ANTIBURNOUT.ORG™ was born out of passion fueled by Laura & Gabriel Bennett's deep experience with and concern for burnout in our society, especially in professionals whose charge it is to care for and safeguard others. Their desire is for everyone to be well, grow, and enjoy their work, families, and lives. They have a strong connection to healthcare providers, first responders, military, and law professionals. These professionals are in crisis. ANTIBURNOUT.ORG™ exists to build capacity and adaptive solutions for well-being at work and organization sustainability. What has gotten us to this place will not get us where we need to be.

We empower people with knowledge and skills to move forward and lead better. This is critical work! This is how we create a large ripple-effect to change the world for the better.

Laura Bennett
has been dedicated to understanding and alleviating burnout, first in herself, then others for over 10 years. As a naval leader and healthcare provider, she served in a state of perpetual adaptation to new environments and change. Laura overcame multiple challenges, traumatic experiences, and crises, innovating along the way to create opportunities to support her colleagues and patients. She suffered severe burnout. After rising out of burnout and achieving post-traumatic growth, she developed deep insight and compassion for others experiencing burnout, their families, and their colleagues. Laura developed science-based resiliency programs founded in mindfulness and meditation while serving in the military, first for healthcare staff, then for soldiers, sailors, and Marines in crisis. Upon her retirement from the Navy in 2016, she continued bringing resiliency programs to healthcare and expanded her reach into businesses, first response, non-profits, and communities. Realizing that resiliency work for individuals and groups is not enough to create change in burnout, she began to provide leadership development, coaching, and organizational consulting. |

Gabriel Bennett
grew up in a military household navigating the challenges of the associated demands including frequent moves, eight school changes with different curricula, integrating into Asian cultures, perpetual movement of his friends to new locations, and having to make new friends. He was displaced due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Disaster. Gabriel felt the effects of his mother's burnout and trauma experiences and saw the improvement burnout research had on her. He developed a strong desire to master well-being. He learned to love and cherish the outdoors and went on to teach Leave No Trace, survival skills, and wilderness resiliency to at-risk youth in the Rocky Mountains. Gabriel's work with at-risk youth and as an Emergency Medical Technician gave him experience around the effects of trauma, fueling his desire to have a positive impact in first responder well-being. Gabriel is currently completing a dual major in Leadership and Community Engagement and Sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Through his education and training he is focusing on improving first-responder burnout and resiliency. |
We care deeply about
Context of Work The context that a person works in is a major factor in burnout. Addressing burnout needs to be organization specific. Organizations need to plan for what Simon Sinek calls the Infinite Game when preventing and dealing with the organizational factors of burnout.

Leadership DevelopmentLeadership is a major influence in burnout in organizations. Leaders need to be equipped with knowledge about the causes and impact of burnout as well as antiburnout skills. Leaders need 360 feedback on their impact to help them stay on target for desired outcomes.
