Mention the word ‘sustainable’ and nowadays most people think up warm and fuzzy images – you know misty rainforests and sunflowers, recycle bins and bicycles. I prefer to see it as the ability to survive, thrive and continue to succeed.

So you can imagine how pleased I was to come across TIGNUM… a performance consultancy that helps organizations (and the people that work within them) achieve high energy and sustainable high performance. Click here for one of several videos.

As much as 94% of 1000 + executives TIGNUM interviewed said they have less energy at home than they have at work. Often, according to TIGNUM, this is product of not only an inadequate mindset but also poor diet and insufficient cardio vascular exercise. Add this to the additional stress many people feel because they are on call 24/7 and you need little more proof that the contemporary business landscape is a veritable pressure cooker.

Mindful of the fact that so many companies are rushing in to claim a stake on the ‘sustainability’ landscape, many would benefit from taking the time to remember the personal sustainability quarter and the importance it plays in promoting high performance in the workplace.

Now, with that said I’m off for a cup of tea and a walk around the block.
