HIGH PERFORMANCE

without the burnout

We help ambitious leaders take back control, build healthier teams, and drive lasting results.

As Seen In

The Problem

Leadership burnout and team breakdown aren’t caused by personal shortcomings.
 They emerge when capable leaders are stretched thin by systems that prioritize urgency over alignment, output over reflection, and constant motion over clarity.

But it’s rarely just the system — and it’s rarely just the individual.

Sustainable change requires both personal growth and systemic shifts.

Leaders need to build the awareness and capacity to lead differently, and organizations need to create environments that support that leadership.

The Impact of Leadership Burnout and Dysfunctional Team Dynamics:

Here’s what happens when they go unaddressed:

Executives lose energy, clarity, and perspective — making it harder to lead with vision and resilience.

Teams struggle to communicate and collaborate — leading to silos, mistrust, and stalled progress.

Culture erodes — and when that happens, it’s felt across the organization. Employees suffer, problems multiply, and the bottom line takes the hit.

The Solution

We leverage neuroscience and trauma-informed care to help leaders and teams shift the behaviors that drive real change, improving decision-making, deepening trust, and accelerating outcomes across the organization.

When we do this, we…

Strengthen leadership capacity
Helping leaders respond — not react — under pressure, and make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Transform organizational culture from the inside out
So well-being, accountability, and performance aren’t at odds — they reinforce each other.

Create aligned, high-performing teams
By establishing shared norms and communication practices that reduce friction and foster trust.

This is what we call…

Work Bigger, Lead Better

We combine customized, individualized and team coaching with scalable, organization-wide solutions — so leaders at every level can grow, and culture shifts can take root across the entire company.

  • “Work Bigger helped me get very clear about my values and priorities, lay out my options, face my fears and take bold steps towards my dream.”

    Cora Neumann, Founder of Global First Ladies Alliance, Montana State Senator

  • “Working with Belma has been a true pleasure and life changing. I have been able to shift my mindset. This has helped my wellbeing as a new leader of a large team. Expecting perfection when leading a team of this size is an unattainable goal it sets unrealistic expectations for the team and myself. Realizing this and actually living it has really allowed me to feel and show up as a more patient and calm leader. T his process has been an awakening for me- to look back to where I was just six months ago to now I can’t believe the difference in how I feel, think and act. I’ve truly been able to accomplish my goals, even the ones I never thought I could overcome.”

    Tracy V., Human Resources, Chanel
