    Hi Deborah

    How do you define “well-being” in the context of performance, and why is it crucial for overall success?

    • Hi – well-being in the context of performance is about looking after the self so that we have access to the resources necessary to perform well. For example, if we skip on sleep, eat poorly, don’t manage our stress well then we simply do not have access to the cognitive resources necessary to think strategically and logically – they go off-line. We are also much less inclined to collborate and/or share ideas. We might find we are over emotional and sensitive which means we damage the relationships we need to succeed. If we are not balanced and well we might perform for a day, a week or even a year, however, it is not sustainable and often lead to break-down and many lost opportunities on the way

      • Be very clear on your responsibility and accountability remit. Be prepared to have regular constructive workload discussions with your manager. Discuss and agree clear boundaries. Get good at saying no and clarifying consequences. Yes I can take that on but if I do, this other priority will be delivered in two weeks not one – is that ok? And always keep front of mind – if you try to please everyone, it will be you burnt-out and your professional responsibilities won’t count for much then.
