CHRO Circle Lunch: The Energy Game: A Science-Backed System to Recharge Without Pressing Pause on Life
Dr. Amantha Imber,
Organisational Psychologist, Best-Selling Author, and Founder, Inventium
Exhaustion has become the default setting. ""Crazy busy"" gets worn like a badge of honour. And somewhere along the way, running on empty became a personality trait.
The fixes we've been sold? A weekend retreat. A green smoothie. Yet another productivity hack from someone who clearly hasn't met your calendar. None of it touches the actual culprit: chronic depletion.
Dr Amantha Imber (organisational psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Inventium) is here to change that. Drawing on a study with 1300 exhausted humans who lifted their energy by 40 per cent in just five days, Amantha hands you a science-backed system for rebuilding energy in the middle of real life — not on top of it. No sabbaticals required. No retreats to Bali. Just evidence-based strategies that take five minutes or less, and actually work.
In this highly interactive keynote, attendees will identify their dominant Energy Type, learn how to manage the three energy accounts they've been bankrupting, and leave with a personalised plan to stop accepting tired as a baseline.
Same person. Completely different energy. ... Show More Show Less
