This week, Michelle Flynn joins James Whitelock to unpack the most overlooked performance lever in recruitment: recovery.
After 20 years in recruitment and scaling tech businesses to exit, Michelle experienced a health scare that forced her to rethink everything about high performance. She now works with recruitment leaders and teams to help them perform at a high level without tipping into burnout.
In this episode, we explore why burnout has become normalised in recruitment, why “work-life balance” is the wrong conversation, and how sleep, stress management and breathwork can dramatically improve performance. If recruitment is a performance industry, then recovery is not optional.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why burnout is not a badge of honour
• Why “work-life balance” does not really exist
• The hidden signs you are heading towards burnout
• Why recruiters struggle to switch off
• How high performers recover properly
• The science of sleep and routine
• Breathwork, stress control and performance
• Why small changes beat dramatic life overhauls
• Why recruiters are essentially office athletes
This episode will make you rethink how you work, how you recover and how you lead.
