When Burnout Speaks and No One Listens

Can be a keynote, workshop or fire side chat

Burnout is more than just exhaustion—it’s a crisis that affects individuals, teams, and entire organizations. It disrupts productivity, morale, and communication, leading to costly turnover and disengagement. Yet, burnout isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. People react to stress differently based on their personality, environment, and communication style.

Jessica introduces the groundbreaking BURN Profiles, the first and only system that categorizes how individuals experience, respond to, and recover from burnout. By understanding these four profiles participants gain powerful insights into their own burnout patterns and learn how to support others in a meaningful way.

With interactive exercises and real-world applications, this session goes beyond theory. Attendees will identify their personal burnout profile, recognize how others experience burnout differently, and uncover key strategies to improve workplace and personal communication. Miscommunication is one of the leading causes of stress in teams, yet few people truly understand how to bridge the gaps. Through live activities, participants will engage in eye-opening exercises that reveal how easily communication breaks down—and how simple shifts can create stronger, more supportive relationships.

This session is essential for leaders, teams, and professionals who want to prevent burnout before it starts. By recognizing individual burnout triggers and learning to communicate with different personality types, attendees will leave with actionable strategies to foster a healthier, more resilient workplace. Whether navigating high-pressure careers, leading teams, or maintaining personal relationships, this session equips participants with the tools to manage stress, enhance collaboration, and create a culture of understanding and support.
