Burnout is an all-too-common struggle, especially for entrepreneurs trying to balance success with well-being. But what if the key to sustainable success isn’t working harder—but being more compassionate with yourself?

In this conversation, we explore:

✔️ How compassion can transform your approach to work and life

✔️ Practical ways to incorporate self-compassion into your daily routine

✔️ How to recognize early signs of burnout and take proactive steps

National Workplace Wellbeing Conference 2025

In this episode, we’re diving into a game-changing approach to sustainability in the workplace—one that doesn’t rely solely on executives or sustainability officers but instead empowers the unsung heroes within an organisation. Our guest, Dr. Aurora Dawn Benton, is the Founder and Chief Change Agent of Astrapto LLC, a company dedicated to making sustainability practical and accessible for those who may not have “sustainability” in their job title but have the power to drive real change.

Dr. Benton has worked with global organizations like Hilton, Hard Rock International, and the World Wildlife Fund, helping them engage employees at all levels in sustainability efforts. In this conversation, she shares her insights on why employees are the missing ingredient in most corporate sustainability programs, how to empower impact champions, and why engaging traditionally overlooked staff can be the key to lasting change.

If you’re passionate about making a difference in your organisation—or simply curious about how small shifts can create exponential impact—this episode is for you!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why most corporate sustainability programs overlook the most critical change agents—employees.
• How to recognise and support sustainability champions in any organization.
• The power of empowerment: what happens when people are given the tools and encouragement to drive change.
• Practical strategies to engage frontline staff and other often-overlooked employees in sustainability efforts.
• Lessons from Dr. Benton’s work with major brands in the hospitality and event industries.
• Insights from her new book, Exponential Impact: Harnessing Human Potential to Drive Sustainability in Organisations.
