Speaking Engagements
You're watching some of your best people burn out, and the usual solutions aren't working. The statistics are staggering: McKinsey found that 43% of women in leadership report experiencing burnout.
As an ICF-credentialed executive coach and former marketing EVP, I've dedicated my professional life to reversing that trend. I help organizations keep their best people by giving them what they actually need: tools to reverse the symptoms of burnout and lead from true power, not over-functioning that destroys their health.
Through powerful storytelling and immediately actionable tools, I show people how to set boundaries that work, lead from clarity instead of depletion, and sustain performance without sacrificing themselves.
My Story
I spent 23 years climbing the corporate ladder in marketing, eventually becoming an EVP at an advertising agency. From the outside, I had it all, the title, the salary, the respect. But behind closed doors, I was falling apart. My hair was falling out. I couldn't sleep. I developed a rare vocal cord condition that made me sound like I was about to cry in every meeting. I burned out twice before I finally understood that working harder wasn't the problem. My patterns and identity around work were the real culprits.
After hitting rock bottom, I hired a coach who changed everything. She showed me that burnout wasn't a badge of honor or a personal failing. It was a wake-up call. I learned to disrupt the people-pleasing, the overfunctioning, the guilt that kept me trapped in cycles of exhaustion. That transformation led me here, helping high-achieving individuals break free from the same patterns that nearly broke me.
I work with teams and leaders who are tired of proving their worth by pushing past their limits. Together, we tackle the real drivers of burnout: weak boundaries, imposter syndrome, the inability to rest without guilt. I've brought this work to Fortune 500 companies, leading keynotes and facilitating workshops for teams of any size, delivering powerful talks that address what's keeping your teams stuck. Your people need someone who's been in the trenches and knows the way out.
The Workshop
When I speak to groups I cover these topics:
-
What burnout is and why high performers are especially susceptible to it
-
A self-assessment to identify where you are on the burnout spectrum and what your body is trying to tell you
-
Tools and practices to help prevent, recognize and reverse burnout
Format options: 60-90 minute keynote, half-day workshop, or full-day intensive (customizable for groups of any size)
