Why the Old Work-Life Balance Model is Failing Us

Breaking the Cycle: Why Working Harder Won’t Accelerate Your Success
Women are often told that success comes from working harder, pushing further, and taking on more. But the real problem is the assumption that progress must come at the cost of wellbeing, relationships, or fulfilment. In this keynote, Anna Lundberg challenges the myth that busyness equals impact, explores why traditional career advice is failing women, and reveals the real drivers of sustainable success. Expect powerful insights, actionable strategies, and inspiration to accelerate your career - without burnout or personal sacrifice.

Why the 9 to 5 Model No Longer Works (And What Comes Next)
For decades, success has been defined by climbing the corporate ladder, working longer hours, and making personal sacrifices.
