Escaping the Type A Trap: Fostering Teams That Burn Bright, Not Out

Your team isn’t struggling because they’re not working hard enough. They’re struggling because they’re running on empty and it’s costing you in focus, productivity, and results. And for Type A leaders, that pattern often starts at the top. In this dynamic session, peak performance expert and author of The Type A Trap, Erin Stafford will explore the high-achieving habits and mindsets of leaders and managers that inadvertently drain teams. She will then arm you with a framework for energy management — the new secret weapon for sustaining peak performance without burning out the people who drive your results. Learn practical strategies to help your team sharpen focus, manage energy more intentionally, and build the habits that drive consistent, ambitious results without the burnout that so often derails them.

The Uncertainty Advantage: Finding Clarity When It Matters Most

The path forward isn’t always clear and yet decisions still have to be made, and the stakes have never felt higher. Competing priorities, evolving expectations, and constant change can make it difficult to know when to move forward and how. In this session, decision strategist Parul Somani introduces her Path of Least Regret® framework, a practical approach for making thoughtful decisions when the future is uncertain. Through stories, insights, and actionable tools, she will show how you can evaluate tradeoffs, reconnect with your core priorities, and move forward with confidence. You will leave with a practical framework to cut through the noise, make decisions with conviction, and never look back.

High Performance, Recharged: Thriving in the Energy Economy

Energy is the new currency in today’s workplace. Managers are navigating engagement and retention in new ways, while individual contributors balance shifting priorities and expanding responsibilities. Drawing on insights from the annual CFW Wellbeing Report, this session will explore how to rethink performance without running on empty in a workplace where capacity—not just time—is the constraint. A thought leader will give initial remarks to frame the data behind this shift, and will then be joined by a panel of professionals offering candid, actionable advice to recalibrate workloads, set clearer performance boundaries, and align expectations to prevent burnout while driving results. You will walk away empowered and ready to sustain performance and wellbeing in parallel—whether that means leading teams more effectively or advocating for the conditions they need to thrive.
