Burnout Isn’t a Failure. It’s a Capacity Problem.

High performers are not burning out because they lack discipline, motivation, or resilience. They are burning out because the demands of modern work and life are outpacing their biological capacity to sustain them.

In this keynote, Registered Dietitian and performance expert Kait Richardson reframes burnout as a capacity issue, not a personal failing. Drawing on physiology, neuroscience, and real-world experience working with high-achieving professionals, Kait introduces The Human Capacity Framework, a practical, biology-based model that explains how fuel, regulation, and recovery determine our ability to perform, focus, and lead over time.

This talk goes beyond surface-level wellness advice. Attendees learn why trying harder eventually stops working, how chronic stress and underf ueling quietly erode performance, and what it actually takes to build sustainable energy in demanding roles. The result is not doing less, but building the capacity to do what matters without burning out.

This keynote is ideal for organizations that want healthier, more engaged, and more effective teams, without asking people to sacrifice themselves in the process.

High performing professionals want to bring their best to the workday, yet many spend their days battling afternoon crashes, scattered focus, and low energy. The solution is not more discipline or more caffeine. It starts with how you fuel your body.

In this keynote, I teach professionals how to use nutrition as a strategic advantage. When your body is properly fueled, your productivity rises, your focus sharpens, and your stress becomes easier to manage. This is not dieting. This is learning how to support your brain and metabolism so you can perform at a higher level with less effort.

I break down the nutrition habits that create consistent energy, stronger focus, and better decision making throughout the workday. Attendees will learn how to build balanced meals even with a busy schedule, how to reduce cravings that derail productivity, and how to create small shifts that improve their health and performance immediately.

Your team will walk away with:
• Practical strategies to maintain steady energy all day
• A simple approach to balancing blood sugar for better focus and fewer crashes
• Nutrition habits that support mental clarity, resilience, and stress management
• Tools for eating well in real work environments such as travel, meetings, and unpredictable schedules
• Confidence to make choices that support both health and career success

Perfect for organizations that want their people to feel energized, focused, and fully equipped to do their best work.

Women are leading at every level, yet many are doing it while running on low energy, high stress, and constant pressure to perform. In this keynote, I teach women how to create an energy advantage that elevates their leadership, strengthens their presence, and supports their long term health.

This talk reframes energy as a leadership skill. When women understand how to fuel their bodies, manage stress, and support their metabolism, they show up with more clarity, confidence, and capacity. I break down the science in a simple and relatable way so women walk away with practical tools they can use immediately in the workplace and at home.

Attendees will learn how to build steady energy throughout the day, avoid the classic afternoon crash, and nourish their brains for better decision making. They will understand the hidden connection between nutrition, stress, and performance, and they will leave knowing exactly how to support themselves during high pressure seasons.

Your audience will walk away with:
• A fresh mindset that positions energy as a strategic advantage
• Practical nutrition habits that strengthen focus and productivity
• Tools to reduce inflammation and stress related fatigue
• Strategies for staying energized through meetings, travel, and long workdays
• Confidence to lead with more presence, resilience, and clarity

This keynote is perfect for women in leadership, emerging leaders, and organizations that want their teams to feel energized, empowered, and fully capable of doing their best work.
