Essential tools for all leaders to balance between a high-performance and high-care culture.
--Calvin McDonald, CEO of Lululemon Athletica Inc.

A powerful, first-of-its-kind, evidence-based guide to help you manage stress, show up as your best self, and lead more effectively--even under intense pressure.

Leaders are expected to be strong, dynamic, intelligent, and level-headed. As a leader, you may feel compelled to embody a "superhuman" standard--especially under pressure--or make personal sacrifices in order to get a project done well and on time. You might ignore the warning signs of mental health issues such as sleeplessness and fatigue--after all, who has time to sleep? And, to make matters worse, you may rely on unhealthy behaviours such as consuming alcohol to deal with the overwhelming stress of daily life. So, how can you break this destructive cycle, prioritise your mental health, and optimise performance?

This workbook offers skills and strategies based in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), as well as dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to soothe stress, avoid exhaustion, and build the resilience required to show up as your best self. You'll gain a greater understanding of the specific psychological challenges inherent in leadership positions, the emotional toll it takes professionally and personally, and--most importantly--how to manage these challenges effectively.

As a leader, admitting that you are struggling can be difficult. You may have feelings of shame, or fears of being stigmatised. But when weighed against the increasing costs to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being--all of which impact one's ability to lead effectively--you simply can't afford to ignore it!
