#26: Healthspan as a strategic advantage, with Corinne Briaud

Aging powerfully is more than a personal choice—it’s a leadership strategy rooted in healthspan.

In this insightful podcast episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen sits down with corporate veteran and health-span advocate Corinne Briaud to talk about how women in senior roles can redefine resilience, prevent burnout, and lead longer, healthier careers. From sleep to systemic change, this conversation challenges the outdated hustle narrative and introduces healthspan—the number of years you live in good health—as a cornerstone of sustainable leadership.

Whether you're already feeling the toll of burnout or looking to prevent it, this episode gives you the tools—and the permission—to start prioritizing your well-being without guilt.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Health is your leadership asset. Your energy, clarity, and decision-making all depend on it—and neglecting it can quietly undermine your influence and credibility.
2. Redefine resilience. True resilience isn't pushing through—it's recovery. Without rest and repair, even high performance becomes self-sabotage.
3. Sleep is non-negotiable. Chronic sleep deprivation affects the brain like alcohol. You wouldn’t lead drunk—so why lead exhausted?
4. Start small, but start now. Whether it’s a 30-minute walk or a full workout, consistency builds capability and confidence over time.
5. Companies need to catch up. Supporting women’s healthspan is not just a moral imperative—it drives retention, engagement, and productivity.

"Your chronological age doesn't matter. What matters is your biological age. And the way you're going to take care of your biological age is to think about health span." — Corinne Briaud

When women leaders thrive, companies thrive. This episode is your invitation to shift from surviving to thriving—and to make your healthspan part of your leadership strategy.
