Restore your Focus, Energy and Self-Governance
You’ve learned how to show up, create results, carry things, deliver, and hold it all together. You’re still on top of your game. But your sleep isn’t refreshing you anymore. There’s a tightness in your chest or shoulders that won’t leave. You start feeling fuzzy in the brain by the afternoon. The tiredness doesn’t shake off anymore, even with rest. If this resonates, don’t despair. This isn’t burnout either, as you’re still performing well up here. This is Burn On: chronic exhaustion with good performance. Here’s the thing: your body’s stress-response system that kept you in high performance can be guided gently back to safety, back to vitality, back to the clarity you recall. By the end of this 6-week program together, you’ll have back your clarity, energy, and sense of control, without losing your edge.
Claude's team started this program in March, right in the middle of their most intense fiscal period, because I know that only when the boat stopped rocking did the solution get a foothold.
"I felt like a slave to the work. I used to accept every client request and worked seven days a week. I couldn’t put my phone down, even during the night."
"What happened was that, to my surprise, I became more serene at work. I learned to take a moment first. I learned to demand a ‘no more appointments in April’ when I had to protect my capacity. The guilt, that crushing guilt I used to feel when I had to postpone a task, say no, it is simply not there. That’s so freeing. I can leave the office at five thirty, instead of obsessively staring at my phone. I don’t have to stress. And people see me more composed, less rigid. More results focused instead of controlling of every detail."
Claude, what was the impact of the program on your revenue?
"It increased by 30% that year."
— Claude B., CEO Ceno Consulting
Your leadership journey is divided into three dimensions of well-being, each corresponding to a phase of inner development: Purpose, Body, and Mind. Each phase is more than a step; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and grow in a way that is both deeply personal and scientifically informed.
Phase I
Purpose - Orientation
Where am I? What am I here for?
You'll map your nervous system, develop self-awareness, and learn to notice your physiological state without judgment. This is about befriending your current reality.
Phase II
Body - Exploration
How did I get here?
You'll explore the roots of your current state, stabilize your energy, and restore your physical foundation through embodied practices and intentional recovery.
Phase III
Mind - Adaptation
How do I move forward from here?
You'll integrate what you've learned, build new habits, strengthen self-governance, and connect your renewed capacity to your wider environment.
"We called upon Dr. Sanae Tabnaoui to help us navigate periods of high activity. Thanks to her expertise, kindness, and attentive listening, she guided our team toward genuine, lasting, and collective well-being.
She taught us to recognize our strengths and leverage them daily.
We are grateful for her support and the positive energy she instilled in our team."
— Noémie G., Co-Founder, Ceno Consulting
Hi, I'm Sanae
I know what it's like to lead in pharma and biotech. I spent 18 years there, developing cell therapies, leading teams, and navigating the relentless pressure of scientific innovation. I also know what happens when brilliant leaders push beyond their biology's limits. I've seen colleagues lose their spark while still performing. I've felt that tension myself.
My own experiences drove me to dig into the research to understand what was really happening beneath the exhaustion, why rest stopped working, and what science could tell us about restoration that goes deeper than surface fixes. That's why I can recognize "Burn On" when others miss it, and why I know the way through isn't about pushing harder or thinking differently. It's about restoring your nervous system's natural flexibility so clarity and energy can return.
This program brings together everything I've learned: the rigorous science of human biology, the realities of pharmaceutical leadership, and the practical tools that actually work when you're in the middle of chaos, not after it.
I'm here to walk beside you through this 6-week journey, as a guide who understands both the science and the challenges of a highly demanding sector.
Calibrate Your Physiological Compass
Orientation
Learn to read your body's signals before exhaustion becomes crisis. You'll develop the ability to notice tension, fatigue, and stress in real-time - and respond with clarity instead of pushing through. This is where safety begins.
Restore Your Energy and Focus
Exploration
Discover how to break free from chronic tension and restore genuine vitality. You'll learn practical ways to shift out of defense mode, stabilize your energy, and access the sustained focus you thought you'd lost.
Build Sustainable Self-Governance
Adaptation
Create daily practices that support both excellence and well-being. You'll integrate what you've learned into rhythms that last, building the capacity to lead with clarity and purpose without sacrificing yourself in the process.
Over 6 weeks, you'll move through a carefully designed journey grounded in neurobiology and adapted to the realities of scientific leadership. Every element is built to help you restore what chronic pressure has stolen.
What's included:
This isn't about willpower or positive thinking. This is precision engineering for human design, giving you the tools to restore your nervous system's flexibility so you can lead with clarity, energy, and sustainable performance.

This program is for scientific leaders who are still performing at a high level but feel depleted inside. If you have chronic tension, poor sleep, or brain fog despite excellent work output, this is for you. You don't need to be in crisis - you need to be ready to restore your nervous system's capacity.
No. This program is neuro-resilience coaching, not therapy. The work is guided by neuroscience and delivered by a PhD scientist with pharma/biotech leadership experience, but it's not therapy. If you're navigating trauma or acute mental health concerns, therapy is the right choice. This program restores your nervous system's flexibility so you can lead with clarity and sustainable energy.
Six weeks, three phases. Time commitment is 1-2 hours per week. The program is delivered online or in-person, in English or French, whatever fits your schedule.
Three 1:1 coaching sessions (bi-weekly), three themed workshops, ExploreBook with daily "Try Me" practices, bonus book, email/phone support between sessions, scientific assessments at start and end, and a final roadmap for sustained growth.
All programs come with a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like the program, simply request a refund by emailing sanae@theflourishingincubator.com. Easy peasy.
Lifetime access. Your ExploreBook, bonus book, and all workshop materials are yours to keep.
Yes. Complete all "Try Me" exercises in your ExploreBook and receive 20% reimbursement of your program fee.
Real change comes from practice, not just insight.
Yes. The Zen at Work program is designed for teams and extends to 12 weeks. It adds three deeper dimensions: meaning and purpose, challenging the myth of normal (social well-being culture), and systemic mastery to create an ecosystem of flourishing. Same flexible format - online or in-person, English or French.
