FPDA Webinar Series: Burn Bright Not Out

April 2025

Success today demands more than just effort—it requires focus, energy, and strategies that drive sustainable, peak performance without sacrificing well-being. For high-performing teams and leaders, the challenge isn’t just reaching the top; but staying energized, motivated, and fulfilled in order to stay at the top for the long haul.

Erin Stafford is a best-selling author, burnout survivor, high-performance strategist and Cambridge social psychologist. Erin has seen firsthand how hustle culture and constant over-achievement are coveted in the world of business yet can lead to debilitating burnout.

Erin offered practical tools for resilience, such as prioritizing tasks, practicing gratitude, and identifying sources of joy. She encouraged participants to evaluate their commitments and eliminate non-essential tasks to improve well-being. By sharing personal anecdotes and inviting attendees to reflect on their own lives, Erin aimed to inspire a proactive approach to managing stress and preventing burnout, while also providing resources for further support.
