Why Leaders Need This Now
Outcomes for Your Team
Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a workplace signal. Constant change, load creep, and meeting bloat drain teams faster than resilience can rebuild. This workshop helps leaders treat burnout at the source: workload design, clarity, fairness, and connection. Expect evidence, language you can use tomorrow, and simple moves that add up.
Spot the Signals Early – Recognize workload, fairness, and control patterns before they become attrition.
Redesign Workload, Not People – Shift from “work harder” to “design smarter” using a practical audit.
Meetings → Deep Work – Reduce coordination drag and protect thinking time with blocks that actually hold.
Micro-Recovery Habits – Short, leader-led practices that compound over weeks.
Language That Lowers Stigma – Talk about burnout without blame; build psychological safety.
From Perks to Practice – Replace “performative wellness” with system fixes that last.
Everything you need to know, no strings attached

It’s 2024, and burnout continues to surge, in some sectors surpassing 2020 levels. Brain fog—a symptom of burnout—is playing a terrible mental trick on our workforce and organizational success. It causes people to make more mistakes, be more distracted and less agreeable, and feel exhausted when performing simple tasks. Those affected, and unfortunately others, start to question their professional effectiveness, which leads to what Moss has identified as “The Underperformer Myth.”
Jennifer Moss, globally recognized workplace strategist and author of The Burnout Epidemic, says it’s not underperformance – it’s burnout – and it’s preventable.
This burnout workshop helps leaders understand the real issues and get the workforce back to health and high performance. Based on her award-winning book from Harvard Business Press, Moss shares novel, research-backed advice for individuals and leaders on identifying chronic stress and strategies for fixing it.
Considered “the burnout speaker of all burnout speakers”, Jennifer Moss is the go-to expert on workplace culture, well-being and burnout prevention. Jennifer was the lead author of HBR’s Big Idea, Beyond Burned Out. Find Moss’ other HBR articles and books here.
“Jennifer’s deep expertise in burnout was extremely valuable to our organization. She was a voice of reason, a wake-up call to inspire awareness, understanding, and create positive change.”
