94% of leaders are experiencing burnout 

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or depleted? You're not alone. 2024 research shows that 94% of nonprofit leaders are experiencing burnout. High staff burnout levels  increase the risk of turnover by 48%. Losing one staff member stranslates to a $13,500 re-hire cost. Other business sectors are experiencing similar burnout levels and costs.

When leaders cultivate resilience and thriving, they inspire their teams to do the same. This ripple effect positively impacts the overall health and performance of the organization.

our programs reframe burnout to thriving

I focus on building your capacity to live la buena vida because that's what Thrivers do. 

My Ph.D. research revealed that "thrivers"  strengthened six “muscle groups” that allowed them to respond more proactively to life’s challenges, and to remain on purpose, conserve energy and focus, and persist. These business individuals and leaders were also happier, healthier, and felt that they were living “la buena vida.” This pattern became our Windhorse Vitality Model.

what leaders are saying About our resilience programs

"I really appreciated Sheila Armitage's breakout, Resilience Workout: Building Your Leadership Muscles. I thought it was well paced, grounded in data, and had a lot of practical tips while still being inspirational and it got me thinking in a new way."
Non-profit leader at Elevate 23, Nonprofit Leadership Alliance
"The tips I didn't even know I needed! We've been in a VERY high-stress season at work, and with 2 toddlers at home, I've been feeling the tension both physically and mentally. 2 changes I've put into effect this week: walking for 20 minutes outside during my lunch break, and journaling 3x a week before bed instead of doom-scrolling on my phone. Being intentional about prioritizing these "time-swaps" has already been beneficial. Thank you for these amazing insights!"
