𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Great leadership isn’t about how much you can endure, it’s about how well you can recover.

Here’s how to protect your energy and lead with presence, not pressure:

1️⃣ 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Simple resets lower cortisol and regulate your system. Try running your wrists under cold water, taking 60 seconds to notice your senses, or stepping outside barefoot for a brief reset.

2️⃣ 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Leadership doesn’t mean constant availability. Create sacred no-device times — dinner, bedtime, or partner time. Protect these moments like your calendar depends on them (because it does).

3️⃣ 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: Swap short-term escapes for long-term wellbeing. Prioritise movement, disciplined sleep, and true connection when you get home. Even 30 device-free minutes can reset your nervous system.

4️⃣ 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Family time isn’t optional — it’s legacy work. A dinner with your children or conversation with your partner carries more impact than another late-night email.

Rest is not indulgence; it’s an investment. Without it, clarity fades, creativity shrinks, and leadership impact dissolves.

Executives who learn to restore and renew — not just grind — build the kind of strength that lasts decades, not quarters. Because leadership that lasts isn’t powered by endless drive. It’s powered by deliberate recovery.

𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁

Executives are often the last to admit they’re burning out — partly because exhaustion feels like a badge of honour. But the earliest signs are always there if you choose to look.

The first whispers? They’re physical. Poor sleep, weight gain, inflammation, or that creeping reliance on caffeine or alcohol to “get through.” Then it moves deeper: irritability, indecision, or mental absenteeism at home — being there in body but not in mind.

Finally, burnout starts to erode identity itself. You lose your spark. Your hobbies fade. You can’t remember the last time you felt excited — not just productive.

This is your body’s way of telling you it’s out of balance. Chronic stress without recovery is a recipe for collapse, not success.

Relationships also act as early warning systems. Distance from your partner. Snapping at your kids. No time for friends. These aren’t personality flaws — they’re burnout symptoms.

Catch the whispers early, and you can change course. Ignore them, and burnout moves from slow leak to full rupture.

Next post → what sustainable leadership really looks like — and how to restore your energy before it’s too late.

𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗥 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 — 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀.

In 2023, around 25% of New Zealand workers were at high risk of burnout. By mid-2024, that number had more than doubled to 57% (AUT research, Haag 2024). For many executives, the signs are subtle: sleepless nights, reactive decision-making, dwindling motivation.

But behind every missed deal or tense staff meeting is something deeper — a leader running out of energy. Burnout erodes the very traits that define great leadership: focus, creativity, and connection.

You can’t inspire others when your tank is empty. You can’t make bold decisions when your brain is fogged with exhaustion. And you can’t show up at home when you’re mentally absent — even if you’re sitting right there.

Burnout begins quietly, but its consequences are loud. The challenge for modern executives is not just managing their time — it’s managing their energy.

Because sustainable leadership doesn’t come from grinding harder. It comes from learning how to recover well.

I've written a full article on burnout, its effects and toll, and what we can do about it for the National Business Review (NBR) - check it out there or DM me and I can send you a direct link to it.

'𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲' 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀– 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

A client told me recently he chose a 0% beer on Friday night instead of the regular kind. When I asked why, his answer hit home for me as a wellness coach:

“My kids deserve better.”

Instead of saying I deserve a drink after a hard week, he decided his family deserved a dad who showed up Saturday morning clear-headed, energetic, and present.

That’s wellness. Not restriction—just asking: what’s the impact of this choice?
When you start asking that, you become your own best teacher—and real, lasting change follows.

If this resonates, DM me. Let’s get you showing up better too.

𝗔 𝗖𝗘𝗢’𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘁 - 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

A CEO once told me their biggest regret: “There are only so many school cross-countries. Only so many events with your kids.”

That resonated completely with me, because this is what I teach. Wellness isn’t just exercise, sleep, and nutrition. Yes, those matter. But real wellness is also connection.

Connection with the people you love most. The very ones you’re working so hard for.

As business leaders, it’s easy to forget that. But those moments—you can’t get them back.

If this hit you too, follow along. Because wellness is about more than health—it’s about who you share it with.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻...

Here's the first for our Jessie dog series! I want to share real life, real work stories from clients that I've had recently or over the years. If they resonate with you please get in touch!

I had a client message me:
“Pete, I wore chinos I haven’t fit into for years… spoke on stage… and my confidence went through the roof.” 🚀

When you feel good in your own skin, you show up differently. You speak louder. You stand taller. You own the room.

Fitness isn’t just about the scales.
It’s about moments like this.
And we need more of them.

👏 Who’s ready for their own “chinos moment”?
P.s. no dogs were harmed in the making of this video!

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁

Most people don’t fail because they don’t have the “right” plan. They fail because they’re chasing perfect and missing consistent. One skipped workout turns into a week off. One indulgent meal leads to guilt and quitting.

But real change? It happens in the grey area. When you show up, even when it's not ideal.

Done is better than perfect. Walks count. Short sessions matter. Eating mindfully most of the time wins over extremes.

Consistency compounds. You just have to keep showing up.
Perfection is fragile. Consistency is powerful.

Message me if this sounds like you: when a small misstep happens then the goals completely derail, and let's get back to consistency over perfection.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝘆 - 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁!

Everyone has one, that deep reason that drives them to show up, push harder, and keep going when it’s easier to quit. When we know a client’s why, everything changes. They’ll do almost anything to reach their goal, because the goal now means something personal.

Our job? Help them uncover it.

It’s not about the program, the reps, or the meal plan. It’s about finding the spark that makes those things matter.

You and I, we’ve got to get our heads together and help more people find their why. That’s the real game-changer.
