Event Details
We're made to believe that we can have it all-juggling the successful career and thriving life we see on picture-perfect social posts. To get there, we're told to chase work-life balance like it's the holy grail. But for many high-achieving professionals, the pace of ambition is unsustainable- and burnout has become the cost of success.
What if it doesn't have to be that way?
In this honest and energizing keynote, executive coach and former Fortune 100 marketing leader Kelly Poquiz Burke challenges outdated ideas about hustle culture, ambition, and balance. With humor and heart, she offers a powerful mindset shift-one that helps audiences break free from burnout and redefine success
on their own terms.
