Session Description: Katie Virtue, author of The Sustainable Performance Playbook, delivers a high-impact keynote that helps leaders escape the pressure of always operating at 100%. In today’s always-on environment, constant overdrive leads to burnout, poor decision-making, and stalled growth.

Katie introduces her practical 3-step framework built on Purpose, Values, and Behaviors, paired with her Energy Eval, a tool that reveals what’s fueling and draining performance. Through relatable stories and actionable insights, audiences gain a clear understanding of how to create more strategic space, improve focus, and sustain high performance without burnout.

Participants leave with simple, realistic behavior shifts they can apply immediately to lead themselves and others more effectively. This keynote doesn’t just inspire change. It equips leaders with the tools to perform at their best, consistently.

Learning Objectives:
1. Reframe performance: Understand why operating at “100%” leads to burnout and learn a more sustainable approach to maintaining high performance.
2. Identify energy drivers and drains: Use the Energy Eval framework to recognize the behaviors that impact focus, effectiveness, and overall leadership performance.
3. Apply practical behavior shifts: Leave with 1–2 simple, actionable changes to improve decisionmaking, create strategic space, and lead more effectively without burning out.
