Perform Without Burning Out: Unlock the Corporate Athlete Within

Join Wellbeing Lead Academy founder and director Emily Pearson for this insightful session with guest speaker Richard Turner.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become an elite athlete? or how elite athletes cope with failure, setbacks and injuries? or how some athletes manage to perform at the highest level for years and years?

Every week, I hear the same thing from the wellbeing leads and HR professionals I work with:"I'm exhausted.""There’s no time to breathe, let alone think strategically.""I’m supposed to be the one setting an example, but I’m running on empty."

Sound familiar?

Whether wellbeing is part of your day job or it is your day job, the demands can be relentless, from writing strategies and delivering training, to supporting colleagues in crisis and spinning campaign plates. And yet, the one person who often gets left behind… is you.

If the people responsible for role modelling good wellbeing are struggling to come up for air, how can we expect the rest of the organisation to do any better?

That’s why I want to invite you to something different.

I’ll be joined by Richard Turner, a high-performance executive coach, leadership trainer, and , a high-performance executive coach, leadership trainer, and all-round brilliant human with a background in elite sport and a big heart for workplace wellbeing.

Together, we’re hosting a session that goes beyond the usual self-care advice and dives into the science and mindset of sustainable high performance.

We’ll explore how the habits and disciplines used by athletes to maintain energy, focus and resilience can help you stay in your zone, protect your health, and grow your leadership capacity, without burning out.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to manage your energy (not just your time) like an athlete
• How to stay sharp, focused and present even in high-demand roles
• How to build resilience by integrating recovery— not waiting until you break
• How to develop your skills and leadership without overloading yourself
• How to support your own wellbeing so you can truly support others

Why Come Along?

✅ You’ll leave with practical tools to apply straight away

✅ You’ll gain strategic insight to strengthen your role and impact

✅ You’ll be reminded that you matter too

This session is for you if you’re:

• A wellbeing lead, HR professional, or people manager juggling multiple responsibilities
• Someone who gives a lot to others and needs to refuel without guilt
• Committed to performing well and staying well, personally and professionally
