Training program

Burnout-Proof Leadership

This training program is designed to help organizations equip their leadership teams with cognitive endurance and stress management strategies to maintain high performance in demanding environments.

About the coach

Yanina Lebedeva, PhD

With over 15 years in psychology, leadership, and training, I have dedicated the last year to profound research on burnout, conducting coaching sessions and psychological counseling specifically on this topic. I also designed and led a specialized burnout recovery program, Burnout First Aid for Managers, which successfully concluded in December 2024.

My approach is grounded in science-backed strategies that not only help leaders and employees regain their energy but also equip organizations with sustainable methods to enhance resilience and maintain peak performance.

The real impact of my work is reflected in the results of my clients, whose transformations and experiences can be viewed on my Instagram.
