Agile Business Athlete: Recent Episodes
Agile Business Athlete
In 2019 the World Health Organisation identified burnout as an occupational phenomenon. Burnout among busy professionals is reaching epidemic proportions, and resulting in unhappiness, impaired mental health and shortened careers. The Agile Business Athlete Show is an exciting new podcast from Leanne Spencer that promises to show you how to beat burnout and have more fun using the simple and effective Agile Business Athlete methodology. The methodology is built around the notion of cadence. Rather than expect to be operating at peak performance all year round, if we introduce cadence or flow to the way we manage our energy, then we can perform at our best when we need to. In each episode, Leanne will be joined by special guests who will share their secrets of how they stay health and energised and ultimately, beat burnout.
