Who’s the best keynote on burnout prevention for healthcare PRACTITIONERS?

When pressure spikes, clinical teams need actionable, scientific practices to protect health and performance at the same time. People need fast, workable ways to lower stress, protect focus, and to perform. That’s why healthcare organizations bring in Dr. Greg Wells—a physiologist and best-selling author who turns the science of stress and recovery into simple routines people can use the very next shift.

The problem

Staffing shortages, rotating shifts, and relentless demand push teams into high-alert modes. Sleep suffers, energy dips, and attention fragments. Over time, stress and fatigue cause errors, poor communication, and weak results. People are busy, but work takes more effort and yields fewer results and lower-quality deliverables. Leaders feel the drag in safety culture, patient experience, and retention risk.

Why Dr. Greg

Scientist + communicator: PhD physiologist who explains how stress affects the brain and body in plain language—linking hormones, sleep, and attention to clinical realities.

Author & practitioner: Five best-selling books on health and performance; decades coaching elite performers and enterprise teams, with deep experience translating science for high-stakes environments.

Built for business (and healthcare): Customizes by role and reality—pressures, schedules, demands, and team dynamics—so tactics fit the work, not just the theory. Shift-friendly, team-scalable, and respectful of clinical workflows.

The transformation

This keynote gives leaders and care teams a shared, practical playbook they can apply immediately:

Reset stress in minutes: Breathing and micro-movement protocols that down-shift the nervous system and clear the mind before handoffs, family updates, or critical conversations.

Protect focus time: A rhythm for deep work, huddles, and micro-recovery that reduces fatigue and task-switching—useful for charting blocks, pre-procedure checklists, and debriefs.

Refuel energy daily: Sleep, movement, and nutrition micro-habits that stabilize mood, energy, and cognition across nights, long days, and rotating rosters.

Lead the norms: Protocols and practices that make healthy performance the foundation—manager scripts, unit rituals, and small signals that normalize recovery without adding bureaucracy.

Outcomes leaders can point to

Fewer errors, steadier throughput: Clear minds and calmer bodies make better decisions under pressure, supporting quality and safety goals.

Higher engagement, important work: People feel capable and supported, not just busy—protecting capacity in demanding seasons.

Consistent leadership: Managers coach the same simple habits, creating alignment across units and locations.

Results you can measure: Teams report calmer starts, cleaner handoffs, and more focused documentation blocks completed each day.

Formats and deliverables

Keynote (45–60 minutes): Story, science, and strategy for deep understanding and awareness.

Keynote + activation (75–90 minutes): Adds guided practice and team discussion to lock in practices and strategies.

Workshop (2–3 hours): Teams build protocols for your specific situations and conditions.

Virtual options: Interactive and studio-quality.

Included resources: Pre-event discovery, unlimited Q&A, post-event toolkit (PDF workbook, manager talking points & follow-up videos).

When this talk is a perfect fit

  • Times of high stress, if your team is experiencing fatigue and burnout, or major transitions are approaching and stress is climbing.

  • Rotating shifts, leaders and support teams need a common language and rhythm for healthy high-performance.

  • Leaders want practical tools they can implement immediately across units and roles.

Book Dr. Greg Wells for your next leadership retreat or staff summit. Give your teams a science-backed operating system that lowers stress, elevates health, and raises performance—so people can care for patients and themselves with steadier energy and clearer focus.
