HEALthy hustle: how high-achieving teams innovate

EDGEWOOD TAHOE RESORT, THE LODGE BALLROOM - STATELINE, NV | MARCH 6, 2025

In March 2025, the serene beauty of Lake Tahoe set the stage for a dynamic workshop that struck at the heart of modern leadership: how do we pursue high performance without burning out?

“Healthy Hustle: How High-Achieving Teams Innovate” brought together ambitious leaders and change-makers for an honest, energizing conversation on what it really takes to succeed — sustainably. Hosted at the stunning Edgewood Tahoe Resort, the experience blended strategic insight with grounded, human-centered leadership practices.

At the helm of the event was Tutti Taygerly, executive coach, speaker, and former Silicon Valley design leader. Tutti has spent decades guiding fast-paced teams at companies like Facebook and IDEO. Her approach merges deep emotional intelligence with sharp business acumen — and she didn’t hold back. Through personal stories, science-backed insights, and a dose of humor, she challenged the myth of the “always-on” leader and introduced a healthier, more effective path forward.

Key takeaways from this game-changing workshop included:

Giving yourself permission to set bold, expansive goals — without the guilt.
Managing energy and time strategically to fuel creativity and avoid burnout.
Tools for engaging in productive conflict, especially with difficult personalities.
Concrete experiments to immediately apply the principles of healthy hustle in your team and leadership practice.

From heartfelt reflections to practical frameworks, the day was packed with lightbulb moments and real-time breakthroughs. Attendees walked away recharged, refocused, and ready to lead with more impact — and less overwhelm.

This wasn't just another leadership talk. It was a reset. A shift. A necessary pause to build something better.

Missed it? Don’t make that mistake twice.
