Anyone who has ever suffered from burnout knows how work turns into a drudgery, how success feels out of reach, how
self-esteem suffers, and hope diminishes.
Kindling employs data-driven assessments to identify the underlying sources of workplace burnout, helping organizations address root causes rather than symptoms, and ensuring more effective and long-lasting solutions.
You are in the right place if you’re a manager or executive director or board chair at a nonprofit and you’re struggling with low morale, low productivity, cynicism, exhaustion, or high employee turnover.
Burnout isn’t a buzzword, it’s a diagnosable syndrome backed by a significant body of research. And it presents in different ways depending on the nature of your work, the values of your team, and the culture of your organization.
Burnout acts like a disease: you need a complete diagnosis before you can figure out how to treat.
We have the tools to accurately diagnose how burnout is presenting in your organization. Since we live and breathe burnout research we can help you to make manageable but effective changes at work that will result in long lasting increases in engagement, productivity, retention.

Emily's expertise in burnout comes from both personal experience as a former executive director with stress-related health problems and from treating countless exhausted nonprofit workers in her private practice. Her ability to treat these patients has been limited because burnout is an organizational phenomenon and cannot be remedied through self-care. Often, these patients end up quitting their jobs at nonprofits to save their health—which is terrible for nonprofits, the people they help, and our communities as a whole.
Searching for a solution to this problem led to helping nonprofits to understand and manage burnout through workplace changes.
