Managing Stress, Cortisol, and Energy for Sustainable Success
Leadership today is as much about managing your energy as it is about managing your people. As the pace and complexity of business accelerate, the ability to sustain clear thinking, sound judgment, and resilience under pressure has become a competitive advantage. Yet chronic stress silently undermines decision-making, energy, emotional regulation, sleep, and overall health, limiting both personal well-being and professional effectiveness.
Join Sarah Wragge, Founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness, and Annie Dixon, Director of Programs, for a conversation that explores the science behind the stress response, revealing how cortisol and blood sugar influence cognitive function, resilience, metabolism, and recovery. Together, they will share how chronic stress can keep the body trapped in survival mode—and how targeted nutrition and lifestyle interventions can restore balance, improve performance, and consequently strengthen leadership capacity.
This session delivers practical, science-backed strategies that can be implemented immediately to increase resilience, sharpen focus, sustain energy, and prevent burnout while continuing to lead at the highest level.
