KeyNote

The (self-) care Change Agents need – how to sustain those our planet and people need? Change agent burnout is a thing that is depleting many of us through being in a system that is highly resistant to positive change. Opposed to classical burnout it is not a lack of purpose but burning for a cause. This phenomenon is observed in activists as well as in organisations and can lead to a massive decline in productivity and disconnection. A natural storyteller Santa compellingly explores the pathways change agents can take to develop an antifragile mindset and steps to take to prevent and tackle burnout and feel optimism and momentum making this world a better place. Organisations enjoy Santa’s positive and scientific approach, and in-depth knowledge of the science of well-being, neuroscience, productivity as well as applied sustainability.
