And it is one that leaders can no longer ignore. Across industries\, teams are stretched thin\, managers are overwhelmed\, and high performers are quietly disengaging. Burnout shows up not just in employee well-being\, but in missed goals\, eroded trust\, and cultures that struggle to retain top talent.  \nIn this high-impact\, action-oriented session\, Jackie Ferguson shares three simple\, evidence-informed strategies that leaders and employees can implement immediately to reduce burnout and create a culture of sustainable performance.  \nJackie will help you identify the real organizational drivers of burnout—and show how clarity\, care\, and connection can be activated through small\, consistent actions at every level of the business.  \nYou Will Learn:  \n\nHow to talk about bandwidth and normalize conversations about capacity and support—without stigma or guilt. \n\n\nWhen to give (and ask for) control with autonomy\, prioritization\, and flexibility to reduce stress and boost engagement. \n\n\nHow aligning tasks to personal strengths boosts performance and protects energy. \n\n\nHow to know your people beyond the job to understand what drives—or drains—them and respond with compassion when life spills into work. \n\nBurnout doesn’t disappear overnight—but change starts with one intentional action. In this session\, you’ll learn how small shifts in communication\, connection\, and leadership can spark lasting transformation—for yourself\, your team\, and your culture.  \nAbout the Speaker\nJackie Ferguson\, CDE\nCo-Founder & VP of Content\, Programming\, and Products\nThe Diversity Movement\, a Workplace Options Company\nJackie Ferguson is a bestselling author\, award-winning entrepreneur\, and Vice President of Content\, Programming\, and Products at TDM.
