Leading Well: Prioritizing Health to Sustain Impact with Dr. Aaron Goodson

July 09, 2025

As leaders, it’s easy to prioritize performance, results, and responsibility—often at the expense of our own well-being. But true high performance is built on a foundation of health.

In this special Men’s Health Month episode of Winning Through Culture, Tim Flanagan sits down with Dr. Aaron Goodson, Director of Mental Health and Performance at Duke University Athletics. Together, they explore how elite athletes manage stress, recovery, and resilience—and what leaders in business can learn from those same strategies.

From journaling and self-awareness to intentionally creating recovery space for teams, Dr. Goodson shares powerful insights that bridge the gap between mental health and sustained leadership impact.

Key Topics:

  • Why recovery must be intentional, not optional
  • How to spot early signs of burnout
  • Why stress isn’t the enemy—and how to work with it
  • The difference between evaluating and judging yourself
  • What it looks like to lead by example, even imperfectly
