The Cost of Coping: What High Performers Carry - And What It Costs Them

Shanelle Franklin
Speaker, Author & Podcaster
About This Session
We celebrate the people who hold everything together - the leaders who stay calm under pressure, the teams who keep delivering, and the people everyone relies on. But we rarely ask what that constant coping costs them. Through humour, storytelling and insights into human behaviour, Shanelle explores what happens when we carry too much for too long, why so many high performers quietly operate in survival mode, and what it takes to create more sustainable performance, stronger relationships and a more human way of working.
