I care about people.<\/strong><\/p>

I believe in leadership that grows from the bottom up, I believe in taking initiative and responsibility to shape our life and work.<\/p>

Ever since I remember, I took a stance for what I cared about, even when it felt uncomfortable and unpopular.<\/p>

I’ve spoken, I’ve written, and I’ve dialogued on social issues and environmental impact with everyone who listened, and that road led me to become a journalist in one of the biggest daily newspapers in Israel. In my roles there, as a news editor, the opinion section editor, and the deputy of the Chief Editor, I had the freedom to highlight important social issues \u2013 but at some point, it wasn’t enough anymore. I wanted to do what I wrote about; I realized that actions speak louder than words.<\/p>

While moving for a year to Sweden with my husband and young kids, I enrolled in the Masters’ program\u00a0Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability<\/i>. When I came back, my life and work couldn’t be the same as they were before \u2013 there was no turning back from who I chose to be now.<\/p>

I founded\u00a0Be the Change<\/i> and teamed up with different leaders and changemakers to bring about social change, by guiding people in cultivating their leadership capacities for mobilizing change. I was (and still am) privileged to work with a diverse group of people: CEOs, activists, educators, entrepreneurs and students \u2013 all committed people with wonderful initiatives. Together, we made their vision into reality.<\/p>

Then one day, I had a routine, day-to-day conversation with a colleague. We spoke about our friends from the social change sphere, who care about everyone and everything else \u2013 but themselves. Sustainability practitioners who forget to sustain themselves and get burnt out.<\/strong><\/p>

I was curious to know why, and if there’s a way to prevent burnout that seems so common among changemakers and leaders. I’ve interviewed leaders from all over the world, coming from different sectors and backgrounds.<\/p>

Realization #1: Burnout is everywhere.<\/strong><\/p>

Realization #2: Burnout is preventable.<\/strong><\/p>

This journey yielded my first book,\u00a0Burning Out Won’t Get You There<\/i>, and our organization\u00a0Enkindle Global, <\/i>which\u00a0is dedicated to the mission of tackling the global epidemic of burnout.<\/p>

Since I’m trained in the Participatory Leadership approach, this methodology is embedded in everything that I do. When people ask me for a fixed formula to prevent burnout, I refuse to give it.<\/p>

I will help you, but we will do it together – if you want it to have a lasting impact.<\/strong><\/p>

Lastly, what you should know about me and you’re good to go:<\/p>

I never say “no” to coffee and a good conversation.<\/p>
