Keynote: Dismantling Burnout: Helping Leaders and Teams Beat Burnout Together 

Burnout isn't just an individual issue - it's a systemic challenge that affects both leadership and teams. This talk breaks down the shared responsibilities of leaders and employees in creating a work culture that fights burnout from all angles. Leaders will learn how to foster environments that prioritize well-being without overstepping into the role of a therapist, while teams will discover their own role in managing stress, boundaries, and workload. By addressing burnout collectively, we’ll explore actionable strategies for reducing burnout culture and building workplaces where everyone thrives. This is about mutual empowerment—leaders and teams, working together.

Keynote: Unhide & Thrive, Unlock Your Potential and the Power of Connection

Have you ever felt the need to hide a part of yourself just to fit in? You're not alone. Most of us, at some point, have hidden a vulnerability, a challenge, an aspiration, or even a unique strength. It’s exhausting and lonely. But hiding doesn’t just hold us back personally—it impacts how we connect with others and can limit the very relationships and collaboration that make our work meaningful. 

In this keynote, I’ll share how embracing authenticity, and vulnerability can unlock the full potential of you and your teams, amplify connection, and foster thriving, people-centered workplaces. 

You will learn my 4-Step Framework to Unhide, an actionable roadmap to: 1) Acknowledge what you are hiding—and how hiding, in both leadership and teams, limits trust and collaboration. 2) Invite In someone who can help change the narrative and challenge you to embrace your full self. 3) Build Community to support authenticity and shared vulnerability in your teams.  4) Share Your Story in ways that inspire trust, connection, and belonging.
