Join the companies taking bold action on burnout.
Settle the score
Most keynotes give your team a Tuesday high and a Thursday Crash.
- Generic motivational speakers dressed as culture strategy.
- A jolt of energy that evaporates by the time everyone’s back at their desks.
- Corporate wellness theater that checks a box without changing a single habit.
A talk should leave people with something they can actually use Monday morning. Not just something that felt good to hear.
Three problems, not one
Burnout doesn’t look the same on every Team.
The penalty box
High performers, penalized twice.
Your top performers mask struggle behind visible output. They get penalized by a culture that only sees their wins, and by wellness programs that treat their drive as something to manage.
This work gives people permission to perform fully, without the penalty.
Playing out of position
They learned every framework, and none of it stuck.
Most of your people haven’t failed at productivity. The frameworks have failed them. Now they’re improvising at a high level, carrying invisible cognitive load that quietly caps how far they can go.
This is a systems mismatch, not a personal failing.
Flag on the play
Multiple identities, no unifying story.
Your most capable people are often carrying multiple identities and skill sets with no through-line. They shrink themselves to fit whatever room they’re in, exhausted by the effort of it.
This work helps people build the container that holds all of it at once.

East Carolina University
We first hired Coach Ellyn to give a webinar on the 4 types of burnout. The webinar was such a success that we hired her again 2 months later. I highly recommend her.Dr. Lisandra de Castro Bras · East Carolina University, Brody Women’s Faculty Councilrehired two months later.
“Coach Ellyn gave such energy to her presentation at our all-team meeting last month. Her content was spot on to what our team needed to hear about burnout and she kept everyone fully engaged. Hire her. You won’t regret it.”Shannon Kavanaugh · CEO, Archbright
“Her ability to bridge the gap between science and emotions is unmatched. My team of 40 leaders walked away with many tools to help manage burnout.”Paxton Anderson · Strata Geotech
“Ellyn geared the material toward our specific needs, covered each topic thoroughly, and fostered discussion through breakout rooms. She was very engaging and able to respond to questions and pivot as the need arose.”Karen Kopka · American Licorice

Why me
Not a motivational speaker with a slide deck of Quotes.
My talks come from science, systems and sport. A research scientist’s rigor, applied to burnout and performance, and delivered plainly, to teams as people, not an audience to be inspired.
