Joint Bio:

The Good Doctors of Abbey Research are Dr. Kristen Donnelly and Dr. Erin Hinson. They are corporate trainers that focus on employee engagement and retention with approaches and insights that get to the root of discontent, poor morale, and miscommunication, the key factors in employee turnover. The Good Doctors are educators with social science PhDs. They leverage their research, education, training, and experience to help their clients build cultures that no one wants to quit. They are the authors of the multi-award winning, best selling book The Culture of Burnout: Why Your Exhaustion Is Not Your Fault and the recently released Leading Through The Culture of Burnout. They are also the founders of Ontario Street Publishing - a micro-publishing house that wants to create pathways for local and marginalized voices to share their ideas.

Erin's Bio:

Erin Hinson (MA, PhD) is a researcher, educator, author, and tea enthusiast with almost two decades of experience in cultivating curiosity and understanding in herself and others. She believes empathy is a skill, not a superpower, that burnout is a cultural condition and not an individual failing, and that technology has fundamentally shifted our sense of belonging across and between generations. She is one of The Good Doctors of Abbey Research and co-author (along with Kristen Nielsen Donnelly) of the multi-award winning, best selling book The Culture of Burnout: Why Your Exhaustion Is Not Your Fault (2023) and the recently released Leading Through The Culture of Burnout (2026). Erin lives in Pittsburgh with her mother, cat, and international gin collection.

Kristen and Erin require either a HDMI hookup and available charging port, or a way to present a pre-loaded presentation with clicker. No sounds will be embedded in the presentation, but if the room is large enough to necessitate a microphone, they are comfortable with lavaliere or handheld.
