In a culture that glorifies busyness, this high-energy keynote challenges the belief that more effort equals better results. Peggy Sullivan introduces her research-
backed Performance by Design framework, showing leaders and teams how to escape time poverty, reclaim focus, and dramatically improve performance without burnout. Audiences learn why 94% of people feel overwhelmed—and how to break the cycle.

Today’s leaders are under pressure to deliver results while navigating constant change—but many are stuck in reactive, tactical work that erodes purpose and engagement. In this transformative keynote, Peggy reveals how purpose—not busyness—is the true driver of high performance, trust, and resilient leadership.
Using her Meaning Over Mayhem framework, Peggy helps leaders reconnect with their “why,” align teams around high-impact priorities, and lead with clarity and confidence—even in uncertainty.
