Burnout Prevention Specialist | Generations Researcher | TEDx & International Keynote Speaker | She/Her | MSW, M.Div, PhD

Kristen Donnelly (MSW, M.Div, PhD) is an award winning, 4x TEDx speaker, and international speaker, researcher, and educator. She believes that burnout is a cultural condition and not an individual failing, and that asking more questions of each other can lead to stronger relationships of all kinds.

She is one of The Good Doctors of Abbey Research, COO of their parent company, and the co-author of the bestselling book "The Culture of Burnout: Why Your Exhaustion is Not Your Fault". Kristen is also an unapologetic nerd for stories of change wherever she finds them.

Kristen was recently named to the 2025 Who's Who list of notable Americans, and has also been nominated as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018. Through her passion for education and food equity, Kristen currently serves on three non-profit boards and has helped to create other non-profits in the past.

She also really, really loves baseball.

Kristen lives outside of Philadelphia with her husband, where they follow more sports than ESPN has alerts for and live surrounded by piles of books and several video game consoles.
