Most people imagine sensory overload at work as something dramatic, someone covering their ears or storming out of a meeting.
The truth? It’s rarely that visible.
It’s subtle. Invisible. And deeply exhausting.
In this video, I share what sensory overload actually looks like, how it impacts focus and performance, and why leaders can’t afford to ignore it.
If you’ve ever felt drained by noise, lights, constant notifications, or chaotic environments, you’re not alone. And if you lead people, creating space for sensory needs doesn’t lower performance. It unlocks it.
I’d love to hear from you:
