Leaders need to recognize burnout before it derails performance. "Your mind needs training just like your body," says Jenny, reinforcing that mental resilience isn't about working harder but knowing when to step back, recover, and return stronger. When companies normalize mental well-being, they build healthier teams, better decision-makers, and more sustainable success. 🎧 Listen to Jenny's insights on mental strength and leadership in the latest episode.
