Topic: The Hidden Cost of Running on Empty!

Burnout, Leadership, and Keeping Your Best People

Burnout does not just wear people out. It walks out the door with them. For agency owners, the real cost of leadership fatigue and employee burnout shows up in turnover, lost production, and a culture that quietly loses good people. Shannon Howard gives agency owners and leaders a practical, honest look at what burnout actually costs a business and what sustainable leadership looks like in the real world. Attendees leave with clear, actionable strategies for protecting their own energy, supporting their teams, and building agencies where people want to stay.
