The Recovery Edge

The Science Behind Sustainable High Performance

A keynote that shows leaders why recovery belongs in the performance conversation and what happens when people are expected to continually deliver without restoring the capacity required to do it.

Every high-performance culture has a leak.

It does not show up on the P&L.

Reading the Symptoms

It shows up everywhere the P&L doesn’t.

It does not get flagged in the quarterly review. It shows up in the decisions that get made on empty, the talent that quietly walks out the door, and the leaders who are physically present but nowhere close to their best.

The Recovery Edge connects the science of recovery to what leaders see every day: decision-making, creativity, focus, leadership presence, and the ability to perform when the pressure is high.

Khaliah connects wellness to the performance conversation, showing leaders why protecting capacity matters to the people doing the work and the results they’re responsible for delivering.

$411 Billion

The estimated annual economic loss in the U.S. associated with insufficient sleep.

RAND’s 2016 analysis estimated U.S. economic losses from insufficient sleep at $280 billion to $411 billion annually. It also estimated roughly 1.23 million U.S. working days lost each year in association with insufficient sleep.Source: RAND Europe, Why Sleep Matters: The Economic Costs of Insufficient Sleep (2016)

That is not a wellness statistic; that is a business emergency dressed in business casual.
