MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
9:00 - 9:50 AM PT
Life doesn’t pause for our careers. At some point, we all experience seasons where “our human is showing.” Whether you’re starting a family, caring for aging parents, or breaking free from workaholic tendencies, these inevitable shifts come with challenges but also silver linings.
In this session, we’ll explore strategies to navigate these transitions while maintaining creativity, preventing burnout, and fostering resilience in both ourselves and our teams. I’ll share personal leadership rules that have helped me recognize and recover from burnout while creating space for sustainable success. We’ll wrap up with an honest discussion about reconciling career ambitions with life’s unpredictable demands—because thriving in both isn’t just possible, it’s necessary.
