Why High Performers Burn Out - and How It Happens Without Realizing It
Day 1: 8:55am - 10:00am (MT)
Burnout rarely comes from working too much - it’s more often the result of ongoing mental overload, internal pressure, and operating outside of one’s natural wiring. In this session, Christa Sutton explores why high-performing professionals are especially vulnerable to burnout and how it develops gradually over time. Attendees will gain insight into the role mental energy and personal operating style play in stress, focus, and sustainability, and how greater self-awareness can support long-term performance and well-being without lowering expectations or standards.
