From Burnout to Breakthrough: Nick Jonsson Inspires Founders in Amsterdam with a New Model of Leadership

On July 8th, the Amsterdam Founders Club welcomed a powerful and timely message from international speaker and Holistic Leadership advocate, Nick Jonsson. In his transformative 50-minute workshop, titled “From Burnout to Breakthrough: 5 Founder Habits to Scale Without Losing Yourself,” Nick shared hard-earned lessons from the edge of burnout — and the five foundational habits that helped him rise stronger, more purpose-driven, and deeply connected.

In a world obsessed with output and "always-on" culture, burnout has become a silent epidemic among professionals—and especially among those at the top. Burnout quietly erodes creativity, energy, and leadership presence. But resilient, self-aware leaders outperform their peers—some dramatically.

On 29 May 2025, Mauritius witnessed a truly transformational leadership experience as business leaders from some of the leading companies in the country gathered for a full-day session led by international speaker and executive coach Nick Jonsson.

Across industries, organizations are struggling to engage their best people, especially rising stars and senior performers who demand more than just a paycheck. They want purpose, growth, and leadership they can trust.

Success isn’t just about having the right strategy, tools, or technology—it’s about having the right people, aligned and empowered to lead. Yet, even the most capable teams can falter when faced with stress, change, or lack of clarity. That’s why companies serious about performance are turning to transformational leadership workshops and trainings
