Programs
Every Brightwork engagement is company-sponsored, burst-format, and measured — not motivational. Not sure yet? Start with Detect, a two-week read. Otherwise start with data (the audit) or start with a day (the workshop). Both lead to the same place: the twelve-week cohort where your leaders build the system that keeps their teams from burning out — and present it to you.
The programs
Live online course
Four live Zoom sessions for busy professionals who are new to AI. You'll build your first AI teammates and get hours of busywork off your plate every week. For individuals, so no company sponsor needed.

One anonymous, research-grade survey across the teams you're watching, read back in a 60-minute executive readout: where the risk sits and whether it's worth doing more. The full $2,500 credits toward Diagnose or Activate started within 90 days.
$2,500, fixed
Full program details →Diagnose
Survey, confidential listening sessions, and a full-day Findings Session where your leadership team turns the results into a 90-day action plan. Ends when the plan is handed to you. Know where you're actually leaking — before the exit interviews tell you too late.
from $8,500
Full program details →Activate
The full audit and Findings Session, then six bi-weekly sessions across the ninety days where Faye leads your leadership team through running the plan. Ends when the plan has run.
$14,000
Full program details →Workshop
One day with the people who design the load: the early signals, the three-question audit run live, and a kill-list that takes real work off real plates before the room leaves. Built for offsites and kickoffs.
$7,500
Full program details →Develop
A single-company cohort of up to twelve people-leaders who learn to run teams that don't burn out, starting with their own load — closing with each leader's operating plan presented to senior leadership.
$48,000 per cohort · up to 12 leaders
Full program details →Develop · open enrollment
The same 12-week program with seats sponsored by multiple companies — ideal when you have one to three leaders who need this now, with a cross-company peer network built in.
$5,500 per seat
Full program details →Expand: Alumni Circle. After any cohort, a quarterly masterclass and a facilitated peer circle for program alumni, so the learning keeps widening and there is always a room to bring the hard question to. $6,000 per company per year, all program alumni · $1,500 per seat for open-cohort alumni.

Detect, Diagnose or Activate?
Each step includes the one before it, and whatever you spend on the first step counts toward the next one.
| Program | The question it answers | What's included | How long | Ends when | Investment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DetectThe Two-week Burnout Read | Is there a problem, and where? | Anonymous survey (Oldenburg Burnout Inventory), risk read by team, 60-minute executive readout, 2-page summary | 2 weeks | The readout is done | $2,500, fixed |
| DiagnoseThe Burnout & Retention Audit | Why, and what do we do about it? | Everything in Detect, plus confidential listening sessions and a full-day Findings Session that builds your 90-day plan | 3-4 weeks | The plan is handed to your team | from $8,500 |
| ActivateThe 90-day Implementation | Will it actually get done? | Everything in Diagnose, plus 6 bi-weekly sessions leading the plan and a day-90 reread of the signals | 12-16 weeks | The plan has run | $14,000 |
The full Detect fee counts toward Diagnose or Activate if you start within 90 days, and the Diagnose fee counts toward Activate the same way. Not sure where to start? Book a 30-minute conversation and we'll tell you honestly.
Where to start
An honest sorting guide. If none of these fit, the right answer might be nothing yet — we'll tell you that too.
Start with the audit. When a resignation "surprised everyone," the surprise is the problem: it means the risk is invisible to you. The audit makes it visible, team by team, with priorities attached. Not sure it's that serious yet? Detect answers that question in two weeks for $2,500. Want the plan led, not just handed over? That's Activate.
The Burnout & Retention Audit →Start with the workshop. One day gets your whole leadership team a shared language, the retention math run on your numbers, and commitments they chose themselves.
The Quiet Burnout workshop →Take open-enrollment seats. The full flagship program without needing to fill a cohort of twelve — and your leaders build alongside peers from other companies.
Open enrollment →Before you decide
