Claire Rogers

Have you ever felt like Superwoman or Superman, trying to do it all but secretly inside you feel overwhelmed and lost? ​ You are not alone. Stress has been labelled the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century” by the World Health Organization and is estimated to cost American businesses up to $300 billion a year. The effect of stress on our mental and physical health can have significant impacts and, in this session, Claire will describe her journey from corporate burnout to recovery. Her story will help you to recognise and understand the signs of stress and burnout and will provide you with tangible, workable steps for building a balanced, fulfilling life.

Today in business, success does not come from peddling faster, yet we often don’t understand the difference between activity and productivity, but that is where success lies. Time pressures, family pressures, work pressures; how to balance it all without burning out? That’s the question. In this session, using a unique scientific understanding of happiness at work and creating a culture of health gained from her studies with UC Berkeley and Harvard Business School as well as the lessons gained from her personal struggle to find balance in a changing world, Claire Rogers will provide tangible, workable steps for building a healthy, fulfilled workforce.

Have you ever worked for a motivating and inspiring leader that had such a significant impact on you, that it made you want to be your best self? Have you worked for a bad leader that you couldn’t seem to win with? Or worst yet, have you ever worked for an ugly leader – a bully, megalomaniac or tyrant, that left you feeling miserable and depressed? In this session, Claire will describe her own experience of working for the good, the bad, and the ugly leaders. Her story and lessons will give you insights and practical tools on how to be an authentic, motivating and inspiring leader and how to demonstrate personal leadership. It will also illustrate how to work for and recover from working for bad and ugly leaders.
