of the smart employers who have partnered with me for the wellbeing of their people
It’s challenging being a leader in today’s workforce…
You need your teams to be at their best do excellent work in this fast-paced, competitive environment.
Stressed staff are more disengaged and ineffective, take more leave, resign sooner, and increasingly, are making long and expensive stress claims via workers compensation.
And while this adds up to an imposing cost on your time, energy and finances, there’s more to it.
You are the kind of leader who wants your people to do well. You value wellbeing, for you, your clients, and your colleagues.
You won’t sit by and allow your teams suffer under your watch. And you know that it is possible to thrive at work, even under challenging circumstances.
But what to do?
Your options for greater wellbeing at work
It’s challenging to find a comprehensive, lasting solution to the problem of work-related stress and disengagement.
Encouraging your people to undertake more self care doesn’t work, no matter how well meaning it is.
If this solution was enough, there would be very little burnout.
The truth is, there are strong forces that work against us investing precious time, attention and energy into self care.
And encouraging wellbeing through massages, meetings and morning teas also isn’t enough.
And while urging your people to take their leave entitlements is helpful, returning from a holiday to a hectic work life is a slap that reminds your people of how little has really changed.

That is Substantial & Lasting?
Your people need to understand the forces around them and within them that drive burnout, so that they can make effective, individualised changes that last.
My Burnout Breakthrough workshops are designed to give your people a deep dive into the risk factors that cause burnout, as well as the strategies for stopping burnout that actually work.

Workshop Options
Burnout Breakthrough
(two hours or four hours, online or in person)
Know the factors that drive burnout and why it is so hard to stop. Learn the strategies that stop burnout and craft your own ‘Thriving at Work’ plan based on your needs.
Assertiveness for personal and professional success
(two hours or four hours, online or in person.)
Learn the true nature of assertiveness and the ways that you can become a reliable upholder of your personal rights (even if you fear saying ‘no’ or just can’t ask for what you want.)
Emotional power for peak performance
(two hours, online or in person.)
Find out the very latest research on how emotions are made, and what to do with them, especially when you are distressed. Emotional mastery can free you to make important changes (such as being more assertive) without feeling so blocked or afraid. Learn a great metaphor for managing emotions that you can easily teach to your clients and loved ones.
The Benefits of experiencing Burnout Breakthrough
- The strategies presented are comprehensive, evidence-based, insanely practical, and simple to adopt. Your people can start immediately.
- The workshop is lively and well-paced, providing opportunities for personal insights and activities that will kick-start your people’s ‘Thriving at Work’ strategy. They’ll really enjoy the experience.
- I offer all participants a 30-minute online session with me (at no extra cost to you or to them), after the workshop, to answer personal questions privately. Your people can use this private session to personalise the strategies to suit their individual needs. This means greater effectiveness.
- Your people will be invited to join a free online community that I attend daily with inspiration, wisdom, and answers to questions. Regular interaction with this ‘Thriving at Work’ material and ready answers as needed can substantially support your people to make their improvements last over time. This is more like a program than a mere workshop, at no extra cost to you. Your team is supported into the future!
Toni Knight presented her workshop on self-leadership and optimising resilience to avoid burnout to our team of allied health professionals. Toni is an energetic and engaging presenter. The information she presented in the workshop was relevant and provided us with practical strategies. Great workshop!

Toni delivered an exceptional 3-hour workshop focused on resilience-building and burnout prevention tailored specifically for our allied health professionals. With a profound understanding of the challenges they encounter, Toni engaged our staff with insightful strategies to manage their day-to-day workload effectively. Her presentation style was not only captivating but also equipped our team with practical tools. The positive impact was swift, with our staff already experiencing improvements in workload management. I highly recommend Toni's workshops as a transformative means to empower staff in self-care and resilience building.

Towards the end of 2023 I completed Burnout and Emotional Mastery sessions with Toni and a colleague. After the 5 sessions I was able to highlight a number of contributing factors of burnout, and particular strategies to support myself. ..As an OT, I can’t recommend Toni enough for her skill and experience in providing tangible resources to improve, in a demanding industry. Toni listens with complete empathy, understanding and created a safe space to discuss our experiences. Thank you again, Toni. These skills have equipped me for a long career ahead.

Why Work With Me?
I am a counsellor, hypnotherapist and presenter who has been supporting professionals to thrive in life and work for more than 20 years.
I am also one the very few specialists who guide professionals from burnout or stress to peak performance, using the best evidence-based tools in psychology.
Over the past five years I have developed a highly practical and evidence-based model for understanding and stopping burnout and compassion fatigue.
I have presented this model in workshops for Occupational Therapy Australia, other national organisations, numerous area health services and small enterprises, as well as to individual OTs.
People appreciate my practical approach - empowering you with useful tools, rather than repeating useless theories.
I am also writing the book, Burnout Breakthrough, which will be published in late 2025.
I'm curious...

FAQ's
Where are you based?
I live and work in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. I travel to present Burnout Breakthrough workshops in person. Or online if you prefer.
Isn’t four hours a long time for an online workshop?
Yes! I recommend doing two, two-hour workshops about two weeks apart, to make up the four hours. I typically present attendees a small challenge in between the workshops, to get the action habit started.
