Episode notes

In this episode of Stay at the Top, I’m joined by Dan Haesler, a performance and leadership coach who works with elite athletes, corporate leaders, and educators to bridge the gap between wellbeing and high performance. We explore how self-awareness, emotional regulation, and consistency are the keys to thriving in high-pressure environments.

Dan shares insights from his work with the 4x premiership winning Penrith Panthers, lessons on redefining leadership, and practical strategies anyone can use to elevate their performance.

In this episode, Dan shares:

-Why wellbeing and high performance are inseparable.

-How emotional intelligence is a cornerstone of effective leadership.

-Lessons from the Penrith Panthers on consistency and culture.

-How to redefine success and bridge the performance gap.

-His Four M’s framework

-Practical steps for leaders to foster self-awareness and build trust.

-How aligning with your values helps combat burnout and resentment.

-Dan’s personal habits for staying at the top.

Key Quotes:

“Well-being and high performance are two sides of the same coin, but in a lot of places they’re seen as completely different currencies.”

“You can’t lead others if you’re not able to lead yourself. How you show up, how you regulate your own life, is proportional to your ability to do that for everyone else.”
