    Embrace the Yes: The Unconventional Way to Prevent and Blaze Burnout

    April 2, 2025 - 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM CST

    Imagine a workplace where stress sparks solutions instead of struggles. Where your team doesn’t just survive the grind but thrives in it. Where productivity, passion, and mental wellness coexist—and fuel success together.

    This is the future of work—and it starts now with BLAZE BURNOUT.

    Burnout is everywhere–90% of employees report feeling burnt out, and the ripple effects—declining performance, disengagement, and mass turnover—are hitting hard. It’s draining energy, sapping creativity, and pushing the best people out the door. But here’s the truth no one’s telling you: burnout isn’t a problem to fix—it’s a warning light signaling deeper issues.

    Jessica Rector is here to flip the script. Her revolutionary system rewires how we think about burnout. With her dynamic, research-backed approach, Jessica goes beyond temporary fixes to tackle burnout at its roots. Her actionable strategies unleash energy, boost productivity, and reawaken your workforce’s passion.

    This is a high-energy, interactive, game-changing experience that will inspire and challenge you. You’ll walk away equipped to shift your culture, energize your people, and lead your organization to new heights.

    Are you ready to lead boldly, work differently, and live fully? Let’s burn out burnout—for good.

    Session objectives: 

    • Construct a personalized blueprint for recognizing and preventing personal burnout
    • Demonstrate techniques to transform stress into a catalyst for growth
    • Understand the REAL drivers of burnout (hint: it’s not what you think)
    • Uncover advanced communication frameworks to build psychological safety in your organization and with leaders
    • Analyze how mental health and burnout impact each other and how to stop the cycle
