The TIGNUM ThoughtCast
PERSONAL READINESS is the foundation of every executive's performance.
In a world obsessed with speed, hustle, and constant grind, today’s high performers are hitting a wall. CEOs who don’t sleep, overworking seen as a badge of honor, and teams on the verge of burnout. Your talent is struggling to find solutions amidst the chaos and noise.
The TIGNUM Thoughtcast explores the challenges facing today’s leaders and teams and the mindsets, behaviors, and strategies that lead to Sustainable Human Performance.
Each episode explores the science and application of personal readiness, with experts and guests discussing what it takes to show up sharper, lead with impact, and create environments where people thrive every day.
At TIGNUM, we build a strong performance foundation by meeting every client where they are, by applying the latest human performance science to each client's latest challenge, and by helping our clients see that it's not about doing more, it’s about applying the right strategies at the right time.
