Managing Stress, Conquering Burnout, Igniting Leadership
Thursday, December 11, 2025 (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM) (EST)
Description
About the Event
Feeling stressed in today’s environment of rapid change and disruption? Is the pressure of the holidays and year-end deadlines beginning to affect you and your team? Does the pervasive burnout epidemic plague your organization? Have generic self-care and resilience training and efforts failed to improve your employees’ well-being?
The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence and the Iowa Quality Center and in cooperation with the Greater Rochester NY Quality Council — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, December 11: “Managing Stress, Conquering Burnout, Igniting Leadership.” This discussion will feature Terry Wu, Ph.D. and Neuroscientist, and Dr. David Pierce, Chief Medical Officer at Rochester (New York) General Hospital.
In this powerful (and timely) discussion, Dr. Wu will explore the interconnected relationship between leadership, stress management, and burnout prevention. His insights arrive at a crucial time, as organizations seek innovative solutions to employee disengagement, diminishing productivity, and high turnover. Through the lens of cutting-edge neuroscience research, Dr. Wu reveals science-proven practices for creating high-performing organizations, particularly during times of change. Leaders will emerge with robust skills to handle work and life stressors, not just for themselves but for their teams. They will gain high-impact tools to foster empowering environments and unlock the full potential of their workforce.
We will then hear from Dr. Pierce, who will share evidence-based strategies for reducing stress and increasing well-being but then also share ideas, tips, and tools that help him manage his personal stress. Dr. Pierce has a unique way of sharing what could be technical clinical information through his personal stories.
So, during this stressful time of year (and stressful period in history), come explore strategies and tools that will help you manage the stress and burnout of yourself, your team, and your organization.
