Many of us understand on an intellectual level that taking breaks and allowing ourselves to rest is necessary for sustainability in our work and lives. But we still feel guilty, or even afraid, about taking them and keep on hustling. It’s a struggle my guest today knows well.

In this conversation, John Briggs, entrepreneur and author of Take Breaks, Work Better, shares his personal story of the costs of hustle culture, the science behind his 3.3 Rule for work-life harmony, and how getting his team to take breaks transformed his company.

What is Sustainable Ambition?

How do you navigate the inevitable conflicts between work and life? Not just the daily schedules or mounting responsibilities, but the tensions between your ambition for your career and your ambition for life?

How do you decide what to prioritize and what to let go of? How do you decide when to speed ahead and when to ease up?

These aren’t questions of work-life balance or self-care. They’re questions we can answer when we get serious about intentionally designing a life with work that works for you.

Join Kathy Oneto, executive and life-work coach and founder of Sustainable Ambition, for conversations with experts, authors, and friends to explore sticky questions around navigating ambitious careers while integrating life with work, practicing sustainable work practices, and building resilience.

Most people assume that ambition and sustainability are mutually exclusive. Not so! Keep listening, and Kathy will make you a believer in Sustainable Ambition, too.
