  • 215: Burnout, Success and The Wellness Paradox with Amy Green
    Jun 25 2026

    Joining me on The Debra Shepherd Podcast is Amy Green.

    Amy is a futurist for work and life who has spent over a decade challenging the stories leaders, teams, and organisations tell themselves about success, productivity, and performance, and what it actually costs them.

    With a background in teaching and leadership, and experience drawn from face-to-face conversations with over a thousand educators and corporate leaders across Australia, Amy doesn't just talk about the future of work, she helps people design their way into it. Her keynotes and workshops have shifted the thinking of leaders at every level, from staff and teams to executive leaders, leaving audiences not just inspired but genuinely seeing differently.

    Amy is a bestselling author, with her latest book being The Wellness Paradox, and she is the host of the Rethinking Success Podcast.

    In this episode, Amy shares her story. We talk about burnout, success, and Amy's book, The Wellness Paradox.
