How Women in STEM Can Lead Without Burning Out
Led by: Amy Loden Tiffany, MD
Thursday, January 22, 2025
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET
About the Session
In STEM leadership, precision, high standards, and attention to detail are essential—but when those traits tip into perfectionism, they can quietly undermine confidence, health, and innovation. For many high-achieving women, the drive to excel comes with a hidden cost: burnout, stalled creativity, and the feeling that success is never quite enough.
In this engaging and science-backed session, Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany will help you recognize the perfectionist patterns that keep you overworked and unsatisfied, understand why high performers—especially women in STEM—are more vulnerable to chronic stress, and adopt practical strategies to lead with both excellence and ease. You’ll discover how to shift from all-or-nothing thinking to steady, sustainable growth that fuels both your career and your well-being.
Attendees will walk away with:
- Clear ways to identify perfectionist habits that sabotage performance, leadership, and fulfillment – Insight into the health and relationship costs of unchecked high-achieving patterns
- A powerful mindset shift to replace rigidity with resilience and flow
- The science behind perfectionism, chronic stress, and burnout in STEM leaders
- A simple, repeatable framework to create a personalized success plan that honors both ambition and self-care
Whether you’re guiding a research team, leading a complex project, or breaking new ground in your field, this session will equip you to transform perfectionism from a pressure trap into a pathway to lasting fulfillment and success.
