Janice Elsley, a global award-winning leadership expert, has launched groundbreaking programs that combine neuroscience, Human Design, wellness, and AI to tackle burnout and transform work culture. Her approach redefines leadership, offering innovative solutions for today’s challenges in leadership, employee retention, and organizational transformation.

Australia, November 25, 2025 -- Australia is facing a leadership meltdown. Burnout is skyrocketing, workplace culture is breaking down, and leaders across industries are stepping away from roles at alarming rates. From corporate boardrooms to frontline teams, organisations are struggling to hold onto talent and stabilise performance.

In response to this national crisis, global award-winning leadership strategist and international author Janice Elsley has launched a groundbreaking suite of leadership programs that integrate neuroscience, Human Design, wellness science, and AI capability, a world-first model reshaping how Australia develops leaders.

Elsley, one of the first 30 people globally to complete a postgraduate qualification in the Neuroscience of Leadership, says the crisis is far worse than CEOs realise, and traditional leadership training is no longer enough.

“Burnout isn’t a workload problem , it’s a leadership problem. What we’re seeing now is a full collapse in energy, clarity, and emotional capacity at the top,” Elsley warns.
“Leaders need a new operating system. Not more KPIs , but the brain science, behavioural insight, energetic alignment, and AI literacy to lead in a world that’s moving too fast for outdated methods. The traditional leadership system is collapsing, and we need a completely new approach.”

Recent data confirms the urgency:

• Burnout is costing Australian businesses $14+ billion annually
• 39% of employees are planning to leave their job within 12 months
• Women are exiting leadership roles at the highest rate in a decade
• Organisations are failing to meet psychological safety requirements
• Leaders admit they feel “overwhelmed” navigating AI disruption

Elsley’s newly launched programs aim to address the root causes by rewiring leadership from the inside out.
