LEAD WELL: 5 Mindsets to Engage, Retain, and Inspire Your Team

Today’s leaders are navigating one of the most turbulent work landscapes in modern history. In the aftermath of the pandemic and amidst rapid technological transformation—including the acceleration of generative AI—teams are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress, burnout, and disengagement. Traditional management tactics no longer work. What’s needed now is a new model of leadership built for complexity, change, and human sustainability.

In this Career Ellevation Roundtable, Paula Davis—CEO and Founder of The Stress & Resilience Institute and bestselling author of Beating Burnout at Work—introduces the core insights from her new book Lead Well: 5 Mindsets to Engage, Retain, and Inspire Your Team. Drawing from extensive research and work with thousands of leaders across industries, Paula offers a holistic, actionable framework for future-proofing your leadership and unlocking the full potential of your team.

Through candid insights and practical strategies, Paula will explore why today’s challenges demand a mindset shift, how leaders can reduce counterproductive stress, and what it takes to create environments where people feel energized, supported, and motivated to contribute their best work.

This fireside-style conversation will help leaders at every level navigate uncertainty with clarity, empathy, and impact—proving that a more resilient and engaged workforce is not just possible but within reach.
