At a Glance

Career and life design coach specialising in burnout recovery
Author of Burnt Out, a guide to thriving in a fast-paced world
Creator of frameworks for sustainable work practices

Selina Barker is a career and life design coach and author who specialises in helping individuals and organisations move beyond burnout to build sustainable, fulfilling work lives. For nearly twenty years, Selina has worked with professionals who feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from their purpose. She has coached clients from Google, Apple, and UN Women, as well as best-selling authors and leaders across tech, finance, and creative industries. Selina wrote Burnt Out: the exhausted person's six-step guide to thriving in a fast-paced world, published in 2021 and translated into multiple languages. She created the Audible original series The Career Change Coach and founded the Project You journals. Her work has appeared in The Telegraph, Independent, Sunday Times Style, BBC, and Stylist. Selina helps people identify what drains their energy and what restores it, then guides them to redesign their work accordingly. She uses practical frameworks like the Five Energy Zones and Burnout Archetypes to help clients understand their patterns and create personalised strategies for lasting change. Her approach turns abstract concepts about wellbeing into concrete actions people can implement immediately, whether they're navigating career transitions, managing stress, or rebuilding after exhaustion. Audiences leave Selina's sessions with specific tools they can use straight away: clarity about their burnout triggers, a personal action plan for protecting their energy, and frameworks for making decisions that align with what truly matters to them. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on practical application rather than theory. Book Selina to give your team the frameworks and confidence they need to stop running on empty and start thriving at work.

Managing Stress In A Fast-Paced World

Selina Barker brings her unique approach to stress management, reframing stress not as an enemy but as a signal to better understand your needs. Drawing on her two decades of coaching experience, she unpacks how stress affects your daily life, common triggers, and the unhelpful patterns it creates. Selina’s fresh perspective empowers attendees with actionable strategies to handle stress and maintain balance, even in demanding environments.

Break Free From Burnout

Selina Barker addresses the growing problem of workplace burnout and the hidden patterns that lead people to run on empty. Drawing on insights from her book Burnt Out, she explores why modern working cultures push people beyond their limits and how individuals can recognise the early warning signs. Blending practical tools with reflective exercises, Selina helps audiences understand their personal burnout triggers and develop realistic strategies for restoring energy and long-term resilience.

Designing A Life You Love

This empowering session inspires attendees to take charge and design a life where they can truly thrive.

Unlocking Your Five Energy Zones

Selina Barker introduces her Five Energy Zones framework, a practical system for understanding how personal energy is gained, drained, and restored. Many professionals focus on productivity while overlooking the deeper drivers of performance and wellbeing. Selina guides audiences through the key zones that influence energy and engagement, helping them identify where they are depleted and where they can recharge. Participants discover practical ways to protect their energy and sustain focus, creativity, and motivation.

What’s Your Burnout Archetype

Selina Barker explores the different ways people experience burnout and why understanding these patterns is key to preventing it. Using her Burnout Archetypes framework, she reveals common profiles such as over givers, over thinkers, over doers, and over achievers. Through guided reflection and practical insights, Selina helps audiences recognise their own tendencies and develop personalised strategies for healthier boundaries, sustainable productivity, and long term wellbeing at work.
