My first TEDx talk on preventing burnout for executives

Hi dear friends,

It’s been a while, I know. :) Hope you are having a lovely summer and taking care both of your energy, delighting in the joys that summer naturally brings us and delighting in your work.

Been highly focused over the past 2 years in growing Illuminated Essence https://www.illuminatedessence.life/ , my brand for women’s wellness and holistic practices that enhance our lives and our mindset. It’s a bridge between all my studies in energy therapies, spirituality, wellbeing and successful businesses.

What makes the mindset of a successful executive? What makes a happy, fulfilled, energetic and productive executive? How about happy and fulfilled employees?


These are the questions to ask ourselves in this century and decade, as we see the rate of executive and entrepreneurial burnout and company attrition rates sky rocketing.

Recently, I was able to tackle these questions and share first-hand advice, based on my own experience and studies over the past few years, with a large audience. This summer I gave a TEDx talk in front of a large audience of over 1500 people in Romania, mostly corporates and entrepreneurs, at TEDx Cluj.

I will be very happy to share this talk with you when it is available online.

The most important to remember, for now, is that this topic is becoming a huge, world wide issue: the mental wellbeing of teams of executives and founders. Even more, studies show that all managers are affected, from junior to middle to senior level.

In 2019, the World Health Organization declared burnout as a mass phenomenon in organizations and it has steadily grown ever since, year after year.

Last year, 53% of all managers surveyed mentioned they have experienced at least once a burnout.

  • What do you think that does to to overall mental system of the person?

  • What is the impact in terms of creativity and innovation (as you cannnot innovate from a burnt out state) ?

  • What is the toll it has on overall productivity ?

    These are just some of the questions I am focused on tackling and providing solutions to, through my 1-on-1 Executive Coaching, as well as company-wide focused trainings this year and beyond.

    In my own experience, no one is truly spared of it, but the ones who rise above and develop well balanced inner leadership strategies, mindset habits and healthy energy management and lifestyle habits —> those are the ones who become truly leaders in their industry.

    Long term success is built on a healthy mindset and inner leadership habits.

My mission is to bring Energy management for Leaders and The science of Happiness back into organizations, all the while helping you to manage a successful career.

Because a world free of stress and burnout is a world that can innovate and find the solutions of the future.

If you would like to keep in touch and keep up to date with my research, trainings and coaching practice, then I invite you to also follow my LinkedIn, where I regularly post updates from conferences, talks and trainings in companies and organizations.

And if you would like to schedule a catch-up call to explore ways I can help you and your company thrive when it comes to developing healthy mindsets for wellbeing, innovation and inner leadership, then feel free to schedule a 30-mins call with me HERE.

It is a joy to be back in touch with you and I will be providing a lot more content and value on this topic through my next newsletters and masterclasses.

Wishing you a great month of August! :)
