PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight — and it rarely happens by accident.
It’s often the result of well-intended leadership habits, unspoken expectations, and cultural norms that quietly erode engagement over time.
Don’t Burn Out Your Best People helps leaders recognize how everyday decisions and behaviors contribute to burnout — and, more importantly, what they can change to protect energy, trust, and performance.
Drawing on her experience advising leaders across 150+ organizations and serving as a corporate executive herself, Carol Enneking offers a practical, leadership-focused reset. Rather than framing burnout as an individual resilience issue, this session reframes it as a leadership and culture challenge — one that can be addressed with clarity, intention, and accountability.
This session is especially effective for organizations that want to retain top talent, strengthen engagement, and sustain performance without burning out their best people in the process.
