SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Like a Wave We Break: Overcoming Burnout to Lead with Resilience and Alignment featuring Jane Chen
DESCRIPTION:Like a Wave We Break: Overcoming Burnout to Lead with Resilience and Alignment featuring Jane Chen\nA Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nIn her national bestselling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break\, leadership coach Jane Chen pulls back the curtain on the conventional narrative of professional success. As the co-founder and former CEO of Embrace Global\, Jane’s groundbreaking work with a portable incubator impacted over one million premature babies across 25 countries\, earning international acclaim. Yet\, behind the global recognition lay an invisible crisis: a relentless pursuit of purpose that ultimately resulted in total burnout. Her journey through that breakdown and subsequent healing reshaped her entire approach to what it means to guide others through uncertainty and change. \nMany modern leaders find themselves trapped in a similar cycle\, treating leadership as a purely intellectual or strategic exercise while ignoring the immense emotional and physical toll it takes. This disconnect leads to unmanaged stress\, reactive decision-making\, and organizational fatigue. \nThis webinar offers a masterclass in shifting from fear-based performance to sustainable\, aligned leadership. Drawing from her executive background and her training with the Conscious Leadership Group\, Jane bridges the gap between high-level leadership strategy and deep self-actualization. Participants will analyze how the intersection of emotional literacy and physical intuition can transform executive paralysis into clear\, decisive action. Whether you are an executive steering a team through a major pivot or an individual seeking to align your daily work with your core values\, this session provides a science-backed\, deeply human blueprint for resilient leadership. \nAbout the Author: \nJane Chen is an internationally acclaimed inventor\, national bestselling author\, and leadership coach who helps leaders and teams build the emotional intelligence\, self-awareness\, and resilience needed to navigate rapid uncertainty and change. She is the co-founder and former CEO of Embrace Global\, an acclaimed social enterprise whose groundbreaking portable incubator has helped impact over one million premature babies across 25 countries. \nJane’s approach to leadership is deeply shaped by her own profound journey through burnout and healing\, which she chronicles in her national bestselling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break. Today\, she helps organizations cultivate the core capacities that make leadership sustainable\, focusing on emotional resilience\, self-compassion\, and grounded clarity. Her work has been featured extensively in The New York Times\, Forbe
