The Road to Happiness and Fulfilment

Is Your Team Burning Out or Burning Bright?

You’ve seen it: your people working harder but getting less done. Energy fades. Focus slips. Morale dips… I’ve seen it too.

Hi, I’m Serban, an engineer turned speaker on a mission to help companies reignite the energy, clarity, and resilience their teams need to perform at their best. After 20 years in the high-pressure tech industry, I know how easy it is for stress to take over, quietly draining motivation, fueling disengagement, and putting your top talent at risk of walking out the door.

If you’ve started noticing that happening in your organization, I can help.

Through impactful and interactive keynotes or workshops, you’ll give your team the tools to reset before burnout turns into turnover.

Imagine your people walking out of the room energized, not drained, able to spot burnout before it spreads, refocus under pressure, and turn stress into meaningful progress and success.

They’ll leave with practical strategies for managing their energy, setting boundaries that stick, and building the resilience they need to stay engaged, perform at their best, and keep burning bright long after the session ends.

Is that what your team needs right now? Let’s connect.

Harnessing the Power of a Growth Mindset

Shift Your Mindset, Shift Your Results: Unlocking Growth in the Face of Setbacks

When adversity hits with tight deadlines, failed projects, and missed goals, it’s easy for even the best teams to get stuck in frustration, fear, or doubt. But the most resilient teams don’t crumble under pressure—they adapt, grow, and come back stronger. This session gives your people the mindset and tools to do precisely that. They’ll learn how to reframe challenges as opportunities to improve, replace the fear of failure with the courage to try again, and shift their thinking from “I can’t” to “I can learn.” Along the way, they’ll discover simple ways to stay energized and focused, even when the pressure is high, so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and the resilience to keep growing no matter what comes next.

Building a Strong Life Foundation

Give Your People an Actionable Framework to Stay Grounded and Move Forward with Purpose

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose your footing, overwhelmed by what’s urgent, distracted by what’s next, or stuck questioning what matters. But lasting success isn’t built on hustle alone. It’s built on a strong personal foundation that helps you stay clear, focused, and resilient when life and work get messy.

This session introduces your team to the Four Pillars of a Strong Life Foundation: Perception, Planning, Progress, and Perspective. It shows them how to use these pillars to confidently navigate stress, setbacks, and uncertainty.

They’ll explore how to manage the way they see challenges (Perception), make smarter choices about where to focus their time and energy (Planning), build momentum through small, meaningful steps (Progress), and shift how they interpret the highs and lows of work and life (Perspective).

What Other Have to Say

Speaker Intro

What happens when chasing success starts costing you your health, energy, and purpose? Serban knows because he’s lived it.

After nearly 20 years in the high-pressure semiconductor industry, leading global teams and million-dollar projects, burnout nearly took him out. But instead of staying stuck, he made a shift applying the same problem-solving mindset he used in engineering to rebuild his life.

That journey took him from exhaustion to achievement—running marathons, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and reigniting his career with clarity and purpose.

Today, Serban helps organizations do the same—showing teams how to spot burnout before it takes hold, reset their energy, and keep burning bright in work and life.
