Twenty years as a senior HR leader. An athlete who competes. The same pattern appears in both worlds: the ones who win are the ones who recover best.
"Most people know they're not performing at their best. They just don't know which part of their life is causing it."
The Drift Index is a science-backed performance diagnostic I developed after two decades of watching talented people consistently underperform — not through lack of effort, but because the conditions around them were working against them.
It measures five performance levers and produces a personal performance map: exactly where you are losing capacity and precisely what to address first. Not generic advice. Your specific picture.
For organisations, it turns a wellbeing conversation into a performance conversation. That lands very differently with leadership teams.

Your capacity to lead, decide and respond under pressure
