance in demanding conditions.
Dr. Greg Wells is a scientist, human physiologist and best-selling author who translates complex science into practical strategies to help people craft healthy, sustainable high performance.
After breaking his neck at age 15 and returning to elite level swimming, he completed endurance events like the Nanisivik Marathon 600 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Ironman Canada and the Tour d’Afrique, an 11,000 km cycling race that is the longest in the world.
Dr. Wells earned a PhD in human physiology, was a tenured professor at the University of Toronto, and is now a senior scientist at SickKids Hospital.
He has written five best-selling books and hosted the award-winning Superbodies series that aired on Olympic broadcasts worldwide in 2010 and 2012.
Wells’ moonshot is to solve the billion-person problem of sleeplessness, metabolic syndrome, inactivity and mental health so everyone can live a limitless life.
Dr. Wells lives and works with his family in Toronto.
