Ep 48 – The DNA of Leadership Performance, with Alessandra Edwards

Is leadership effectiveness impacted by our DNA? Alessandra says it is… and here’s why.

This episode, ‘The DNA of Performance’ is a fascinating insight into our genetics and how our genetics might impact our ability to lead effectively.

In this conversation, Alessandra and I are talking about:

– The differences between leaders who have the ‘CEO’ gene and the ‘Warrior’ gene
– How genes present themselves in their truest form in our 30s and 40s
– How to identify when you’re operating at your ‘genetic potential’
– And an exploration of all sorts of symptoms including insomnia, excessive thinking, anger…
– And a discussion too about sleep, diet, exercise, adrenaline and how to optimise your performance.

Alessandra says:

“There are different patterns of genetics related to personality traits and how we deal with stress.”  (Alessandra Edwards, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
