Who We Serve
The leaders we partner with care deeply about people & culture.
Across sectors, many organizations reach a point where the pressure on their people begins to shape culture in visible ways — through burnout, disengagement, compassion fatigue, and rising strain on leaders.
The realities of the work have outpaced the structures designed to support healthy performance, sustainable leadership, and employee well-being.
The result is:
Work feels heavier.
Emotional demands are rising.
Committed employees are carrying more.
Burnout and compassion fatigue are harder to ignore.
Good people are disengaging, despite everyone’s best efforts.
That is where we come in to support people and culture initiatives via workshops, consulting, and coaching for organizations in the corporate, nonprofit, healthcare, emergency response, education, and private sectors.
Meet Our Consultants
Bonita Eby, Founder & CEO
Bonita is a Burnout Prevention and Organizational Culture Consultant and the founder of Breakthrough.
Her work is grounded in over 25 years of experience across healthcare, leadership development, and organizational consulting. Early in her career, she worked in healthcare supporting individuals recovering from traumatic injuries as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. That experience shaped how she understands stress, trauma, and recovery, both individually and organizationally.
After experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue in a demanding not-for-profit leadership and crisis response role, she began researching burnout, compassion fatigue, and resilience at the individual and organizational levels. That lived experience became the foundation of her work today. Bonita has dedicated the last decade to translating research into practical, sustainable workplace solutions to support leaders, teams, and mission.
