Kerry-Lyn Stanton-Downes on the Real Crisis We’re Ignoring: Relational Poverty

In a world obsessed with performance, data, and productivity, Kerry-Lyn Stanton-Downes is urging leaders to look somewhere far more human the space between us. In her forthcoming book Beyond Words, she challenges the dominant narrative of a “mental health crisis,” arguing that what we’re truly facing is a relational poverty epidemic. Drawing on two decades of work with leaders and teams across industries, Kerry-Lyn reveals how disconnection — not disorder — lies at the heart of burnout, anxiety, and disengagement.

- two accessible ways to bring back a sense of lightness
- how fun strengthens emotional regulation and presence

If you’ve been craving a bit more spark or aliveness in your day-to-day leadership, this one will speak to you.
