After 18 years as CFO of a large international company, my Dad is now retired, enjoying mountain biking, lazy coffees, and indulging in his favourite hobbies. On the outside, his life seems perfect, but the stress from his high-pressure career is still there. It didn’t disappear on the day he stopped work. In his words, despite his best efforts, the intensity of those years affects his sleep and resilience.
In candid conversations, he’s shared valuable insights on managing stress with me – lessons he wishes he had known earlier. His advice to his younger self? Understand that work-life balance goes beyond time management and develop stress management techniques early in your career. Plus, get a mentor.
This interview dives deep into his experiences and the changes he would make if he could turn back the clock.
