In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth interviews Warwick John Fahy, business psychologist and behavioral change expert, on three keys to making mid-career transitions: Energy, Ego and Expression. Warwick shares the best practices of high performance athletes, the latest in sleep and habit formation research, and practical tips that have worked for him and the executives he coaches.
