Work With Me
I partner with executive teams, universities, and organizations to design evidence-based burnout prevention, workplace wellbeing strategy, and leadership mental health initiatives.
I am also available for media commentary and interviews on stress, burnout, workplace mental health, and culturally-informed wellbeing.
If you are seeking a keynote speaker, facilitator, expert voice, or writer, who brings research depth, cultural insight, practical implementation, with a little bit of humor and lightness, I would welcome the conversation.
Increasingly, organizations are recognizing that sustainable high performance requires sustainable high performers.
