BALANCE BEFORE BURNOUT
Your leadership begins with your wellbeing
Join Ruth Kent from Sunrise Well for this practical workshop for leaders who want to stay healthy, focussed, and energised — and help their teams do the same.
Samantha, a senior operations manager in a large financial services company, didn’t realise she was burning out until she snapped at a colleague during a routine meeting. She found herself sitting in her car in the parking lot, bawling her eyes out, utterly exhausted.
She’d been working through weekends, responding to emails at midnight, and telling herself it was “just a busy season.”
When HR flagged rising sick leave and disengagement in her team, she finally admitted things weren’t sustainable, and the workhorse ethic she'd be role-modelling wasn't healthy for herself or her team.
Instead of pushing through, Samantha committed to making small, strategic changes to the way she handled work and life.
With support, she reframed her approach to leadership — not as relentless output, but as modelling healthy, high-impact performance.
Three months later, she wasn’t just coping — she was leading with clarity, energy, and respect.
Her team noticed. And the business performance demonstrated a clear improvement.
Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s often the result of prolonged, mismatched demands on people who care about doing good work.
In high-pressure roles, waiting for a crisis is a luxury we can’t afford. And relying on personal grit alone is a fast track to exhaustion.
That’s why strategic leaders are taking proactive steps to protect their energy and model balance — not just for their own wellbeing, but to retain good people and sustain performance across their teams.
this practical, evidence-based workshop will Help you:
Identify burnout — and explain why high-performing, committed people are most at risk.
Analyse the inner habits and leadership patterns that fuel chronic stress.
Reframe your leadership mindset for sustainable performance (without losing your edge).
Walk away with personal and strategic tools — including mindfulness and reframing — that help you lead well without running on empty.
You’ll walk away able to:
✔ Recognise early signs of burnout — in yourself and your team.
✔ Apply smart, simple tools to reset your mindset and energy.
✔ Set clearer boundaries and communicate them with confidence.
✔ Use a practical leadership energy audit to track what’s fuelling (or draining) you.
✔ Role-model the kind of leadership your team actually needs — present, calm, and sustainable.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity and thank you for curating a very insightful and informative session…. as talked about, it is not a “one size fits all” approach but as unique as our fingerprints. What really excites and energises me is that we have passionate people like you that reminds us of the importance of the “I care” factor and that if we truly want to make our world a better place, people will get better.”
