Our speakers on
burnout

The budget for a speaker on burnout generally ranges from €2,000 to €7,000 depending on their reputation, hands-on experience, and the level of customisation required. To refine the amount, consider the format (conference, workshop, round table), the time allocated for interaction with participants, and any potential travel expenses. An interactive or sector-specific talk may require a briefing beforehand, which can increase the cost slightly. Clearly discussing your objectives also helps avoid surprises in the quote.

A good speaker on burnout should understand the realities of your industry and roles. Look at their background: have they already worked with organisations similar to yours, or with audiences of managers, operational teams, or executives? Favour those who suggest a preparatory meeting: this ensures the talk will resonate with your context. Finally, consider which style will best fit your internal culture: personal testimony, educational approach, or a more interactive format.

For a seminar, the most effective format is often a one-hour participative conference, followed by a Q&A session with participants. This raises awareness across the group and then addresses practical questions from daily life. Practical workshops work better with smaller groups or teams already used to open discussion. Some organisers opt for a speaker-psychologist duo to provide different perspectives, depending on how mature the topic is within the company.

The most common mistake is choosing a talk that is too general or theoretical, which doesn’t reflect your teams’ real experiences. Many also underestimate the importance of a detailed briefing about sensitive internal situations: without this, the talk may miss the mark or even cause upset. Be wary of speakers who only offer a personal story, without the ability to broaden the discussion or provide tools relevant to your organisation.

An effective talk on burnout usually lasts between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on how much time is given to discussion. Beyond that, attention tends to drop, especially with sensitive topics. If you want to go further, consider adding a workshop or small-group Q&A session. For executive committees, short and impactful formats are best to raise awareness without overloading the agenda.

Yes, provided the talk is adapted. An experienced speaker on burnout knows how to distinguish between the challenges faced by managers (prevention, detection, listening skills) and those faced by employees (feelings, warning signs, support options). When the audience is mixed, it’s helpful to plan separate Q&A sessions or use concrete examples that speak to each level. This should be clarified in the briefing to avoid a one-size-fits-all message.

The impact of a speaker on burnout depends mainly on their ability to create a climate of trust: sharing real-life stories, direct interaction with the audience, and accurately reflecting your company’s specific issues. Feedback is best when the talk leads to concrete follow-up (workshops, resources, HR support). Ask the speaker for examples of actions implemented after their talks—this is a good indicator of their ability to make a lasting impression beyond the event itself.
