When Executives Burn Out, the Entire Business Feels It
Today’s leaders are managing more than quarterly targets, they’re navigating teen mental health crises, blended families, and the emotional fallout of modern parenting.
Traditional therapy is too slow.
Coaching is often too surface-level.
EAPs are under-utilized, outdated, and built for volume, not leaders.
And all the while, performance expectations haven’t budged.

1 in 2 feel unequipped to support their teen’s emotional needs.
