Sally discusses the theoretical underpinnings of burnout, illustrating instances as she delves into the depths of her own experiences. Each encounter with burnout plunged her into despair, grappling with physical and emotional exhaustion while questioning her worth. Despite the darkness, Sally confronted her demons with courage, emerging stronger each time and has been taking the unspoken subject of burnout to remove the shame and stigma surrounding burnout and mental health challenges.

Sally explores the (often self-induced) pressure that high performers face, having been rewarded for pushing through exhaustion, until burnout forces a reckoning.

Her keynotes challenge the notion that stress equals success, offering a new framework: sustainable performance built on recovery, clarity, and psychological safety.

Drawing on real-world experience and evidence-based insights, Sally speaks to women and leadership audiences who are ready to thrive at work without sacrificing wellbeing.

Audiences can leave with:

1. A new understanding of performance that includes recovery
2. Language to normalise a sustainable pace at work
3. Practical strategies to reduce burnout risk
4. Permission to redefine success in the next chapter of work

Audiences Sally has and continues to connect with:
Banking, insurance, finance, property, law, IT, health, education, Government, not-for-profit and SME.
