Reclaim: Intentionality Over Productivity 

"The most dangerous career threat isn't failure — it's succeeding on someone else's terms."

Speaker: Akanksha Bansal

Key Focus Areas:
💡 Why now: Cognitive overload and context-switching have overtaken workload as the primary burnout drivers; disengagement risk rose 23% in 2025 — employees are dimmed, not broken.
💡This session reframes productivity — not as doing more, but as doing what matters with full presence and alignment.
💡Participants will identify where their energy is leaking, what success actually looks like for them, and how to build momentum from the inside out.
