E108: Laura Watkins and Vanessa Dietzel on Finding Your Purpose and Avoiding Burn Out

Season 1, Ep. 108

On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation I had with Laura Watkins and Vanessa Dietzel, authors of The Performance Curve.


Laura is a neuroscientist and leadership and organisation specialist, whilst Vanessa brings unique insight from her blend of corporate experience, coaching, and teaching breathwork and yoga.


Together, they’ve created a really interesting framework.


In the next hour, you’re going to learn:


- How to break the cycle of going through boom and bust in life, and ride the performance curve


- What we can learn from listening to our emotions, and focusing on our feelings


- The power of paradoxical thinking, and how it can help us uncover the truly best outcomes in challenging situations


- A process to find what your true guiding purpose is in life


And so much more
