About the speaker:

Dr. Genie Burnett is a clinical psychologist, leadership development expert, and passionate advocate for mental resilience in the workplace. As the Founder and CEO of Manna Fund, Dr. Burnett has spent nearly two decades transforming lives through evidence-based mental health interventions, leadership training, and resilience-building strategies.

Dr. Burnett’s expertise extends beyond therapy rooms—she works with organizations to equip leaders with the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and communication skills necessary for fostering high-performing, psychologically safe workplaces. Her experience as a former elite gymnast taught her the power of resilience, a principle she has carried into her work, helping professionals navigate stress, prevent burnout, and cultivate strong leadership from within.

As HR professionals, we know that leadership is not just about strategy—it’s about people. Dr. Burnett’s work includes radio, podcast, and TV appearances on mental health issues, a child’s book on body acceptance, and her leadership series, “Would You Follow You?,” which provides actionable frameworks to develop leaders who can manage challenges with confidence, inspire teams, and drive organizational success. She often reminds us: "Healing and growth may feel hard, but you can do hard things."

She will share insights on how we can build leadership that is not only effective but also compassionate, adaptable, and mentally resilient.
