We live in a working world that treats exhaustion as evidence of commitment. Busyness has become a badge of honour, yet it comes with a quiet cost to our clarity, relationships and mental health. In
this talk, Clinical Psychologist and Mental Health Coach Lauren Davis explores the hidden psychology that keeps people across all levels trapped in constant action, the impact this has on the brain and
on everyday functioning, and why “doing more” often narrows the mental bandwidth needed for real productivity and healthy relationships.
Blending clinical insight with real examples from organisational life, Lauren offers a practical and more sustainable way forward. She shows how individuals and teams can shift from reactive busyness to meaningful focus, model healthier ways of working, and create cultures where people don’t need to burn out to belong.
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a slow erosion that starts with small signals we often overlook. This topic offers leaders and teams the tools to spot early signs of burnout, develop resilience, and move beyond burnout into a thriving, sustainable way of working. It’s about empowering people not just to survive, but flourish.
Leaders set the tone for the whole organisation. This topic focuses on leadership mental health as the foundation for a mentally healthy workplace. When leaders prioritise their own well-being, they are better equipped to create environments where teams can thrive and sustain long-term success. Explore the connection between leadership mental health and organisational culture, performance, and well-being.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
