The myth of doing it all (and what to do instead) | Suzanne Knight | TEDxEtobicoke

Описание: We live in a world that tells us to juggle harder—at work, at home, and in life. Suzanne Knight, a transformation leader and mother of three, found herself racing down a snowy highway, late, overwhelmed, and on the edge of breaking.

What changed everything wasn’t learning to do more, but learning to do differently. In this talk, Suzanne reveals how applying the principles of agility—the same tools she uses to drive billion-dollar corporate transformations—helped her move from burnout to balance.

Her message challenges the myth of “doing it all” and offers a practical, hopeful roadmap for anyone struggling with overwhelm. True freedom, she shows, comes not from juggling every ball, but from focusing on what matters most. Suzanne Knight, MBA, MA is an award-winning expert on transformational change and the future of work. CEO and founder of mBolden human capital consulting firm, Suzanne works with organizations around the world helping them anticipate and adapt to change so they can thrive, rather than just survive. Through her own firm and nearly a decade at Deloitte, Suzanne worked with over 40 clients in 12 countries. Beyond her consulting work, Suzanne is an active angel investor with The Firehood, start-up advisor, and tech founder. She previously spent 5 years with Walmart Canada as Vice President, Transformational Service with a 100,000+ employee portfolio and Philip Morris International leading organization transformation and change for Canada.
