Healthy Hustle: How High-Performing Teams Innovate

We all want professional success, to be recognized for our impact and to have our teams focus on the work they do best. Yet many high-achievers fall into the trap of overwork and busyness leading to burnout. We all want to do work that makes us feel good but may not know how.

To achieve success & peak creativity for your teams, you must create a culture of both challenge and continuous improvement for both your people and your products. The way to innovation is to embrace healthy hustle for yourself and your teams.

Tutti Taygerly shares lessons of sustainable success from her CEO clients and her 22 years in Silicon Valley.

Your Otherness is Your Superpower

Many of us feel like outsiders in a corporate workplace whether by gender, race, neurodiversity or something else entirely. We worry that we won't progress in our career without following the standard form of leadership that doesn’t feel authentic. Yet for individuals and teams to achieve peak performance, we must know our strengths and differences. This otherness is our leadership superpower that maximizes our impact at work and helps teams succeed.

From her personal journey identifying as a banana in college (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) through a first career as a design leader in tech and now an executive coach, Tutti Taygerly moves beyond the stereotypes and shares strategies for how “others” can claim their leadership and succeed in workplaces not built with them in mind.

  • “Tutti’s keynote was, hands down, the best we’ve ever hosted. She didn’t just inspire—she activated real change. One participant sent me a page-long email about how her session shifted his leadership.

    What makes Tutti exceptional is her ability to guide people into discomfort with warmth and precision. She doesn’t sugarcoat or cheerlead—she invites deep introspection and courageous conversation, and somehow makes it feel safe.

    If you want a keynote speaker who catalyzes transformation, hire Tutti. You’ll raise the bar for what your audience expects from every speaker after her.”

    — Andrea Drew, Founder, Cospire

    —Alysia Cottrell, Women’s Initiative Network Co-Chair & Engineering Leader, BD
