Resilience myths and realities
Because it IS a muscle we can grow, but that's not an excuse to keep piling more on...
And why you're so bloody tired!
Leading without losing your mind
Strategic disengagement, role modelling wellbeing as an 'excuse' to practice self-care, and JUST SIMPLY DOING LESS!
Not only how to not feel as tempted to walk away, but how to know when you actually SHOULD walk away.
Boundaries that actually help!
Not just physical and time boundaries, but emotional barriers and scripts to avoid always being the emotional dumping ground.
Leadership with balance
Vulnerability with respect.
Open door with boundaries.
Psychological safety with accountability.
Resilience with rest.
IS IT IMPOSSIBLE???
Leadership for those sinking (or swimming)
Get dumped into a leadership role with no more training than half an hour with the P&L?
Did you know that leadership and management aren't the same thing?
Do you know where / how you should be spending your limited time and energy?
Difficult decisions, stuck in the middle and ethical challenges
Our teams like to create a 'bad guy' when they don't get what they want.
How do we navigate impossible expectations, multiple of shades of grey, never having a 'right and wrong' any more, and the constant conflict between patient outcomes, customer care, staff engagement and our own wellbeing.

About Your facilitator
Dr Jessica Moore-Jones, BVMS, MBA, MSc
Dr Jess knows what it is like to make life and death decisions daily, to live with the emotional fallout in her teams, and front the public attention when it goes wrong.
As a senior leader in some of the country’s most scrutinised animal welfare organisations, she’s no stranger to impossible choices. From managing national systems, high profile cases, and teams falling apart, Dr Jess has been at the centre of high-stakes decisions that attract headlines, heat, and heartbreak.
She’s experienced what many leaders only talk about:
✔ Carrying the weight of a team on the edge
✔ Being the final decision-maker in moral grey zones
✔ Leading under constant scrutiny from the public, the press, and her own people
This is where Leading on Empty was born; not from theory, but from the lived experience of leading when it costs you something.
Having led some of the most emotionally draining organisations possible, in one of the highest risk professions in the world, Dr Jess gets it.
Today, she trains and advises leaders across high-pressure sectors, including healthcare, veterinary, government, education, and pharmaceutical organisations, on how to lead sustainably through emotional overload, decision fatigue, and impossible expectations.
Her approach blends:
-
Real-world leadership in emotionally loaded environments
-
Behavioural science and communication expertise
-
A no-BS coaching style that resonates with teams under strain
Dr Jess won’t offer vague platitudes or empty wellness strategies.
She’ll give your leaders practical, psychology-backed tools to lead when they’re tired, still care, and know that people are looking to them to hold it all together.
