Kelley discusses the underlying conditions that lead to burnout, along with strategies to mitigate and prevent these systemic issues from arising in the future.
In a time when organizations feel employees and candidates control the market, and when individuals carry resentment for being burnt by employers in the past, how do we restore trust and retain our top talent? Kelley shares her framework.
In this keynote, Kelley shares the true cost of burnout — both to an organization and the individuals that work there — and how dual responsibility for changing the narrative around burnout is necessary to end tradeoffs and turnover.

Alison Miley - Senior Vice President of Communications Services at Notion Strategies
We worked with Kelley on a Fortune 500 C-level leadership offsite event. She took time to deeply understand the audience so she could deliver the most impactful presentation, guide difficult but necessary discussions, and facilitate workshops to help the team evolve their thinking and behaviors. Her approach to inclusive innovation, diversity and belonging was presented in the context of broader corporate goals and strategies, creating the necessary connection between the two for our client. She is truly a powerhouse and is uniquely skilled at moving the needle on helping teams operate with an “inclusive innovation” approach. We could not recommend her enough and look forward to teaming up with her again!

Working with [Burn Bright] has been a great experience. They are superb at translating deep expertise in mental health into an engaging and impactful experience for participants. They took the time to understand our organization’s mission-driven, scientific culture. We were able to create multiple workshops that served our community, and I happily referred them to colleagues at other organizations because of the quality of their work.
