Essence over engines:
From digital burnout to leadership brilliance
Why choose Essence Over Engines?
Let’s face it, the digital age has rolled out some pretty amazing technology.
Efficient. Productive. Cost-effective.
However, I discovered there is a price—an overloaded human nervous system. This quiet stressor is driving what I call digital burnout and it affects the labor market deeply.
The result?
Low retention
Emotional flat lines
Innovation drought
Quiet quitting
Wellness fatigue from programs that do not work
Determined to find a solution, I thought what if the solution isn’t more systems—but more soul? This birthed Essence Over Engines.
Essence Over Engines is a neuroscience-rooted, emotionally intelligent leadership method designed to regulate leaders’ nervous systems—so they naturally transmit stability, clarity, and purpose throughout their teams.
Scientific research has demonstrated the power of energy through leader’s and the effect on their teams:
Leaders’ morning mood directly influences team engagement for the rest of the day.
→ Positive emotional presence = higher productivity & morale
- LSE Business Review (2023).
High Emotional Intelligence (EI) in management leads to greater psychological safety, reduced burnout, and enhanced collaboration.
- Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies (2021).
A leader’s emotional presence directly fuels employee cognitive performance.
→ Without emotional energy at the top, employee focus drops significantly
- NIH Relational Energy Study (2023).
ROI and cost-advantages are big wins for people-minded companies.
Companies lose an average of $340 billion annually to disengagement and burnout (Gallup, 2023).
✳️ Teams led by emotionally regulated leaders are 22% more productive
✳️ Psychological safety increases retention by 27%
✳️ High-EI leadership cuts burnout-related sick leave by 40%
Essence Over Engines™ helps teams reclaim these losses by restoring the root source: healthy leadership nervous systems.
