WHO SHE IS...
Meet Tanyika
Tanyika Mayhew Butler is a speaker, author, and trainer who helps organizations recognize when their best people are doing excellent work while carrying exhaustion no one may see.
For 27 years, Tanyika worked in education as a teacher, school counselor, mentor, presenter, and professional leader. She built an award-winning career while raising a family, advocating for a daughter with autism, and navigating her own life-changing health diagnosis.
She knows firsthand how easily exhaustion can hide behind excellent performance.
That's why her work focuses on a group organizations can easily miss: the people who are still performing producing at a high level.
They haven't stopped producing. They're meeting deadlines, solving problems, leading teams, picking up what needs to be done, and making it work. Their results say, “Everything is fine.”
But those results may tell you nothing about how exhausted they are.
Tanyika's work gives organizations another way to support these employees. Rather than waiting for performance to decline or treating every conversation about exhaustion as burnout, she equips high performers with practical tools to examine what is driving their exhaustion and make changes while they are still doing their job well.
Through speaking, training, and No More UGLY Wins™, Tanyika helps organizations protect the high-performing people they depend on by giving employees practical tools to address exhaustion, beyond burnout, that may not show up in the quality of their work even as the organization faces the much higher price of losing them.
Before you initiate a new Burnout Prevention Program, explore the reason behind the hidden exhaustion of your best employees.
Don't wait for their work to show you they're exhausted. You may lose one of your best people before it ever does.
For years, I thought burnout was the problem. Not because I had questioned it, but because I had accepted it. Then I did what everyone said to do...and I was still exhausted. That's when I stopped looking for ways to recover and started looking for the real source of my exhaustion.

We Don't Wait for Performance to Drop.
Your best employees may be exhausted and you may never see it in their work.
They still meet the deadline.
They still solve the problem.
They still lead.
They still deliver excellent work.
And that's exactly why their exhaustion can be easy to miss.
We give high-performing employees practical tools to understand what's driving their exhaustion and make changes while they're still doing their jobs well.
Because losing one of your best people costs far more than supporting them before they leave.
Be Excellent. Not Exhausted.™

"Clayton County's School Counselors' opening professional development session for the 2023 -2024 school year was awesome! Our speaker, Tanyika Butler, hit the ground running with information that was timely and relevant. She reminded us to remember and support everyone in the family. In life, we can be met with various challenges. It was important to note from Mrs. Butler's session that it is necessary to not only focus on the circumstances that await us, but to also ensure we check in with all family members being impacted by the challenge."Â
