How Healing Communities Drive Success
You want your company to thrive, but in today’s high-pressure world, even the most capable people are running on empty—juggling too much, sleeping too little, and bracing for the next crisis. Today, 80% of employees say that the workplace undermines their mental health. And when mental health suffers, work suffers: Conversations get strained, mistakes happen, burnout spreads like wildfire, and the best people leave.
Thankfully, many organizations have stepped up, offering robust mental health benefits and resources. But there's a disconnect: most people don’t use them. Why? Because saying “I’m not okay” still feels risky. People worry that reaching out will make them look weak or derail their career. Meanwhile, those who care hesitate to say something, for fear of saying the wrong thing, overstepping, or oversharing.
The result? We build programs—but not trust. We offer support—but people still suffer in silence.
In this relatable, provocative, and compelling speech, Dr. Carylynn Larson brings warmth, humor, and real-world insight to a conversation we can no longer avoid. With decades of research in workplace psychology and powerful storytelling, she offers a fresh framework for a future where people don’t just function—they flourish.
You’ll walk away with Dr. Larson’s “Recipe for a Healing Community”—a three-part blueprint to:
✔️ Shift from surviving to thriving
✔️ Build human-centered, high-performing teams
✔️ Create a culture of care that fuels well-being
Break|Through will rewire your thinking and give you actionable tools—along with the confidence to use them. You’ll laugh, reflect, and experience the power of connection. If you're ready to lead the way in creating communities that foster true well-being, this talk is for you.
