The Performance Playbook got you here. It may also be burning you out.

You've done everything right. The credentials. The promotions. The results. And yet something is draining — quietly, steadily — beneath the surface of a career that looks like success from the outside.

This isn't a character flaw. It isn't weakness. It isn't burnout waiting to happen. It's what happens when a high-performing person carries too much weight for too long — weight the system placed on you, not weight you chose.

On April 12, we're gathering a small group of Bergen County executives for an honest conversation about what's actually happening — and a different way through.

  • A framework for understanding the difference between the Performance Playbook and the Providence Playbook — and why one sustains what the other burns through.
  • An introduction to Spiritual Fitness — the missing dimension alongside physical and mental fitness that research increasingly links to sustained executive performance.
  • A first look at the CAREFREE framework — eight subtractions drawn from ancient wisdom and modern leadership research.
  • Time and space — unhurried — to reflect, listen, and be heard. No pitch. No pressure.
  • You're succeeding professionally but something is quietly running dry underneath.
  • You find yourself recovering less from the same amount of rest.
  • You can't remember the last time you felt genuinely energized — not just productive.
  • You're good at performing. You're not sure you remember how to just be.
  • You're open to ancient wisdom, even if it arrives in unexpected forms.
