Charlène Giselle takes us on a profound journey from high-powered litigation at Jones Day to becoming a pioneering burnout prevention specialist after witnessing her father suffer a heart attack driven by work stress. This transformative experience completely reshaped her definition of leadership from "achieving the most success" to "surviving your success" – a perspective shift that resonates deeply with legal professionals caught in the hamster wheel of constant achievement.

We explore how attorneys often treat work as an addictive "substance", chasing status and adrenaline at the expense of health and relationships. Charlène explains why burnout is especially dangerous in law, where high achievers often miss the warning signs until it's too late.

Charlène applies elite athlete training to law, introducing "periodization", cycles of performance and recovery, to help achieve peak performance without burnout, challenging the profession's nonstop work culture.

Charlène shares practical ways to break cycles by engaging in activities outside the analytical mind, like cooking, gardening, cars, or sports, that reduce anxiety and build lasting wellness.
