successful.
And privately
exhausted.

“I’d been going back and forth on a job change for months. We broke down how I make decisions, where I get stuck, why I stall. I made the decision within three weeks. For once, I didn’t second-guess myself into the ground.”
“My burnout wasn’t dramatic. I was just tired all the time and had stopped enjoying basically everything. I plan differently now. I don’t hit that same wall anymore.”
“The book put words to something I’d been carrying for years — that specific combination of ambition and anxiety that doesn’t make sense to most people around you. I recover faster now.”
Shien Victoria Zutshi
Shien has spent years interviewing CEOs, founders, and global leaders — studying what high performers actually do to sustain success without losing themselves. That research, combined with graduate training in counselling and nearly two decades in international education, became the foundation of Equilibrium by Design.
Of Kashmiri and Punjabi heritage, she has lived across five countries, speaks five languages, co-founded an NGO in Scandinavia, and sat on the Advisory Council of a World Bank Group initiative. She built EBD because she kept meeting the same person in different rooms: high-achieving, privately exhausted, and unsure why success never felt like enough.
EBD delivers wellbeing and performance programmes for law firms, professional services firms, IB schools, and public institutions worldwide.
