In this Greatest Hits episode of Beyond High Performance, Jason Jaggard revisits his conversation with author, leadership coach, and entrepreneur Jo Saxton. Originally recorded for the Global Leadership Network, this powerful dialogue explores what true wellness means — beyond yoga mats and scented candles — and why it’s a vital part of sustainable leadership.

Jo opens up about her own experiences with burnout and recovery, offering hard-won lessons on slowing down, setting boundaries, and embracing the courage to rest. Together, she and Jason unpack how personal narratives, cultural expectations, and hidden wounds shape the way we lead — and what it takes to lead from wholeness instead of exhaustion.

🔑 You’ll discover:

• Why wellness isn’t a luxury — it’s leadership fuel
• How your personal story drives your approach to work, rest, and resilience
• The subtle warning signs of burnout and what your body is trying to say
• Why authenticity and self-awareness amplify your leadership impact
• Practical tools to help you and your team build rhythms of renewal

Jo leaves us with a profound reminder: You have one body and one life, and your leadership is living in that body. Look after it.
