Subira Jones

Subira Jones is a Burnout Prevention Consultant, Lifestyle strategist and founder of MPWRD Consulting.

The root cause of Burnout is being overwhelmed and feeling like you have no agency in your life, all areas of your life, not just at work.

To empower someone is to give them the authority or power to do something; make them stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.

MPWRD, pronounced empowered, supports individuals take back their personal power, so they can have the Freedom, Authority and Power to create a lifestyle conducive to their health and wellbeing. A life Free of Burnout.

Early into her career as an investment reporting analyst, she was diagnosed with a chronic condition as a result of consecutive burnouts over a period of 4 years.

After making the decision to resign, The Corporate Hippie retrained as a certified holistic health practitioner and life coach, with the vision to help talented professionals avoid burnout and debilitating work stress illnesses.

During her career break, she created MPWRD Living: The Burnout Free Lifestyle. This framework ended the burnout cycle and put her chronic condition diagnosis into remission without medical intervention.

On a mission to support thousands of professionals live free of burnout, Subira shares, her experience, lessons, unique insights, and framework to help equip and inspire your audience and employees, through storytelling and workshops.

From Burnout to MPWRD: Begin Your Burnout Free Journey

If there were a pageant for Burnout, Subira would have been crowned Queen every year from 2015 where she completed her economics degree with her mum in a coma, until her final burnout in 2019 where she was diagnosed with a chronic condition.

Resigning from the Investment industry and creating the MPWRD Living: The Burnout Free Lifestyle framework, she broke the cycle of burnout and put the condition into remission without medication.

Subira will share her unique approach to burnout prevention and offer 3 top tips, to inspire your employees to begin their own burnout free lifestyle.

Stop Coping, Start Managing; Why Resilience is Killing You:

Coping with stress is knowing how to swim and managing stress is knowing how to surf. Life is an ocean not a swimming pool.

Understanding the difference between coping and managing stress is paramount in preventing burnout.

When the consultant diagnosed her with Multiple Sclerosis, a condition exacerbated by stress, Subira was confronted with the truth that the stress management techniques she had learnt were ineffective and the resilience that enabled her to succeed through trauma had done her more harm than good.

The wellbeing market is inundated with experts promoting resilience sessions and stress management, providing short term strategies and not long-term solutions.

In this talk Subira will share her unique approach to burnout prevention and the top 3 tips to get you started on your own preventative lifestyle so you can experience sustainable success in both personally and professionally.

Take Back Your Personal Power – The 5 C’s to Personal Boundaries

After years of feeling like she had no control of her own life, from trying to fulfil familial expectations to functioning through trauma, Subira spent years existing and surviving, but never truly living.

Being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis was the wakeup call she needed to give herself permission to take back her personal power and create a life that was conducive to her health and wellbeing. A life free of debilitating symptoms and burnout.

In this talk Subira will take your clients on her journey from powerless to empowered and how they can do the same thing with the result of reducing feelings of powerlessness, being overwhelmed, and ultimately preventing burnout.

“The Corporate Hippie’s knowledge, insight and approach to employee wellbeing was so refreshing. She shared her unique method and an introduction to the concept of burnout prevention, which was truly inspiring and completely flawless, whilst hitting the nail right on the head. We look forward to working with her again in the future. If anyone is serious about wellbeing within their organisation, I highly recommend The Corporate Hippie, she is a amazing and you will not be disappointed”  Channel 4

“The Corporate Hippie helped deliver a wonderfully insightful and impactful training on ethnic allyship at Macquarie last autumn. The Corporate Hippie connected easily with our people while introducing and walking through sometimes-difficult concepts around privilege, structural racism and microaggressions. The training was fun, interactive, and got our people highly engaged and thinking critically about racial diversity and their own behaviours. I would recommend The Corporate Hippie to other corporate D&I and employee network group stakeholders looking to bring on an energetic and engaged trainer on these very timely issues with subject matter expertise.” Macquarie Group

“The Corporate Hippie has a natural facilitation style and is able to connect with her audience effortlessly, receiving positive feedback and engagement (all the more difficult to achieve virtually as opposed to face-to-face). I would recommend her as a facilitator without reservation – she was a pleasure to work with.”  C-suite Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Leader

“The Corporate Hippie has been facilitating our Ethnicity Allies workshops with great feedback. Would recommend her to bring to life any workshops you are planning, particularly around mental health, ethnicity or coaching for burn out. All very relevant during this current climate.”  Founder of SPM Group

“The Corporate Hippie gave a fantastic presentation as part of an expert panel on EDI. Her willingness to talk clearly and openly about her own lived experiences was truly inspiring. Her knowledge, authenticity and relatable delivery style ensured her messages packed a powerful punch.” Fitch Ratings

“Thank you very much for a very detailed and insightful session into your personal experiences! I felt very inspired (and a little emotional) as a listener. I will definitely try and apply some of your useful tips to my everyday lifestyle to try and reduce anxiety.” Data Analyst at UnitBirwelco

“The Corporate Hippie was invited to speak to a group of Management students. Her presentation was engaging, inspirational and connected with the audience – quite difficult to do via Zoom. The students and I, could relate to aspects of her journey and I took a lot away from her presentation. However, some aspects of her journey connected on a more personal and emotional level – I am in awe of her strength! It would be difficult to sit through The Corporate Hippie's presentation and not be motivated into re-focusing, re-evaluating and appreciating your life.”  Swansea University

“The Corporate Hippie jointly ran a webinar with Counterculture Network a couple of weeks ago. Thank you Subira. Your presentation on Burnout Prevention was inspiring and so relevant to everyday women. Your story was authentic and clearly delivered from a place of strength. You offered great tips that our audience were able to take away and begin implementing straight away. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for giving your time and so much of yourself to our network and look forward to hosting you again.”  Founder Counter-Col Network

“Thanks again for speaking at our event earlier! The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, in particular the way you so clearly set out the different kinds of microaggressions and the fantastic role-reversal video you showed. To highlight a few specific quotes:

• “thank you Subira – really informative and insightful!”
• “it’s great to know the right terminology to express/communicate our experiences”
• “this session should be compulsory”

Thank you for all your preparation and for delivering such a great session (despite a sore throat!). I think you struck a great balance between what you specialise in and making the content specific to the needs of the audience.”  Deloitte
