Burnout Education for People and Organisations

Helping individuals, families and organisations recognise, recover from and prevent burnout.

At the end of life, the regret: “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”*
At the height of success, the collapse: a founder on her office floor.**
In between, millions of us keep driving on empty, telling ourselves we will stop next month.

I speak about burnout because I have lived it, watched it unfold in organisations around the world and learned, through the ancient Vedic lifestyle, how to recover from it.

Burnout is not a personal failure. It is a slow drift that can be prevented.

Through keynote talks, podcast conversations and workshops, I help people understand burnout early, before the engine overheats.

Why I Speak About Burnout

  • December 2015 was the day everything stopped for me. I know from the inside how burnout creeps in and how long we can keep going before the body says no.
  • I worked in senior international HR roles across different industries, supporting people and teams across EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas. I saw burnout from the other side too, in colleagues, teams and leaders.
  • My way back came through the ancient Vedic lifestyle, which I went on to study in depth, including in India. It is the tradition that Ayurveda, yoga and meditation come from: a way of living in tune with our natural rhythms, through daily routine, nourishing food, gentle yogic movement that re-energises the body, breath, rest and stillness.
  • Today I turn that lived experience into education, so that individuals, families and organisations can recognise burnout early.

Because no one should have to wait until everything stops.

Workshops for Organisations

Burnout is a business cost, not only a personal one.

Worldwide, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety, at a cost of around US$1 trillion in lost productivity (World Health Organisation).

My workshops help teams and managers spot the early signs, prevent burnout and keep performing without running on empty.

Each workshop follows my three-step framework, the Art of Being Well: Awareness, Ritual, Tune-up.

Because high-performing teams need pit stops too.
