Reduce turnover, protect leadership capacity, and give your leaders the tools to sustain their own performance and keep their teams producing.
When workloads are high and the pressure is on, leaders start absorbing more than they can recover from. Performance problems follow: turnover, disengagement, decisions that don't get made. They rarely get traced back to the right cause. This session gives them the tools to interrupt the cycle.
This session is designed for HR leaders and executive teams who need their leaders performing at full capacity through high-demand periods.
This is the right fit if your organization is dealing with:
Leaders leave this day knowing their own stress response, practical tools for protecting their capacity, and a concrete action plan they execute the next day.
Burnout is what happens when demand consistently outpaces recovery. Leaders lose capacity, disengage, and their performance declines.
When your leaders burn out, the effect does not stay contained. Leadership burnout directly predicts burnout rates among direct reports. A depleted leader produces a depleted team.
The organizational consequences show up before anyone uses the word burnout:

When leaders burn out, their teams follow. The cost of inaction is not one burnout. It is a cascade. Against these numbers, a $10,000 investment in equipping your leadership bench to recognize and interrupt burnout is not an expense. It is risk mitigation with a calculable return.
Most workplace wellness programs cover what burnout is, why it matters, and what healthy habits look like.
The gap is execution under stress: doing it consistently, under pressure, when conditions are hardest.
This session draws on Dr. Dayna Lee-Baggley's 20 years of expertise to address the behavioral realities that standard wellness training ignores: why leaders default to depletion when the costs are obvious, why stress overrides good intentions and blocks behavior change, and what actually shifts sustainable habits under pressure.
The session builds four core competencies:
The neuroscience of the stress response: how the brain narrows decision-making and overrides good intentions. Leaders develop a personalized stress monitoring system. They leave knowing their own early warning signals and the specific conditions that deplete them.
Why some activities restore energy and others drain it, and why the answer is different for every leader. Leaders identify their personal recharging behaviors, audit how they spend their capacity, and build an action plan for maintaining their energy.
An evidence-based system for building habits that hold: realistic goal-setting, setback protocols, and tracking designed for high-pressure environments.
Leaders audit their team environment against the evidence-based causes of burnout and leave with a prioritized action plan.
Every session is tailored. Dr. Dayna will consult with you before the event to understand the specific pressures your leaders are navigating and build case studies and exercises from that context.
Your leaders leave having done the work, not having heard about it.
Your organization gets fewer escalations to HR, reduced voluntary turnover in your leadership bench, and a leadership team with the capacity to sustain performance through high-demand periods.

Starting price, plus travel expenses for in-person delivery
One voluntary leadership departure costs your organization an estimated $20,000â$60,000 in recruitment and onboarding alone. One day invested in giving your leaders the tools to sustain their own performance is a hedge against a cost you're already paying.
Personalized executive coaching to reach 20 leaders individually would exceed $25,000. This session delivers the same behavior change at scale, in a single day.
