Why always being on doesn't work—and what does.

Pim Pelser - Keynote speaker

Always on, always going – it seems to be the norm. But at what price?

We live in a time where performance equals success, the bar is constantly being raised, and rest is almost suspect. The result: high workloads, less focus, rising absenteeism, and talent that is losing its job.

I know what it's like to be on that treadmill. I was addicted to pressure myself – until my body pulled the emergency brake in 2017 with a brain hemorrhage. That moment forced me to rethink work, life, and what's truly important.

In this keynote, I'll share my personal story, as well as the model I developed to help people and organizations kick their pressure addiction. It's a practical and inspiring approach that shows that rest isn't a luxury, but a prerequisite for sustainable growth.

For whom?

  • Entrepreneurs, managers, and team leaders
  • HR professionals and operational management
  • Anyone who feels: it's too much – but it has to change

What you'll discover:

  • How to reduce workload without sacrificing results
  • How to achieve sustainable growth with more peace and focus
  • How to prevent absenteeism by consciously managing behavior
  • How to work more effectively and creatively – precisely by slowing down

Why book?

"Pressure Addicted" is a keynote that resonates and provides direction. Based on my personal story and a clear model, I'll take you to a different way of working and living. Confrontational, human, and empowering.

You'll go home with insight, recognition, and concrete tools. For more peace. More energy. And an organization that dares to make choices.
