The Uncommon Cure for Leadership Burnout

Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders as a leader? You’re not alone. A staggering 63% of C-suite leaders are flirting with burnout long before they hit 50. And here’s the kicker—it’s not because they lack drive or talent. It’s because they’re surrounded by the wrong people in the wrong roles.

What if avoiding burnout wasn’t about cutting back, but about reshaping your team? Michael King reveals the surprising antidote to leadership exhaustion: Blueprints and Frameworks. These aren’t just abstract terms; they’re the two types of people who make or break your organization.

In this eye-opening and energizing keynote, Michael will:

Get ready for a session packed with humor, real-world stories, and a refreshing take on leadership that will leave your audience laughing, thinking, and—best of all—recharged.
