The High Achiever's Guide to Burnout Prevention (Wed, July 22, 2026)

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 21:30:00 GMT

The High Achiever’s Guide to Burnout Prevention

You didn’t get this far by doing less. But somewhere between leading teams, managing up, mentoring others, and absorbing the invisible labor; the toll becomes too much to bare.

This workshop is for women in tech who are tired of being told to “do less” or “just say no” and who want a more honest conversation about why burnout happens to the most driven people in the room, and what to actually do about it.

We’ll dig into the psychology behind burnout: how perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, and relentless achievement quietly drain the tank even when everything looks fine from the outside. You’ll leave with practical tools to spot early warning signs, set boundaries that actually hold, reclaim your energy without guilt, and build a career that’s sustainable and ambitious.

Whether you’re running on empty, feeling the edge approaching, or simply protecting what you’ve built, this session will give you a framework that works for you

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
Recognize burnout for what it is and distinguish it from ordinary stress or a bad week
Name the patterns driving it such as: perfectionism, over-functioning, people-pleasing, boundary-setting struggles. We’ll also cover why high achievers are especially vulnerable
Understand what chronic stress actually does to your body, your thinking, and your performance over time
Assess your own risk and pinpoint where your energy is leaking
Apply evidence-based strategies to manage workload, establish boundaries, and perform sustainably (without sacrificing ambition)
Walk away with a personalized action plan to protect your well-being and build long-term resilience.
