I’m a leading global voice when it comes to Burnout. Trusted by leading organisations including Tesco, LUSH, the NHS, and the BBC. And I’ve shared the stage, and the TV screen with Dame Kelly Holmes and Vicky Pattison.

As a TEDx speaker, author, and founder of The Burnout Academy, I deliver science-backed, trauma-informed keynotes that spark real change. No slides, no fluff - just powerful insights and practical strategies for high-performing teams and leaders, and my talks pack a punch!
