Leadership, Wellness, and the Midnight Inbox: Mita Mallick Joins the 2025 HBA Wellness Summit Speaker Lineup

A candid look at burnout, boundaries, and building leadership habits that protect your energy – and your team.

The Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA) has announced Mita Mallick, bestselling author and seasoned corporate leader, as a featured speaker for the 2025 HBA Annual Conference Wellness Summit, taking place on Monday, 29 September from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Las Vegas. 

As a trailblazer in marketing and human resources with a mission to fix what’s broken in modern workplaces, Mallick will take the stage for a bold and timely session: The Devil Emails at Midnight – Reclaiming Wellness and Leadership in a Culture of Overwhelm. 

Drawing from her latest book, The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses – set to release publicly the day after the Summit on 30 September –Mallick explores how modern leaders often fall into toxic traps under the guise of productivity and dedication. From burnout masked as loyalty to the erosion of boundaries in always-on cultures, she’ll offer a powerful, practical roadmap to break the cycle and lead with clarity, compassion, and purpose. 


This year’s Wellness Summit theme, Resilient by Design: Centering Wellness in Times of Disruption, recognizes the unprecedented pressure healthcare leaders face today. The summit, available at no additional cost to all registered Annual Conference attendees, offers a unique space for reflection, peer connection, and actionable learning. Featuring keynote presentations and facilitated reflection circles, participants will leave feeling recharged, supported, and ready to lead with greater sustainability. 

During her session, Mallick will challenge attendees to rethink what leadership looks like in today’s nonstop world and how protecting your wellness is not a luxury, but a leadership imperative. All summit attendees will receive an advance copy of the book. 

A Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Mallick is a LinkedIn Top Voice, a Thinkers50 Radar List honoree, and a respected voice in publications including Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Time Magazine.
