"I used to believe that the only way to get ahead was to push myself to the brink of exhaustion. Yes, I hit goals and picked up medals, but it nearly broke me. And there's a much better way than that."

​This 60 minute workshop tackles the pressure many underrepresented people feel to outperform in order to be seen or respected. An interactive session that shows how we can succeed without sacrificing wellbeing and guides organisations towards fairer approaches to performance.
​

• Practical strategies for achieving success without constantly pushing to extremes
• Tools for navigating bias and shifting the expectations placed on you
