“There’s an urgent need to address the systematic drivers of burnout within organisations.” – Alex Panayotou
Burnout isn’t just about individuals being “too stressed” or “working too hard.” It’s often the result of broken systems and outdated workplace cultures. So why do companies keep getting it wrong, and what can be done about it? How can people build an Endurance Mindset?
In this powerful conversation, Alex Panayotou unpacks these questions with rare clarity and urgency. She is one of the few experts who addresses both burnout prevention and full recovery. This rare combination is a 360-approach, helping leaders and companies create systemic change – not quick fixes.
Known as The Endurance Mindset Expert, she embodies resilience and high performance. From completing 13 solo extreme running challenges, that only a few people have ever done (including an insane 400km non-stop run!) to overcoming cancer, she has walked (and run) the talk. Today, she brings that lived experience to the boardroom, helping leaders and teams build lasting strength and resilience.
In this conversation, Alex explores why “work-life balance” is a myth, how to reframe challenge as opportunity, and how to build the endurance mindset needed for sustainable success in today’s pressure-filled world. Her insights are bold and deeply human.
“Embrace challenges, and win from them” – start here.
