Short excerpt from a YouTube video in which the speaker (Mark MacLeod) explains that prioritizing personal health—exercise and good eating—reduces stress, improves mood, and enables better leadership by allowing greater presence and availability to a team.

I'm present with my family, and also, like, if I'm working out and if I'm eating well, I'm a happier person and I can manage more stress. And so then I can manage more stress at work. And I think that makes me a better leader. But it took me a long time to figure out that, like, actually putting yourself first in a lot of ways is how you can show up and be more present and available to your team.
