We can’t create more time – but we can elevate our energy. Understanding that is the first step to increasing our capacity – personally and professionally – to build momentum and keep up with daily demands without succumbing to exhaustion. “People who fall short of their goals rarely run out of time or talent – they run out of energy,” says Suneel Gupta. As founding CEO of RISE (now part of Amazon), Suneel helped thousands overcome challenges with physical and mental health. Now, he’s committed to bringing a sustainable solution to the energy crisis at work. Grounded in his exclusive teachings at Harvard Medical School as well as over a decade of studying the work habits of extraordinary leaders, Suneel delivers insights about the “why” and “how-to’s” of strategic energy management – showing people practical ways to unleash momentum crucial to performance, innovation, collaboration, and overall well-being.
Sample takeaways tailored for each audience:
Leadership has changed. To get things done and drive bottom-line results, leaders must embrace a striking truth: they don’t just impact people’s work, but their overall health and well-being. Leaders who understand how physical, mental, and emotional health drives business performance will build trust, become magnets for exceptional talent, and elevate overall productivity.
More than ever before, people are struggling to find meaning in their work. In this talk, Suneel Gupta helps people reset, reignite, and re-engage through a timeless practice called Dharma. Simply put, Dharma brings “who you are” and “what you do” into alignment. When we’re not aligned, we become exhausted, depleted, and burned out. When we are aligned, we feel creative, energized, and lit up.
For groups looking to go deeper, Suneel offers highly engaging, interactive sessions that extend the keynote’s momentum and turn insights into action. These can be delivered as a post-keynote workshop (ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours) or as a longer-term leadership development series offered virtually and/or in-person. Content is customized based on the group’s objectives, with a core focus on helping foster personal and organizational growth.
As the founding CEO of RISE, one of the most influential wellness apps in the U.S., Suneel Gupta helped thousands of people create sustainable habits for life and work. Today, as a bestselling author, Harvard Medical School visiting scholar, and global keynote speaker, Suneel’s mission has evolved: to help individuals and organizations reset, reignite, and rediscover meaning by strengthening emotional resilience and engagement.
Suneel’s core question underpins his work:
“How can an organization excel on the outside if its people are exhausted on the inside?”
He challenges outdated models of productivity and teaches a research-backed approach to sustainable performance—one rooted in renewal, energy, purpose, and well-being.
A high-energy showcase of Suneel Gupta’s core teachings on purpose, performance and personal momentum, revealing how individuals and organisations build resilience and achieve meaningful success.
In this speaker reel, Suneel Gupta introduces the central themes that define his work: building sustainable performance, strengthening personal momentum and reconnecting individuals with a sense of purpose. He begins by challenging traditional ideas around burnout, motivation and success, arguing that high performers often struggle not because they lack drive, but because they lack renewal. Success, he explains, depends on a disciplined balance between energy output and energy restoration.
Suneel highlights research from his bestselling book Backable, sharing insights on how great innovators persuade others without authority. He shows that “being backable” is not about charisma, but about framing ideas around conviction, storytelling and authentic purpose. Throughout the reel, he blends personal stories with organisational case studies that demonstrate how small behavioural shifts create significant performance gains in workplaces.
He discusses the concept of “micro-habits” that build momentum and reduce stress, noting that modern workers are often overwhelmed by constant change. Restoring momentum, he says, starts with redefining daily practices, setting boundaries and reconnecting with the work that matters most. Suneel also underscores the role of belonging as a driver of performance, explaining that environments built on empathy and psychological safety consistently outperform those built on pressure alone.
The reel captures clips from his keynote stages, illustrating his ability to translate behavioural science into practical tools for leaders. Through humour, clarity and research-backed insights, Suneel shows how teams can perform at a high level without sacrificing well-being. By the end, the viewer sees a cohesive picture of his message: sustainable performance comes from a foundation of purpose, presence and meaningful connection to others.
