BANISHING BURNOUT

Employee stress and burnout are two of the top issues organizations are facing today. These are why good people quit, insurance rates are skyrocketing, and cultures turn toxic... employees are overworked, overwhelmed and overstressed. They’re OVER IT. So, let’s help your leaders and teams go from feeling Over It to ON IT - on fire, on purpose and on their game! In this keynote, you’ll learn how to energize and optimize your body and brain for sustained high performance, regardless of the stresses you’re facing. You’ll gain more stamina, energy, sustainability, and balance. By using a chemical approach, success no longer has to come at cost to your health or relationships. And your leaders and managers will also learn to help their people navigate burnout, exhaustion, and stress. You’ll embrace a transformative action plan that works in the busiest of schedules!

Ignite Your Passion & Persistence

Recent events have caused your leaders and employees to question their lives and careers. You’ve lost many valuable people and the ones who haven’t left are not as engaged as they used to be. They’re contemplating what they want – and need – from their work and are ready to consider other opportunities. A clear sense of purpose is essential at all levels - from leaders using it as a guidepost for making critical business decisions, to managers having conversations with teams about how their work is essential to the purpose of the organization, to employees understanding how they spend their days contributes to their sense of purpose. To be fully engaged, employees need to find meaning in their daily work. Unfortunately, fewer than half of people say they know their purpose or find meaning and fulfillment in their work. As a result, they’re easily overwhelmed when faced with change, are less resilient to stress, lose confidence and direction, and are less engaged. Research shows that people who are purposeful in their jobs perform better, are more likely to avoid burnout, and are more committed. Not only will your people experience the game-changing discovery of their current purpose, the rich group dialogue that takes place will form a deep sense of connection, understanding and unity. 

After this keynote, you and your team will...
  • Know why purpose is essential to success professionally and personally.
  • How a clear sense of purpose improves resilience, performance, engagement, energy, connection, and sense of belonging, practices for gaining clarity on their purpose.
  • How to fully articulate their purpose and realize how it connects to the work they do
  • How to keep their purpose front of mind as they make decisions, engage with clients and co-workers, and deal with stressful situations, and ways to take daily action that are aligned with their purpose, as well as the purpose of your organization.

ENERGY FOR RESILIENCE

When the stress in our lives increases, so does the demand for energy in order to deal with those stresses. And the last few years have been stressful for everyone. Leaders, managers, and employees have been working harder than ever before and are stretched thin, burned out, and exhausted. The cumulative data of our Resiliency Assessment shows that people struggle with

PHYSICAL RESILIENCE the most. Physical energy is the foundation of everything. Without energy, nothing happens. And the energy required for your people to succeed and thrive is off the charts.

ENERGY FOR RESILIENCE will help your people increase, fortify, and recover their physical energy and resilience.

INCREASE ENERGY: High levels of productivity and effectiveness require high levels of energy. And food is energy! Unfortunately, most people are short on time, confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated when it comes to nutrition. They’re eating in ways that increase stress and decrease energy. We HAVE to eat multiple times a day and poor choices dramatically hinder our energy, resiliency, performance, and engagement. This module gives your people the knowledge, confidence, and tools to consistently take in high-quality, energy-rich fuel for their bodies and brains—and to do it in a way that is easy, quick, and flexible. This is a very different approach to eating than most people are used to, and they’re pleasantly surprised to learn just how doable it is.

FORTIFY ENERGY: We’re going well beyond the Micro Bursts! Exercise isn’t just a way to change our chemistry after stress—it’s a powerful tool for long-term resilience, a deeper well of energy, confidence, and the ability to overcome challenges. Participants will be motivated by what a pivotal role movement and exercise play in every aspect of their lives, and how to incorporate them into a busy schedule.

RECOVER ENERGY: Sleep is the #1 tool our brains and bodies have to recover and renew energy. However, a high percentage of Resiliency Survey respondents report serious struggles with the quantity and quality of sleep they get. Without adequate sleep, our energy and ability to successfully overcome challenges and maintain a positive mindset suffer.

THE CHEMISTRY OF CONFIDENCE & RESILIENCE FOR FEMALE LEADERS

Forty two percent of professional women report they’re burned out and 1 in 3 say they’ve considered downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely. They’re overworked, overwhelmed, overstressed and OVER IT. The “She-Cession” is here and it’s hurting your business. Research proves that companies with more female executives are more likely to outperform companies that don’t. By creating an environment where women feel valued and empowered, you’re positioning your company for greater financial returns, better innovation, and stronger employee engagement. When women thrive in the workplace, so does your business.

This highly interactive and engaging program addresses the unique challenges and needs of your female leaders and gives them the tools to develop daily practices that embolden confidence and competence in the workplace and beyond. Rich with discussion and inner reflection, this program also utilizes the wisdom and experiences of the entire group. Leaders walk away with personalized action plans to transform from feeling OVER IT to ON IT – on fire, on purpose and on their game.

In today's competitive landscape, retaining top female talent isn't just a matter of equality—it’s a key business strategy that fuels growth, resilience, and sustainability. The future of your business depends on how well you support, retain, and attract the women who help shape it.

Objectives:
  • To foster a culture of high-performing women who are supported, clear, and committed to their paths of performance and advancement.
  • To give women the tools to step – and stay – into leadership roles that grow their abilities to lead, take action, drive for results, and improve the bottom line.
  • To help women leaders identify their values and purpose in order to prioritize effectively and guide their decision-making process.
  • To eliminate imposter syndrome and perfectionism, leading to higher levels of self-confidence.
