Beyond Burnout in the Age of Overload

We’re living in an era of permacrisis: nonstop transformation, relentless expectations, and workplaces running on empty.

The most urgent leadership challenge today isn’t managing change—it’s leading people who are already burned out by it.

The cycle of deliver–adapt–rinse–repeat without pause is often mistaken for resilience—and even gets rewarded. But turning burnout into a badge of honor drains trust, psychological safety, and innovation—the very traits teams need to perform at their best.

I bring 30 years of experience from inside high-pressure leadership rooms. In this keynote, I share a system-level approach to rebuilding capacity, momentum, and clarity—without adding to the overwhelm.

Built to Thrive™ gives leaders and teams a practical system to recover energy, reconnect to purpose, and move forward with confidence. It’s not a silver bullet—it’s a way of working that actually works.
