Health and Wellness

12-Feb-2026
In this high-impact session at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Neha Sangwan reframes burnout not as weakness, but as a systemic signal leaders must learn to interpret early.
Drawing on research, medical experience, and executive coaching, Sangwan introduces a practical framework built around “me, we, world” and the concept of energy as a leadership metric. The session explores how burnout develops gradually, how high performers are often the most vulnerable, and why leadership regulation determines organizational culture.
Rather than offering surface-level wellness tactics, this talk provides a diagnostic model for identifying energy drains, strengthening feedback loops, and aligning decision-making with values in high-volatility environments.
Key Takeaways:
• Burnout is a slope driven by ignored signals, not a sudden collapse.
• Leaders must regulate themselves to create cultures of truth and trust.
• In an AI-driven world, clarity of internal signal is a strategic advantage.
