Bite Size: Still “On” After Work? Here's How to Switch Off in 30 Seconds Andrew May

Most leaders know how to ramp up for performance. Far fewer know how to switch off. Operating at full speed all day without deliberately down-regulating keeps the brain and body in a prolonged stress state - impairing decision-making, recovery and next-day performance. Andrew May (Mental Skills Coach to the Wallabies) explains why the ability to shift gears is a critical leadership skill, particularly for those operating under constant cognitive load. He also shares a simple breathing technique that can lower your heart rate and begin calming the nervous system in under 30 seconds. Want to hear to the full episode? Head to in our podcast library.
