Bring Reset Your Responsibility
to your community.
Make room for what matters by reconsidering what you take on.
Some responsibilities give you purpose. Others accumulate, stay with you after a handoff, or leave little room for what you want next.
Through storytelling, the Trust Tax™ Assessment, and guided reflection, Natalie helps participants recognize their responsibility patterns, consider their burnout score, and identify a change that makes more room for what matters to them.
Participants explore what they want to keep, what needs a different agreement, and where they need more authority or support. For leaders, that can include giving others room to grow and building a contribution beyond their constant involvement.

The Trust Tax™ InvestigationWhy does responsibility
Why does responsibility
keep returning to
the same people?
Help us explore what individuals and organizations can do differently.
Being capable and dependable can bring meaningful opportunities. It can also bring more work without clearer priorities, enough authority, or additional support.
The Trust Tax™ research initiative examines these experiences and how they relate to burnout, opportunity, and room to grow.
Your sponsorship can help more people explore their responsibility patterns alongside their burnout score and support this broader inquiry.

Strengthen what comes next.
Korn Ferry’s Workforce 2026 survey found that 61% of employees reported responsibilities across multiple roles and 55% of managers reported exhaustion.
Based on more than 16,000 professionals in 11 markets. Report announcement: September 8, 2026. External findings, separate from the Trust Tax Investigation.
For partners, the opportunity is to contribute to a practical conversation: how do people develop others and pursue what matters as the way work gets done changes?
Where could your organization contribute?
- Benefits and insurance: connect employer support with the responsibilities people face.
- Recruiting and executive search: explore what authority and support should accompany a bigger role.
- Leadership development and consulting: help leaders develop ownership and judgment in others.
- Healthcare and wellbeing: help people understand support options alongside workplace conditions.
- Financial and professional services: connect what clients have built with the choices they want next.
- Technology and HR platforms: explore ownership, handoffs, and human judgment as work changes.
- Employers: begin with your own leaders, teams, and emerging talent.
