From Burn-out to Buy-in

​Looking for an employee engagement and workplace culture keynote speaker who actually moves the needle? 

​

Burnout isn’t a buzzword—it’s a biological shutdown. Dr. Melissa Hughes brings the science of engagement to the stage with From Burn-Out to Buy-In: Brain-Based Strategies to Reignite Passion and Boost Performance. This is a game-changing keynote that diagnoses what's really happening in the brain when employees disengage and reveals exactly how to reverse it.

 

Because burnout isn't a buzzword. It's a brain crisis. And the same brain wired for burn-out could  wired for buy-in.

​

Built for HR and People Operations leaders, executives, mid-level managers, culture and engagement teams, and Learning & Development professionals, From Burn-Out to Buy-In unpacks the neuroscience behind quiet quitting, costly turnover, and flat engagement scores and replaces them with science-backed tools that drive measurable shifts in retention, performance, and culture. Attendees discover how dopamine, autonomy, and purpose drive intrinsic motivation, why belonging is biological (not just a perk), and how leaders shape the chemistry of their teams for better or for worse.

​

Every keynote is fully customized to your culture data, organizational goals, and the realities your people leaders are facing right now. Available as a 45, 60, or 90-minute keynote, all-hands address, or culture workshop, in person or virtually, for distributed teams and hybrid-friendly events.
