Executive Burnout Prevention Speaker. Technology for Good. Keynotes. Team sessions. In-person + virtual.

A valuable speaker experience with tangible tools to create immediate change in high pressure environments. An empowering program to get to the core of where we can onboard effective wellness strategies into many of our daily processes and procedures.
We invited Kaz to address our global Sales organization, which comprises over 15,000 people, during a challenging period characterized by widespread burnout and anxiety. Morale had plummeted to an all-time low, and dissatisfaction had reached unprecedented levels. We were grappling with a loss of momentum and direction. In this critical moment, Kaz graciously agreed to share her remarkable story, extensive knowledge, and a visionary approach to help organizations achieve success while maintaining a human-centric leadership ethos.
With her wealth of experience in leading teams through similar demanding environments, Kaz adeptly dismantled the complexities of applying a human-centered approach to navigating the inevitable highs and lows of business. Her guidance not only propelled us toward collective success but also underscored the importance of preserving individual well-being.
If we could, we would give Kaz 500 stars out of 5 for the profound impact she had on our organization. Our only regret is that we didn't bring her in sooner. Every member of the audience left with a multitude of insights, enabling them to strike a harmonious balance between their personal lives and a newfound path to success. We cannot recommend her highly enough; the world needs more individuals like Kaz willing to share their wisdom and make us all better.

Kaz has a range of talk topics and creates custom people experiences based on what is needed.
One example:
Understanding the true cost of burning out top talent.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of innovation and creativity, burnout remains a prevalent issue. An alarming 89% of Americans suffered from its many forms last year, including symptoms of cognitive weariness, fatigue and reduced effort at work.
The "Push through it" mentality is effective for productive bursts, but using it as a continuous daily approach is causing harm and increasing the rate of workplace errors. The wellbeing of top talent greatly affects a company's productivity, culture, staff turnover and quality of output, costing millions of direct and indirect dollars when burnout occurs.
With decades of global experience in high pressure roles, Kaz delivers transformative insights and tools to help get to the core of where change can happen immediately, shining a light on how we can achieve excellence, avoid burning out our brightest stars and steer innovation responsibly together.
