CPA Trends Forum - VIRTUAL

Anna Stumpf, Leadership Coach - Collective Energy

Burnout doesn't always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like Jen, the overachiever turned bottleneck. Or Marcus, the steady performer who's quietly disengaging. Or Priya, a rising star buried in work that should be automated.

In this data-backed session, you'll explore the trends fueling CPA burnout today -- compressed seasons, AI disruption, staffing shortages -- and the systemic shifts that can either relieve the pressure or make it worse.

Walk away with:

• A better understanding of burnout's root causes (beyond just "long hours")
• A framework for recognizing early burnout signals in your team
• Research-informed strategies for boosting resilience and preserving productivity
