• How to design your workplace with simple hacks to improve the wellbeing and performance of your team so that you can attract and retain the best talent.

Biography
When Sarah Robb O’Hagan began leading the turnaround of the $5 billion global Gatorade business amid a global recession, she was also preparing to give birth to her third child. Largely skipping her maternity leave, the combination of extreme hours and late-night childcare led her to experience an extreme and painful “burnout” that changed her perspective and her approach to work life forever.
Years later — taking on the role of CEO at EXOS, the human performance company, at the start of the global pandemic — she decided that a successful business turnaround while burning people out was not an option. As a result, she partnered with the performance science experts on her team, as well as some of the best organizational psychologists in the world, to design and implement a more sustainable and enjoyable way of getting business results while working under immense pressure.
