Healthy high performance: a new way of working

Many companies today are asking the same question:

How can we maintain high performance without exhausting the people who make that performance possible?

And little by little, stress, overload and constant urgency start to feel… normal.

But when high performance relies on chronic stress, the consequences inevitably show up.

Workplace wellbeing is often treated as a “nice to have”.

In reality, it is a key driver of sustainable performance.

Through workplace wellbeing and productivity consulting, leadership development and practical training, I help companies build healthy high-performance environments where people can deliver great results without burning out.

The challenge companies face today

When performance comes at the cost of wellbeing

Many organisations operate under constant pressure.

Teams are expected to deliver more, move faster and adapt continuously.

In the short term, this can produce results.

But when stress becomes the engine of performance, the system eventually breaks down.

What initially looked like a productivity problem often turns out to be something deeper:

a workplace wellbeing and leadership challenge.

Hidden costs: burnout, absenteeism and disengagement

Ignoring workplace stress and emotional exhaustion has a direct impact on:

Burnout prevention in the workplace is not simply about protecting employees.

It is about protecting the long-term performance of the organisation itself.

Why traditional productivity approaches no longer work

Classic productivity advice often focuses on tools, processes or time management.

Those elements matter.

But they are not enough.

If stress levels remain high, people cannot think clearly, prioritise effectively or collaborate well.

Sustainable performance requires a broader perspective:

wellbeing, leadership and productivity working together.

The cost of doing nothing

When stress, overload and lack of focus become normalised, the impact is not always immediate.

But it is cumulative, silent and expensive — for both people and the organisation.

This is not about blaming individuals or teams.

It is about understanding what is really happening inside the organisation — and how much room there is to improve how work actually happens.

Some uncomfortable (but necessary) questions

Before looking outside for solutions, it can be useful to look inside.

For example:

These questions are not always easy.

But they are often the starting point for meaningful change.

Data that invites reflection

The reality of work today shows that workplace stress and disengagement are not isolated issues.

They are global trends affecting organisations across industries.

Workplace stress

The World Health Organization already described stress as “the health epidemic of the 21st century” in the decade of 2010.

Burnout

In 2019, the WHO officially recognised burnout as an occupational phenomenon, defining it as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

The current reality of work (Gallup State of the Global Workplace 2025)

40%

of people experience daily stress at work.

Beyond “this is just how work is”

Why stress and overload have become normalised

In many workplaces, constant urgency has become the default.

But being busy does not necessarily mean being productive.

And over time, this dynamic creates cognitive overload, fatigue and frustration.

Professionals start saying things like: “This is just how work is.”

But it doesn’t have to be.

The impact on productivity, focus and decision-making

When stress remains high for too long, the brain shifts into survival mode.

This has predictable consequences:

From the outside, this looks like a productivity issue.

In reality, it is often a stress and leadership issue.

The real cost for scaleups and growing companies

This challenge is particularly visible in scaleups and fast-growing companies.

Rapid growth creates exciting opportunities, but also new pressures:

Without conscious leadership and healthy ways of working, growth can easily turn into chronic overload.

That is why many organisations today are investing in workplace wellbeing strategies, leadership development and sustainable productivity practices.

The good news: sustainable high performance is possible

Wellbeing and productivity are not opposites

One of the most common misconceptions in organisations is the idea that wellbeing and performance compete with each other.

In reality, the opposite is true.

People perform at their best when they can:

This is what healthy high performance looks like.

What sustainable performance actually is

Sustainable high performance environments usually share a few key characteristics:

When these conditions exist, teams are able to achieve ambitious goals without relying on constant pressure.

Building sustainable high-performance teams

Creating these environments requires intentional work.

It involves aligning:

This is where workplace wellbeing and productivity consulting can make a meaningful difference.

Why work with me

My work is deeply shaped by both professional experience and personal insight.

Earlier in my career, I experienced chronic stress and burnout myself while working in demanding environments.

That experience led me to explore deeply how stress works and how we can prevent it.

Since then, I have dedicated my work to helping professionals and organisations build healthier and more sustainable ways of performing.

Experience across industries and international environments

Before becoming a consultant and coach, I worked in different industries and organisational contexts:

  • SMEs and multinational companies
  • fast-paced and resource-constrained environments
  • international and multicultural teams

 

This experience allows me to understand the real operational challenges teams face.

Professional (and personal) conviction

I firmly believe that creating sustainable work environments is not only necessary, but possible.

It’s not a utopia or a trend: it’s a matter of design, leadership, and shared responsibility.

My approach isn’t “just hang in there a little longer”, but rather “let’s work better to sustain performance over time”.

A practical approach to wellbeing, leadership and productivity

My approach combines:

  • workplace wellbeing
  • leadership development
  • productivity and ways of working

 

Rather than theoretical models, I focus on practical changes that improve daily work.

Testimonials from group activities

«We had the pleasure of having Dorit as a trainer during the workshop organised by IMA Spain. The workshop focused on the so-called Titanic effect, and I want to highlight her professionalism, clarity in conveying knowledge, and mastery of the subject. She had a very practical approach, and it undoubtedly benefited us both personally and professionally. I can recommend her to any organisation looking to offer quality training for its employees.»
Glòria Gratacòs-Cases
Technician in Administrative Management
«I attended a workshop organised by IMA Spain, an association I belong to, led by Dorit, called "Re-IMA-gine." I followed Dorit on LinkedIn, but hadn't had the chance to meet her in person. That's where we truly connect and see each other in real life. I loved her approachability and knowledge of the topic. Plus, the peaceful and calm energy she exuded was wonderful. Her confidence combined with her attentive listening helped us analyse our situations and identify areas for improvement. She's very professional, and I highly recommend her. I would definitely attend another workshop with Dorit.»

«When stress overwhelms us, it can become our worst enemy. Dorit emphasised the importance of self-care and being mindful of our bodies. To do this, we need to rest, disconnect, eat well, engage in physical activity, nurture our relationships, pursue hobbies, find something enjoyable, and especially plan and organise ourselves. With chaos in our lives, it's difficult to combat stress. Thank you, Dorit, for your effort in preparing this very useful and interesting course for our daily lives.»

«The accompaniment 'From stressed to serene and confident' has exceeded my expectations. Thanks to the programme I have been able to get out of the loop I was in professionally. I have learned new concepts and new techniques that I am applying in my daily life. From a constant and continuous blockage and stress in which I was immersed to being able to face my work days with renewed energy, would not have been possible without Dorit's help. It goes without saying that my well-being at work has an impact on my personal life and now everything is much more balanced. And I not only apply everything I learned in the workplace but also in my daily life. So I can only recommend the programme 100% to other people.»

«Having Dorit as a Coach has been instrumental in my growth as an entrepreneur. When I first started working with her, I lacked confidence and direction. Through her empathy and active listening, Dorit created a safe space for me to openly share my challenges and aspirations. She truly understood my perspective, which made me feel supported and valued. Dorit's powerful, thought-provoking questions helped me uncover limiting beliefs, think more strategically, and identify opportunities I hadn’t considered. With her guidance, I was able to design a clear and actionable plan tailored to my goals. She helped me to hold myself accountable, ensuring I followed through with the steps we outlined. As a result, I’ve gained the confidence, clarity, and resilience needed to navigate the entrepreneurial journey. I am grateful for such an amazing journey together!»

«At the end of each session with Dorit, I notice that something within me has changed. Thanks to the close, personal way in which she helps you discover the "whys" for yourself, you can reach conclusions you hadn't even considered. She helps you work on it through a detailed action plan and with motivation focused on change and progress. The questions she asks in the sessions are catalysts. She makes you reflect, question, and re-examine your beliefs, and you work with her from that point on. For me, Dorit and her sessions have been key to my personal and professional growth.»
