Sustainability as a Performance Strategy
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
You can be aligned. You can be executing. And still be quietly running out of gas. In this solo episode of Connecting with Purpose, Mark explores one of the most overlooked drivers of sustainable performance: capacity. Most leaders focus on strategy and execution. Few pay attention to the nervous system behind their leadership. Capacity isn't just about time. It's about energy. When capacity erodes, leaders narrow their perspective, default to hero mode, become the bottleneck, and slowly drift toward burnout — even while appearing successful on the outside. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ Why sustainability is a performance strategy — not a wellness perk ✔ How exceeding capacity leads to anxiety, overwhelm, and "playing out of position" ✔ The connection between energy, perspective, and decision quality ✔ Four practical strategies you can apply immediately to increase your capacity Mark breaks down four actionable frameworks: 1️⃣ Boundaries – Protect deep work, recovery, and strategic thinking 2️⃣ Align to Your Position – Play to strengths and stop operating out of alignment 3️⃣ Fuel the Tank – Optimize sleep, movement, and recovery fundamentals 4️⃣ Expand the Tank – Clarify purpose and zoom in/out to increase resilience If you're a founder, executive, or high-performing leader who wants to avoid the Performance Precipice and build long-term impact, this episode will give you both clarity and tools.
