Book IWD Speaker: Shuktika Bose

Clinical psychologist helping women reclaim agency & prevent workplace burnout

Shuktika Bose is a Clinical Psychologist, Mental Health Consultant and keynote speaker who helps women prevent burnout and reclaim agency in high-pressure workplaces. Blending psychology, neuroscience, and powerful storytelling, she equips audiences with practical tools to strengthen boundaries, make confident decisions and lead with clarity under pressure.

In environments where doing more is rewarded and exhaustion is normalised, Shuktika challenges the cultural script.

She introduces a science-backed framework for doing less, better: focusing on high-impact work, protecting cognitive bandwidth and reducing chronic stress.

Her sessions unpack the systemic and psychological drivers of overload - including invisible labour and nervous system strain - and provide immediately usable strategies to support resilient, high-quality performance.

A regular national television contributor with a background in university teaching, Shuktika is trusted by corporate, government and L&D teams to bring intellectual rigour and real-world relevance to complex workplace challenges.

Aligned with IWD’s 2026 #GiveToGain focus, her talks explore what women and organisations gain when clarity, psychological safety and sustainable expectations are prioritised.

Audiences leave with:

• Practical boundary language that protects both relationships and performance

• Nervous-system literacy to interrupt stress and burnout cycles

• A simple values-based framework to decide what to prioritise and what to let go

• Small, evidence-based practices that reset stress and restore focus in minutes

• Concrete actions leaders can implement beyond International Women’s Day

Her calm authority and warmth ensure IWD events inspire meaningful change - not just for a day, but in the months that follow.
