The Role of Leadership in Preventing Burnout

Burnout isn’t just an individual issue — it’s a leadership challenge. Drawing on her PhD-level research in health psychology and practical consultancy experience, Maria Camila Umana explores how leaders can prevent burnout before it takes hold. Using evidence-based insights, real case studies, and quantitative data, she highlights the critical connection between leadership behaviours and employee wellbeing. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of prevention strategies and actionable approaches to fostering healthier, more sustainable workplaces where teams can thrive without sacrificing mental health.
