How identity frames our understanding of high performance and mental health

High performance is often mistaken for dominance, aggression and control. True high performers, however, blend ambition with empathy to support mental health and prevent burnout. This panel will share practical strategies for excelling in your career while upholding your values and maintaining a healthy work-life balance - whilst taking into account relevant cultural and identity-based nuances.
