Maximizing Sustainable High Performance Through Wellbeing at Work
Magnus Liungman’s Path from Burnout to Building Biometric Coaching for High Performers
In this episode of Aumla’s Winning With Wellbeing podcast, host Miriam Sundholm speaks with Magnus Liungman, Founder and CEO of PeakPath, about redefining what it means to perform at a high level—without compromising wellbeing.
Drawing on his own experience of burnout while founding Doctrine, Magnus shares what inspired him to create PeakPath—a platform that combines biometric data with personal coaching to help individuals achieve and sustain peak performance in a healthier, more balanced way.
How Biometric Coaching Drives Lasting Change
PeakPath blends data from wearable devices with personalized human coaching to support behavior change. This hybrid model reflects a shift in how organizations approach performance and wellbeing—not as separate priorities, but as interconnected.
"Only 7–15% of people are operating in their peak-performance zone. If you're tired, stressed, or low on motivation—how can you absorb learning and turn it into change?"
— Magnus Liungman
By creating accountability and encouraging reflection, coaching makes it more likely that people will translate insights into action—something technology alone often struggles to achieve.
Why Wellbeing is a Business Priority
Magnus emphasizes that wellbeing is not an extra—it’s a core part of building a resilient, high-performing organization. When employees feel supported, they are more likely to stay motivated, focused, and engaged over time.
PeakPath’s data shows a clear link between wellbeing and business outcomes, including reduced burnout risk and improved energy levels. But results depend on how deeply these practices are integrated into everyday culture—from sleep and recovery habits to leadership expectations around boundaries and balance.
The Role of Leadership in Sustainable Performance
Leaders have a critical role in shaping culture. Magnus notes that when leaders actively model healthy behaviors—taking breaks, setting boundaries, prioritizing focus—it sends a powerful signal to the rest of the organization.
Creating a sustainable work culture is not just about individual habits; it's about aligning values, expectations, and systems to support wellbeing as an ongoing practice.
Reframing the Conversation on Wellbeing at Work
Wellbeing is often framed as a separate initiative led by HR. Magnus encourages leaders to shift that mindset and instead see wellbeing as foundational to how teams learn, grow, and perform over time.
When organizations prioritize wellbeing not as a one-off program, but as part of how work gets done, it leads to more resilient teams and more sustainable success.
What’s Next: AI, Wellbeing Tech & the Future of Work
As mental health and workplace engagement rise on the executive agenda, the future lies in integrating wellbeing with business strategy. Magnus predicts an increase in personalized health data, smarter coaching tools, and more integrated wellbeing platforms—especially for hybrid teams.
