Stress Is Your Greatest Performance Tool with Matt Bennett

Master HRV, Vagus Tone & Beat Burnout

We’ve been taught that stress is the enemy! And I have been trying for years to break that dogma. Because stress is actually one of your greatest performance tools. And there is one data point that encapsulates stress – HRV.  In this episode, we explore why HRV may be one of the most powerful biomarkers for improving not only personal health and resilience, stopping the burnout epidemic and improving employee wellbeing, engagement, and performance in the modern workplace.

Matt Bennett is a keynote speaker, author, and trainer who brings trauma-informed care, neurobiology, behaviour change, and resilience to life for professional audiences. Through compelling stories, practical frameworks, and research-based insight, he helps people see their work — and the people they serve — through a more hopeful, effective, and transformational lens. His presentations are energetic, thought-provoking, and actionable, designed to inspire audiences while giving them tools they can use immediately.
