Combating Burnout to Reach Our Goals

-

Keynote Description:

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 is the talk to get your 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 to identify chronic stress and the strategies to fix 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

(re)Discovering Happiness at Work

-

 Keynote Description:

We’ve come through a crisis, and for better or worse – it changed us. We gained plenty of skills – pivoting on the fly, working from anywhere, adopting new tech, and building resiliency. We might be hopeful, but we have a long way to go – Gallup says that less than 1 in 4 people are thriving at work.

If the dust is settling and our well-being is (re)booting in our personal lives, why does work still feel so “meh”? We feel less confident, less effective, and less connected – blame that on chronic stress but also hunger for purpose and meaning. We want to get the MAGIC back!

In her newest keynote offering, (re)Discovering Happiness at Work, award-winning author and journalist Jennifer Moss will engage audiences with novel ways to bring that lost sense of purpose back to work and life. With the latest behavioural and economic sciences research, Jennifer explains what makes us want to show up at work and how to tear down the psychological barriers holding us back. This is a high-energy, future-focused, entertaining, data-backed discussion. The audience will nod, “You get me,” and leave feeling confident that “I can do this!”

We’ve changed, and so has our relationship with work. To make it the best it can be, we must unite – leaders and teams – to (re)Discover Happiness at Work.

Reducing Stress and Increasing Engagement
in Changing Times

-

Keynote Description:

Toxic productivity persists despite the days of "crisis mode" being in the rearview. Growth expectations have not slowed, workloads are still unmanageable, and people keep quietly quitting or quitting outright.

People are not only overworked, but there have been constant changes in process, new technology to master, ever-increasing meetings, new modes of working, rising loneliness, and an explosion of inefficiencies that feel like pouring glue into an already sluggish wheel. We can’t go back to the old ways of working. Today, employees see well-being as a right not a perk. Is your organization ready to respond?

Takeaways include:

  • How to better measure the risk of attrition and disengagement before it’s too late

  • Ways to shape a better hybrid/remote/in-person strategy to prevent burnout 

  • Tackling unmanageable workloads (it’s not what you think)

  • The six root causes of burnout—and what organizations can do to prevent it

  • Why traditional corporate wellness initiatives may worsen the problem

  • Leading in the age of quiet quitting, rage applying, and future work trends 

  • How organizations can lead with empathy and why that matters right now

    ***Available as an in-person or virtual keynote with an optional breakout room follow-up.
