Wilkinson, Sangwan, Vora, Gurner, Madowo: Well-Being as a Competitive Advantage - EDGE 2026
11-Feb-2026
In this cross-disciplinary panel at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Milo Wilkinson, Neha Sangwan, Tiffany Vora, and Tim Gurner join moderator Larry Madowo to examine well-being as a strategic lever for leadership and performance.
The discussion moves beyond wellness trends to focus on measurable performance drivers. Topics include recovery cycles, sleep architecture, emotional processing, cognitive bias, values alignment, and the connection between physical conditioning and decision-making clarity.
Rather than positioning well-being as a lifestyle add-on, the session frames it as operational infrastructure for leaders working in high-pressure environments where clarity, resilience, and sustained energy directly influence outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
• Physiological regulation directly impacts cognitive clarity and executive performance.
• Sleep and recovery are foundational to sustainable leadership output.
• Emotional awareness provides critical signals in an information-saturated world.
