From Burned-Out to Burn-Bright: Personal Strategies to Thrive in a High-Demand Industry

Premise
Today’s workforce is under more pressure than ever—tight deadlines, constant change, and high expectations have become the norm. But for many professionals, the cost is burnout. And for organizations, that cost is staggering—estimated at over $5 million per year for a 1,000-employee company due to turnover, disengagement, and lost productivity.

With nearly 20 years in high-demand industries, Serban Mare understands the toll that stress and burnout take on even the most driven professionals—and how quietly they erode motivation, creativity, and results.

Here’s the win-win: when individuals thrive, companies benefit—retaining top talent, boosting performance, and building more energized, resilient teams without requiring major systemic overhauls.

This session is designed for professionals who want to do meaningful work without sacrificing their well-being. Through relatable stories, science-backed insights, and practical tools, participants will learn how to take control of their stress, energy, and time—transforming burnout risk into sustainable success.
