Burnout can feel like running an endless marathon where the finish line keeps shifting further away. For women, the stakes are even higher, with the demands of work, family, and societal expectations creating a perfect storm of exhaustion and overwhelm. But burnout doesn’t have to define your life or your career.
In this empowering and high-energy keynote, we’ll put burnout into perspective, focusing on the unique challenges women face in today’s workplace. Drawing on 1:1 interviews with female C-Suite executives and the latest research, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how burnout is intertwined with performance culture and gender expectations. We’ll also explore practical strategies to break the stress cycle, informed by the work of Drs. Amelia and Emily Nagoski and the Reinvention Rest Stop: Living Beyond Burnout initiative.
What You’ll Gain:
A clear identification of how and why burnout occurs, with a focus on women’s experiences
Three essential filters to help you decide when to say yes, no, or not now, tailored to the unique pressures women face
Immediate actions you can take to interrupt the stress cycle and prioritize your well-being
