🙌 “train hard and rest well” Hannah Thomson Well done! It’s really hard to follow through with this - especially the digital detox - and I’m so glad you did, and that you can feel the difference. Epic

‘We get stronger when we rest.” For years, my dear friend and advisor Jane Elizabeth Reddin has been saying this to me. She’s drawn on sports psychology and physiology, pointing out that we need to have periods of prep, execution and rest in order to be truly at the top of our game. Up until this year, I’ve nodded politely and then motored on with my 12+ hour working days, 6+ days a week - often running myself into what Jane affectionately describes as my ‘dead dog’ mode. But this year, I took a summer holiday and deleted my emails, Slack and LinkedIn from my phone for a week. I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to switch off… but I did. It was glorious. And I am SO productive on my return! I hope you’ve all had a chance to get some rest this summer. And thanks Jane for persisting with trying to get me to take this on board. I am resolved to repeat it! #Founder #Culture #Performance
