Supporting People Before They Burn Out

Burnout isn't a personal failure.

It’s what happens when people keep showing up, even when the system no longer supports them.

It’s what happens when people keep giving their best in environments that notice mistakes faster than humanity.

It's what happens when people become invisible inside systems and protocols.

My work helps organisations slow down enough to notice the individuals within them, not as problems to manage, but as people to understand.

I advocate for humane, proportionate responses that protect wellbeing, dignity, and sustainability at work.

Speaking Engagements

Preventive Wellbeing Consultant. With over 20 years’ experience in education, Marsha Kerr Talley brings relatability and wisdom shaped by lived experience of burnout and recovery.

A passionate and engaging speaker, her work brings energy, movement, and presence into the room. Talks are grounded and relatable, shaped by real-world experience and supported by relevant, up-to-date insight.

Rather than speaking at audiences, sessions are conversational and participatory. Space is created for reflection, shared understanding, and moments of connection that allow people to recognise themselves in the conversation.

Speaking engagements often sit alongside carefully curated visuals, music, and colour—creating an atmosphere that feels alive and immersive rather than instructional. When the subject matters deeply, that energy carries, bringing clarity, warmth, and momentum into the room.
