Summary

Work has never felt heavier. Employees are logging long hours, juggling endless demands, and still struggling to keep up. Productivity is plateauing, stress is spiking, and burnout is becoming the norm. If you’re thinking, “This isn’t sustainable,” you’re right.

But here’s the twist: it’s not the workload that’s wearing us down—it’s the thoughtload.

We’re not just overwhelmed by tasks. We’re distracted, triggered, and running on empty. The real culprit is the invisible tax on our attention, our emotions, and our energy.

In this eye-opening and actionable session, Dr. Liane Davey introduces a radical reframe of what’s really making work feel so hard. With groundbreaking research, sharp insight and relatable stories, she unpacks the three forces that make up the modern thoughtload—attention overload, emotional reactivity, and energy depletion—and offers practical tools to lighten the lift.

You’ll learn how to support employees to:

• Reclaim focus by shifting from activity obsession to outcome orientation
• Recognize and regulate emotional triggers that derail teams
• Tap into renewable sources of energy

This isn’t another time management talk. It’s a complete reset for the way we think, feel, and lead at work—because if we want to go further, we need to carry less.
