Booking a burnout keynote speaker in Vancouver

Burnout is no longer a wellness-week topic. It is a retention problem, a performance problem and, in plenty of Vancouver companies, the thing nobody says out loud at the offsite.

This post is for HR leads and planners weighing a burnout or resilience keynote for a Vancouver event.

Why this topic, why now

High performers do not burn out because they are weak. They burn out because the system they run on was never meant to run that long. A good burnout keynote names that plainly, without blaming the room or the company, and gives people something they can actually practise.

What a good burnout keynote covers

The useful ones share three traits:

- They are honest about the speaker's own experience. Theory alone does not land with a tired room. - They give the room a practice, not just a story. Something small enough to keep. - They respect the audience. No hype, no guilt, no before-and-after photos.

Dai's version

Dai's core idea is the 2% Solution: thirty minutes a day, fifteen moving, five still, ten reading. It is small on purpose, because small is what people keep. He has lived the topic: he has spoken openly about his own low points, including on the TEDx stage, and spent nearly thirty years coaching people back to health.

His resilience talks cover burnout in high performers, men's mental health, and habits that survive a bad week. The resilience speaker post goes deeper on what corporate teams should expect.

Booking local

Dai is based in Vancouver, so a Metro Vancouver event carries no travel costs. Keynotes start at $3,000 CAD. The cost guide breaks down what moves the fee, and the Vancouver booking guide covers timeline and the brief.
