Burnout Prevention Keynote Speaker for High-Stress Leadership Teams: Reignite Your Fire and Thrive™

Practical, research-backed tools leaders can use immediately to restore energy, clarity, and performance.

Burnout is one of the biggest performance risks facing organizations today. According to Moodle, 66% of Americans are burnt-out, due to heavy workloads, economic stress and shortstaffing. Leader burnout jumped to 56% in 2025. Leaders are being asked to shoulder more responsibility, respond to constant change, innovate solutions, work with AI, and support teams who are stressed and stretched thin. The result is exhaustion, negativity, foggy decision-making, and a loss of energy and productivity. Illness and absences increase, costing time, money and employee wellbeing, to the cost of over $300 billion worldwide.

Snowden McFall, M.A.T., brings a Fired Up! approach to burnout prevention that blends practical tools, science-based strategies, and more than 30 years of experience helping leaders sustain their energy and stay grounded under pressure.
In her keynotes and trainings, your people will learn:

practical techniques to restore energy throughout the day
the early warning signs of burnout and what to do to prevent it
clear boundaries that reduce overload and increase focus
creative strategies for helping leaders be calm, focused and effective under pressure
recovery habits that protect physical and mental health
team practices that support well-being and reduce stress

The research is clear: for every dollar invested in wellness training, employers saw an average return of $5.81 (American Journal of Health Promotions.)

Why Burnout Is the New Leadership Crisis

Stress levels in many organizations have quietly reached a breaking point. Leaders are juggling larger workloads, tighter timelines, and higher expectations than ever before. Remote and hybrid environments introduce new communication challenges. Geopolitical shifts, artificial intelligene and constant change create pressure that rarely lets up.

In its latest 2025 report, Gallup says only 21% of employees are actively engaged with their work, which means nearly 80% are disenegaged, bored and sometimes destructive to the workplace.

Burnout rarely arrives all at once. It builds slowly through ongoing pressure, unclear expectations, poor management, emotional overload, and the belief that leaders must always stay strong for others. Over time, exhaustion sets in, performance suffers, decision-making becomes weaker, and even simple tasks feel draining. Teams sense the shift quickly. Communication falters, morale slips and productivity plummets.

The good news is burnout is both recognizable and preventable. Snowden teaches leaders how to spot the early signs of burnout, interrupt the patterns that accelerate fatigue, restore their energy in practical ways, and build habits that support clarity and effectiveness even in demanding environments.

Extensive Advance Research Before Any Keynote or Training

Every organization experiences burnout differently. Snowden takes the time to understand what is actually happening inside your culture before she steps on stage. Through extensive confidential interviews, she identifies:

the root causes of stress your leaders are facing
pressure points that drain energy or focus
communication patterns that may be increasing overload
unexpressed expectations leaders have of their people
system-level habits that influence your culture’s wellbeing
hidden stressors which impact team members

This preparation ensures each keynote is fully relevant, grounded in your people’s true life experiences, and tailored to the challenges they face every day. Snowden’s interactive, positive Fired Up! delivery brings warmth, clarity, humor, and an energizing mix of real stories and actionable strategies.
