Why Slowing Down Helps You Speed Up

In a world filled with uncertainty and constant pressure to achieve more, the instinct is often to accelerate—to do more, faster. But science tells a different story: relentless activity without adequate rest leads to overwhelm, burnout, and diminished performance.

Leaders and their teams often overlook a critical component of high performance: strategic rest. The key isn't just doing more but achieving more by aligning with the natural physiology of the human body and mind.

In this presentation, Dr. Greg Wells, human physiologist and bestselling author, uncovers the paradox that slowing down can accelerate success. Based on his book "Rest, Refocus, Recharge," he shares how embracing cycles of work and rest unlocks abilities otherwise blocked by constant stress and pressure.

Dr. Wells reveals the five distinct brainwave states and how leaders can intentionally harness each one to improve focus, enhance learning, foster creativity, and achieve peak performance.

In this session, you and your team will learn:

The Physiology of Rest: Why your brain isn't designed for constant "go mode" and how continuous work undermines performance.

The Five Brain States: How to identify and leverage beta, alpha, theta, delta, and gamma brainwave states for focus, learning, creativity, and peak performance.

Strategic Rest Techniques: Practical methods to incorporate rest and recovery into your daily routine to boost productivity and mental well-being.

Enhancing Innovation: How slowing down unlocks your ability to think strategically, solve problems, and innovate.

Preventing Burnout: Strategies to balance work and rest to sustain high performance without sacrificing health.
