Sereen’s participation highlighted the importance of moving beyond a culture of constant endurance toward more sustainable practices grounded in emotional awareness, clarity, and more human-centered work systems, supporting both individual wellbeing and sustainable performance.

The session also provided an opportunity for meaningful dialogue and the exchange of perspectives on the relationship between leadership, wellbeing, and the ability to sustain performance in demanding professional environments.

At the conclusion of the discussion, Sereen Abu Mizer expressed her appreciation to the organizers and fellow panelists for creating such a meaningful space for dialogue, emphasizing that leadership begins when we listen—before we deplete.
