Burnout is costing organizations billions in lost productivity, turnover, and disengagement. This energizing session gives employees and leaders the tools to manage stress more effectively and perform at a higher level. Drawing from Janice’s Banish Burnout Toolkit, participants learn how to interrupt unproductive stress reactions, reframe overwhelming thought patterns, and adopt healthier behaviors that support focus, well-being, and long-term success. The result is a more resilient, productive workforce that can thrive even in high-pressure environments.

Banish Burnout™: Move from Stress to Success gives organizations a proven, behavior-based system to strengthen retention, elevate productivity, and build a resilient, high-performing workforce. Participants learn how to identify the real drivers of burnout, interrupt unproductive stress reactions, and adopt healthier, more effective behavior patterns that improve decision-making and team dynamics.

Rather than offering surface-level “feel-good” tips, this program delivers practical, research-backed tools leaders and teams can apply immediately. Attendees walk away with a stronger capacity to regulate stress, communicate effectively, set healthier boundaries, and sustain performance during high-pressure moments.

Organizations choose this keynote because it directly supports key business outcomes:

1. Higher retention and engagement
2. Improved productivity and focus
3. Emotionally intelligent managers who prevent burnout before it starts
4. A healthier, more resilient culture that drives long-term performance

Banish Burnout™ Toolkit workbooks can be made available for all participants.

Organizations everywhere are struggling to retain talent, and employees are making their needs unmistakably clear. They want purpose, support, and leaders who know how to create a culture where people can do their best work. This high-energy, interactive session shows leaders how to reduce burnout, boost productivity, and strengthen retention by building a people-first culture. Participants learn practical tools from Janice’s book Banish Organizational Burnout: 26 Tips for Managers to develop emotionally intelligent managers, elevate psychological safety, and help teams stay engaged, focused, and motivated.

Employee retention is at a breaking point, and employees are communicating loud and clear with their actions. They want to work in cultures that support them, develop them, and connect their work to purpose. When organizations fail to meet those needs, top talent heads for the exit.

This lively, interactive program gives leaders and managers the tools to strengthen retention, elevate productivity, and reduce burnout across the organization. By focusing on both sides of the burnout equation, Janice shows organizations how to create the conditions that help teams thrive. The result is a workplace where managers lead with emotional intelligence, teams perform at their best, and people choose to stay.

1. Build a people-first culture through values, policies, and leadership behaviors that support well-being and high performance

AI is changing how we find talent, but it’s human connection that determines whether great people say yes and stay. This engaging session shows organizations how to combine the efficiency of AI with the emotional intelligence, purpose, and communication today’s workforce expects. Participants learn how to elevate their talent brand, create a standout candidate experience, and strengthen manager behaviors that drive long-term retention. The result is a more connected, purpose-driven culture that attracts high-potential talent and keeps them engaged.

In today’s talent marketplace, organizations aren’t losing candidates because of a lack of résumés. They’re losing them because their recruiting process fails to deliver human results. AI is transforming sourcing, screening, and workflow efficiency, but the candidates who make the biggest impact still choose employers based on connection, purpose, and culture.

This timely and energizing program helps organizations strengthen both recruiting and retention by returning the human back to hiring. Drawing on 20 years in technology recruiting and the latest insights from the Janice’s Hiring Methodology, Janice shows organizations how to blend the best of AI with the irreplaceable power of emotional intelligence, purpose-driven communication, and authentic relationship-building.

Participants learn how to build talent pipelines that attract the right people, deliver a candidate experience that reflects company values, and ensure managers are prepared to support and retain new hires long after day one. This session reframes recruiting as the first step of retention, teaching leaders how to magnify a culture employees feel proud to join and motivated to stay.

Key business outcomes include:

• A more compelling talent brand in a competitive marketplace

• Higher-quality applicants who align with culture and purpose

• Stronger manager EQ that improves engagement and retention

• Reduced turnover through a more intentional, human-centered onboarding experience

• A meaningful integration of AI that speeds workflow without losing connection

Whether your organization is struggling to attract talent, keep talent, or both, this session shows how to build a hiring strategy that succeeds because it is genuinely human.
