In the ever-evolving landscape of modern workplaces, the narrative often revolves around organisational culture as the linchpin for success or failure. However, beneath the surface of these discussions lies a potent adversary—burnout. It’s time to challenge the prevailing notion that workplace challenges are primarily rooted in culture and assert that, more often than not, they emanate from the pervasive force of burnout. Addressing burnout, the cause rather than the symptom, is the transformative key for organisations to navigate and thrive in today’s fast-paced economy.
In this workshop we cover:
- What is burnout really, and why does it matter?
- Signs & symptoms of burnout in your organization
- The consequences of burnout on team dynamics and why this matters for your bottom line and the sustainability of your non-profit
- 3 steps to improving company culture by addressing burnout

“Just had to drop a quick shoutout to Avery – what a rockstar! She recently swung by for a chat on my podcast, The Trusted Friend, and let me tell you, her vibe is contagious. Avery’s got this incredible way of making you feel like you’ve known her forever, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about making life better for those around her. What blew me away even more is how she channels her own health battles into a superpower of empathy. Meeting her in person, you can’t help but notice her infectious motivation to soak up knowledge like a sponge, all for the sole purpose of helping others. Avery is the real deal – a total inspiration and a seriously cool young woman. Can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’s bound to accomplish!” ~ Lisa Helton, Host of The Trusted Friend podcast

Stress management and burnout recovery is different for high achievers, especially when they also identify as being highly sensitive. Very quick to sabotage themselves with:
- perfectionism (overt or covert)
- inadequate energy management (throughout the four energy spheres: physical, mental, emotional, and fulfillment energy)
- lack of legacy clarity (feeling unfulfilled in their work because they’re working on the “wrong” tasks)
- taking on too much, not knowing how to manage their time or set effective boundaries that align with being an emotional person who cares deeply about how the boundary will affect the other person.
With this focus, Avery will share signs and symptoms of burnout, what it means to be a highly sensitive person, the strengths and downfalls of being a high-achiever, and how to redefine it, and finally how to recover from and prevent burnout from ever happening again.
In this workshop we delve into the intricacies of self-sabotage and empower you to overcome its challenges.
We’ll cover:
- Why we self-sabotage
- The importance of knowing your self-sabotage style and how to discover your own
- The 3 core fears that lead to self-sabotage
- Why faking it until you make it doesn’t work
- What to do instead
- Question and Answer period
Stress, Burnout and Trauma are buzzwords in the personal development and wellness space, which is good in that it’s increasing awareness, but potentially harmful as misinformation is spread.
Drawing from her knowledge as a Advanced Critical Care Nurse and the knowledge learned from all the research as a long-time super-nerd, Avery will provide accurate information that is easy for your audience to understand and apply to their own life so they can name their experience and know exactly what to do about it.
Productivity is something that high achievers are always looking for ways to hack or improve in an attempt to reach the peak performance space where they’re at their best. However, there are many strategies being taught that actually perpetuate the burnout culture in our fast-paced modern world.
In this talk, Avery will share the four keys to unlocking your productivity potential with actionable steps to help your audience start putting these keys into action right away.
In this topic, Avery will share her real, raw, and vulnerable story of:
- who she saw herself as while she identified as Heather
- why it was so hard for her to figure out a way forward after she got sick
- how she found the name Avery and why changing her name helped her feel at home in her body again
- the things she still struggles with, and what she’s learned to let go of, in order to live a full life as a high achiever with a chronic illness and disability
- how you can take steps to reclaim your own identity after significant personal loss and find meaning and purpose in your life again
