Why Energy Is the New Currency of High Performance

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship and leadership, your energy is your edge.
As part of our High-Performance Series created for Unicorn Founders, aspiring founders, and visionary business leaders, this first episode explores the link between energy, performance, and mental wellbeing.

Released during Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, this conversation is a timely reminder that performance isn’t just about mindset — it’s about physiology too.  And this is key in emotional intelligence training for leaders.  When leaders are tired, they fall into default conditioned responses, which lack emotional intelligence. Energy is the new currency in true sustainable high performance!

The Energy–Performance Connection

In this episode, Sara Maude explores:

• Why energy isn’t a “nice-to-have” — it’s a non-negotiable for decision-making, strategy, and leadership

• How your lymphatic system acts as a built-in detox and energy booster

• The movements you can do (in just a few minutes a day) to clear toxins, reduce stagnation, and restore your vitality

This is especially relevant for founders and leaders under pressure to perform, innovate, and make critical decisions without burning out.

High Performance Starts in the Body

Mental resilience starts with physical clarity.
Sara explains how shifting from survival mode into peak energy states can transform how you lead — and how you feel while doing it.

This is a brilliant topic to cover in employee wellbeing webinars — where we help your people raise their self-awareness, unlock more energy, and create an internal reality where high performance becomes sustainable.
