How to Transform Mental Wellbeing with Health Data - Lindsey Frances

Super Powered: Leadership, Strategy, Decision Making & Peak Performance - Stories & Strategies from World-Class Performers for Executive Success

Ever wondered why working harder isn't making you happier?

Lindsey Frances transformed from a burned-out business consultant to becoming the architect of the Conscious Change Method, helping high-performers find joy in today rather than chasing tomorrow. Her counter-intuitive approach uses wearable health data to reveal what your body already knows: grinding isn't the path to success.

As an ISF internationally accredited sophrologist, member of the British Psychological Society, and founder of Emotional Wealth Creation, Lindsey works with executives and entrepreneurs who've hit their limits. Her methods have helped law firm partners rediscover job satisfaction and C-suite leaders make critical mindset shifts—proving that data can wake people up to what's really happening inside.

This isn't just about wellness—it's about becoming what Lindsey calls an "Emotional Billionaire." After experiencing professional burnout and depression herself, she discovered that true success comes not from consuming more but from accessing the rich resource of emotions that allows you to fully experience life's moments.

Key Talking Points:

• Why pausing is the hardest yet most crucial step for high-achievers—"We're conditioned to think the faster we go and the more we do, the happier we'll be, but the reverse is true"
• How heart rate variability (HRV) data creates accountability that bypasses ego resistance—95% of clients initially claim "the data must be wrong"
• The counterintuitive discovery that intuition, not intelligence, produces your best work—but only when you're relaxed and not overworking
• Why finding joy in today's cup of tea is more powerful than waiting for tomorrow's achievements—"All of your joy and happiness is in today"
