Beating Burnout in the Age of AI: The Human Approach to Smarter Work

​

In today’s hyper-connected world, employees are overwhelmed, leaders are overstretched, and organizations are paying the price in lost focus, engagement, and innovation. Burnout has become a silent productivity killer—one that no amount of time management "hacks" can fix.
 

In this transformative keynote (and an optional accompanying workshop), Melisa draws from her Fortune 100 Human Resources background and years as a productivity and organizing expert to uncover a critical truth: we don’t have a time problem—we have an attention problem. Through powerful storytelling, practical insights, and real-world examples, she reveals how AI, constant connectivity, and digital clutter have redefined how we work—and how to thrive in this new landscape.
 

Attendees will learn how to:
✅ Reclaim focus and energy in a world of constant distraction

✅ Use AI intentionally to streamline work without sacrificing human connection

✅ Identify the hidden costs of digital and mental clutter on performance

✅ Create systems that support sustainable productivity and personal well-being
 

By the end of this session, participants will walk away with an actionable framework for working with more clarity, balance, and purpose—both inside and outside the workplace. 

Because the future of work doesn’t belong to those who hustle harder—it belongs to those who focus smarter.
