Building Sustainability When Burnout Feels Inevitable: Burnout, boundaries, and balance have become recently buzzy topics -- and although many recognize they could do better in these areas, many struggle to make impactful changes when stress and burnout feel constant in their lives. This keynote, beloved by organizational audiences worldwide, will cut through the usual wellness buzz to distill tangible body-brain science behind burnout, redefine boundaries and balance to support demanding lifestyles, and provide tips to navigate burnout and build boundaries that feel tangible and achievable. Attendees will leave this session with deeper understanding, normalized permission, and actionable empowerment for tackling burnout and achieving more sustainability in their lives.
Reclaiming Mental Wellness at Work: Does it sometimes feel like mental wellness as busy professional is impossible because of the stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue that come from constant demands of clients, market factors, and unexpected challenges? Well, we’re here to recognize how understandable that is, but also to help you make a change by reclaiming your mental wellness in your work. In this keynote, delivered with acclaim nationwide, we dive into what makes work so challenging from a mental wellness perspective: understanding the science and psychology of those experiences, and then translating that knowledge into how we can better sustain ourselves through practical self-care, boundary design, and frameworks to navigate heated emotional situations. Our goal is for you to walk away from this keynote with clearer insights into what makes certain work experiences difficult and how to tackle those in a way that is authentic and empowering to you, your work, and your wellness.
Humanity at Work: Created for teams and leaders, this session dives into the soft skills required for the human situations we face at work every day -- from working through our own day-to-day emotions and triggers, to working through disagreements and difficult conversations with others at work. We will cover core skills in mindful emotional intelligence, practicing empathy more effectively, and navigating difficult conversations and disagreements – providing situational examples and tactical, immediately actionable tools to empower humanity at work.
