2. The Recovery System: Your Sustainability Engine

  • The reason most change efforts fail: burnout.
    Our system uniquely integrates recovery as a core capability, ensuring that high performance is sustainable over the long term. This isn’t about work-life balance-it’s about building the resilience reserves needed for continuous adaptation.
  • For adaptable leaders: You can’t lead sustainable transformation if you’re running on empty. Recovery isn’t optional-it’s strategic.
