The highest performers in your organization cannot keep this up.

Dr. KK Pinkowski helps professional organizations understand why their best people are running out of capacity — and what actually works to bring them back.

KK Pinkowski, D.Soc.Sc., JD, CPT

SPEAKER · RESEARCHER · FACILITATOR · FORMER LAWYER

A former practising lawyer, Dr. Pinkowski lost her career to a traumatic brain injury — and rebuilt it. During her recovery, she completed a doctorate in the social sciences studying the impact of rest neglect on high-functioning professionals.

She now brings that research — and that experience — into the rooms where it's needed most.

Organizations that have brought KK in include:

THE REST AUDIT

A short self-assessment that shows high-performing professionals exactly where their capacity is leaking — and what to address first. 12 questions. A few minutes. Free.

KK was amazing to work with. Her ability to keep all panelists on topic, while following the natural trajectory of the conversation, made her perfect for the role. She has a friendly and effortless presentation style that makes her a joy to listen to.

Denise Finlay-Jones

KK presented on The Absence of Rest in Legal Culture as part of a program focused on rest and sleep. She brought real insight and humour to a topic that can be difficult to get lawyers to engage with and grounded the conversation in evidence-based practices — which is what made the room take it seriously. I'd welcome her back without hesitation.
