REVIEWS

"My life has changed a lot since I live according to my values. Before the Master Habit, I used to "react" and said yes to everything. Now I know what's important, I'm "proactive" and I spend my time and energy on things that actually help me achieve my life's goals."

Johan van de Pol
CEO, Pontifexx

"I had little control over my time. I often felt like I was running on fumes, with poor habits of not eating right and not exercising enough. I wanted to regain control, and the Master Habit Accelerator helped me set my path straight. It showed me how to regain control of my life. Life is short and time is limited. I would say, give it a go. "

Adrian Chong
IT Analyst, Griffith University

"One of the biggest things I got from the Master Habit was that my life's perfect vision was right in front of me. I just couldn't see it. So, I can't recommend this program highly enough. It has been life-changing."

Bec Mitton
Director, Lux Aestiva

"I want to wake up every day feeling refreshed, focused, and having the determination to excel and do things that matter. This was an excellent opportunity to help me achieve my goals in life."

Shyam Buddingh
Business Leader, Michael Page

Overwhelmed and time-poor?

Constantly busy but not moving the needle? Are endless distractions pulling you off track?

Stressed and burnt out?

Waking up already exhausted? Feeling anxious, drained, and unable to recharge, no matter how much rest you get?

Lacking discipline and routine?

Struggling to fit in exercise, proper sleep, and nutrition? Tried building routines, but they never stick?

Most busy executives face the same 10 problems:

If you're reading this, chances are one (or more) of these problems are keeping you up at night (and keeping you from mastering your time, focus, and well-being).

And deep down, you already know it’s time to make a change — which is why you're here.

Whether you want to make more impact in less time, be calm and confident, or reclaim your health, high-performance has been on your mind for a while.

About Dr Yannick van Hierden

Performance and well-being specialist

I grew up in the Netherlands and was the lowest-performing student at my university. But when I moved to Australia, I transformed from a procrastinating couch potato with toxic habits into a high-performer who graduated among the top 1% at Griffith University.

I then completed a PhD, mastering the topics of high performance and well-being. I received nearly $500,000 dollars in scholarships and grants to conduct research and build real-world solutions.

Informed by my research, I founded Impaktr to help high achievers outsmart stress, focus on what matters, and make a greater impact. I’m known for combining modern science with ancient wisdom to create lasting change. My mission is to empower people to take control of their minds, habits, and ultimately, their lives.
