Momentum: Being All In Without Burning Out

In the face of an exhaustion epidemic, it’s time to rethink how we view high performance. Grit and hustle have their place short term. But over time, they are scientifically associated with burnout.

Purpose in Action: Bringing Who You Are to Everything You Do

More than ever before, people are struggling to find meaning in their work. In this talk, Suneel Gupta helps people reset, reignite, and re-engage through a timeless practice called Dharma. Simply put, Dharma brings “who you are” and “what you do” into alignment. When we’re not aligned, we become exhausted, depleted, and burnt out. When we are aligned, we feel creative, energized, and lit up. We’re able to produce our best work and lead ourselves and others effectively, experiencing true joy along the way.

Suneel first learned the practice of Dharma from his grandfather on a porch in New Delhi. Years later, when he felt lost, exhausted, and struggled to find meaning in his work, he returned to the playbook his ancestors left behind. Even more, he related it to today’s fast-paced, changing world of work.

Suneel shares deeply personal stories of how he found a path back to purpose and joy and how others have done the same. By the end, you’ll be inspired with actionable tools to re-engage in your work and life with a renewed sense of vigor and meaning.

Key Takeaways:

• Rediscover your “essence” and express that through your work.
• Be “all in” without being “always on.”
• Find comfort in the most uncomfortable of situations.
• Deal with failure and use it as a pathway to success.
• Find yourself by losing yourself through leading and uplifting others.
• Blur the lines between work and play to reach your highest potential.
• Forge ahead and take decisive action, even in the face of uncertainty.
