Kassi Slade: The Balancing Act: Extreme Action, Rest, and the Art of Switching Off

In this week’s episode, I speak with Kassi Slade, Founder and Director at The Positive Sleep Coach.

Did you know that one night of bad sleep can increase your chances of cardiovascular disease by 300%? Kassi shares the importance of getting the right amount of rest because even though our society doesn’t prioritise it, extreme action in work calls for extreme rest if you want to continue performing at your best.

We also discuss the difficulty of losing your sense of self and how you can go about
reconnecting with your own identity so that you can continue to lead your team by example and inspire them to succeed.

Key takeaways include:

● Why you must create space for yourself and learn how to switch off
● How sports teams hiring sleep coaches inspired Kassi’s new career
● What to do if you wake up during the night overthinking or anxiety
● The power of humanising leadership with care, connection, and curiosity
● The power of intergenerational leadership

Kassi Slade of The Positive Sleep Coach is a seasoned professional with a rich background in the creative sports and entertainment marketing industry, managing global sponsorship portfolios and integrated marketing campaigns for leading brands across Europe and Asia.
