Wellbeing that doesn't fade after the retreat’s over.

Many leaders care about their team’s wellbeing; the gap is knowing how to operationalize it. Let us partner with you in promoting rest and wellbeing in your organization to sustain performance.

Talks

We offer a different conversation about wellbeing.

Not another self-care talk.
Not another productivity hack.
Not another resilience lecture.

Meaningful Rest explores wellbeing through a different lens:

Intentional

Rest isn't simply what happens when the work is done. We can design rest as part of how we work.

Personal

People experience stress differently. So there isn't one formula for wellbeing. Rest isn’t one-size fits all.

Practical

The goal isn't simply to inspire people to think differently. It's to give them ideas and tools they can actually use.

What We Offer

  • "How to Prevent Burnout with the Right Type of Rest" is a 45-minute talk on burnout prevention. Attendees will learn how to recognize symptoms of stress that can lead to burnout, understand the three kinds of burnout, and align the type of rest needed to prevent it.

  • "Rest by Design" "Rest by Design" is an hour-long workshop or "rest-shop" for sustaining performance. Participants will learn the Energy Quadrant, understand their Stress Signature, identify stressors that deplete their energy, and find ways to integrate rest and recovery practices into the realities of their work and lives.

    Best for: Those in high-pressure, demanding roles and professions and/or industries with high burnout rates

    We partner with executives, team leaders, conference and event planners looking for a different wellbeing and performance conversation.

    Let’s explore if we might be a good fit for your upcoming meeting, event, or offsite (in-person, virtual, or hybrid).
