The leaders most at risk aren’t the ones who don’t care enough – they’re the ones who care the most. High achievers are told to set a goal and never waver, but far too many are white-knuckling their way through the success-failure rollercoaster, calling on grit, practising gratitude, and blaming their mindset when it all gets too much. With burnout rates at an all-time high, it’s clear it isn’t working.

The problem is that fixed thinking, even when paired with audacious, bold, or simply optimistic goals, is the fastest route to burnout. And when leaders burn out, they don’t just crash – they take their teams down with them.

Audiences will discover:

• Why everything you’ve been told about resilience is just the beginning – and what it really takes to sustain it
• The difference between high achievers and overachievers – and which one burns out first
• The hidden cost of fixed thinking – even when your goals are bold, and your intentions are clear
• Burnt out, checked out, or worn out – which profile is running your performance and how to shift it
• The real foundation of sustainable high performance and how to build it
