Passion burnout: What happens when doing what you love is hurting you? (Webinar)
Date: 17 Oct 2024
During a glittering AFL football career filled with individual and team success, fame and a $7 million fortune, Tom Boyd went through the most difficult time of his life at 22 years old, suffering severe insomnia, depression and anxiety that forced him to the sidelines.
This was the start of a new perspective, one that meant the traditional measures of success no longer motivated him.
In this keynote, Tom shares the tools and strategies he used to overcome the biggest challenges of his life. Learn how to proactively manage your mental health, and how to turn your struggles into strengths.

About Tom Boyd
Tom Boyd was the country's best young talent coming through the junior ranks, which had many in the public believe he could single-handedly change the fortunes and success of his club for many years to come.
This was a lot for a young man who had just finished his Year 12 studies to carry. Selected with pick one of the 2013 AFL Draft, by the GWS Giants, who were in the infancy of their existence, Tom realised at a very early stage of his days in the AFL that this career may not be what he had hoped.
In July 2019, Tom made the decision to walk away from his AFL career, one which he thought would have spanned for many years. With 2 years and $2million to run on the contract he had signed with the Western Bulldogs, Tom knew that if he was to achieve happiness in life, this course of action was required. Now, Tom shares his story in hope of shifting the conversation and having a positive impact on people's lives.
What's a Webinar?
A Webinar is a seminar that's conducted over the internet.
Viewers watch a remote presentation on their own screens at a set broadcast time and can participate by typing and submitting questions they would like answered by the presenter.
Our Webinars are recorded and a copy is sent out to every registrant by default. So if you aren't able to watch the Webinar live at the scheduled time, you don't need to do anything - we'll send you a copy you can watch at your own pace on your own screen.
Why Webinars work
You'll learn at a time that suits you
If you can't join us at the scheduled time, we will automatically send you a recording you can watch at your own pace.
You can ask your burning questions
Our Webinars include a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15 minute interactive Q&A session where you'll call the shots. You do so by typing your questions during the Webinar.
You don't need an IT degree
There's no complicated software involved. You just need a reliable internet connection to participate. We'll email you instructions at each step too. Simple!
