High performance isn’t the problem. Burnout is.

Most organizations push for peak results, but few have cracked the code for sustaining them without draining their people. That’s where the conversation is shifting — and why this meetup matters now more than ever.

Culture Amp recently released its Science of Sustainable High Performance report — a groundbreaking study that goes beyond metrics to reveal the cultural and behavioral patterns that make performance last. In this collaborative session, we’ll unpack these insights (and a few others) and explore what they mean for today’s workplaces.

This isn’t a panel. It’s not a workshop. It’s a conversation with tacos in hand, hosted by Paula Tett, LA Culture First Lead, facilitated by Neha Agrawal, Sustainable Performance Chapter Lead, and joined by Jessie Jacob, Culture First Community Manager (Extraordinaire) at Culture Amp.

What We’ll Explore:

💡 The Conditions for Lasting High Performance
Why only a small percentage of employees sustain high performance over multiple cycles — and how you can create the environment for more people to thrive.

🌀 Behaviors Over Traits
How high performance is less about “born talent” and more about specific, repeatable actions.

📈 From Pressure to Resilience
Shifting the performance conversation from “do more” to “last longer” — without sacrificing results.

🤝 Collaboration & Connection
How peer relationships and shared purpose fuel sustainable output.

💬 Challenging Our Assumptions
Where current performance models fall short — and what’s working in real teams right now.

🔥 What Are We Missing?
Bring your challenges, your questions, and your success stories to share with the group.

✨ This Won’t Just Be Theory — You’ll:

• Engage in breakout discussions for deeper dives into real workplace challenges.

• Brainstorm with peers using carefully designed prompts.

• Share strategies and test your own assumptions in a collaborative, low-stakes space.

This is for you if you’re wondering:

• How can we maintain high performance without burning people out?

• What does the research actually say about performance culture?

• How do we turn insights into habits that stick?

• Where are the untapped opportunities to make high performance more human?

Bring your curiosity, questions, and lived experiences. You’ll walk away with practical ideas to apply right away, fresh conversation starters for your org, and new peer connections to continue the dialogue.
