Katherine Fry Introduces ETHOS Method to Normalize Workplace Mental Health Practices that Reverse Individual and Organizational Burnout

Katherine Fry, founder of Marble Peak Consulting, launches the ETHOS Method, a transformative framework aimed at reversing individual and organizational burnout by advancing and normalizing proven mental health workplace practices.

United States, January 13, 2025 — Redefining HR Leadership with the ETHOS Method

Katherine Fry, founder of Marble Peak Consulting and an internationally recognized HR expert, has unveiled the ETHOS Method, a comprehensive approach to addressing burnout by advancing proven mental health workplace strategies. This innovative framework is designed to empower HR professionals and organizational leaders while transforming workplace cultures by normalizing empowering mental health practices.

With years of experience navigating the challenges of HR and organizational leadership, Fry developed the ETHOS Method as a response to the mental health crisis and the burnout epidemic in the United States. The framework played a critical role in her mental health recovery during her personal journey of overcoming years of gender and pay discrimination, turning adversity into advocacy for equitable workplaces and mental health practices.

From Burnout to Breakthrough

Katherine Fry’s career trajectory is marked by resilience and transformation. Starting at the age of 21 as an HR Director, she quickly rose through the ranks but not without challenges. Facing workplace stress that led to autoimmune disease and anxiety diagnoses, she became deeply aware of the toll of HR burnout on professionals.

Her experiences became the foundation of her mission to advocate for normalizing mental health practices in the workplace, especially for HR leaders who often neglect their own well-being. The ETHOS Method encapsulates this vision, offering actionable strategies to foster resilience and health among HR professionals and their organizations.

The ETHOS Method: Empowering HR Professionals

The ETHOS Method, an acronym for Event, Thought, Human-Behavior, Outcome, Self, is a practical and adaptable coaching framework designed to support individuals, teams, and organizations. Its structured steps guide users to shift their focus from reactive to intentional responses:

• Event: Analyze the factual details of an event without assumptions or emotional bias.
• Thoughts: Identify personal empowering thoughts and discard disempowering ones.
• Human-Behavior: Choose thoughtful actions, emphasizing the space between stimulus and response.
• Outcome: Focus on the desired outcome, avoiding negativity bias.
• Self: Consider the emotional impact on oneself after achieving the outcome.

Reverse-engineering this method—starting with the desired emotional state and working backward to identify behaviors and outcomes—has proven transformative. It helps shift individuals from a victim mentality to a solution-oriented victor mindset, fostering healthier workplace interactions.

A Focus on Mental Health Practices

Fry’s method extends beyond burnout prevention, addressing broader issues such as workplace inequity and bias. As a survivor of pay and gender discrimination, Fry designed the ETHOS Method to build confidence, curiosity, and compassion—critical leadership skills for creating equitable and inclusive environments.

“HR professionals are often the backbone of organizational well-being, yet they frequently face immense pressure,” said Fry. “The ETHOS Method helps HR leaders reduce burnout and improve individual and organizational health.”

International Expertise and Advocacy

As an internationally recognized speaker, Fry has shared her insights on burnout prevention and equity in HR at global conferences and events. Her authenticity, rooted in personal experience, resonates with professionals seeking practical, real-world strategies to navigate workplace challenges.

Unlike many speakers, Fry’s perspective is grounded in her direct experiences, making her a trusted voice in the HR industry. Her contributions emphasize actionable solutions for mental health advocacy and workplace equity.

Building a Healthy HR Future

The ETHOS Method represents a paradigm shift for HR professionals, prioritizing mental health in workplace strategies and long-term organizational planning. By integrating wellness into development processes, it equips HR leaders to balance their responsibilities while fostering supportive environments for employees.

Through Marble Peak Consulting, Fry offers SHRM and HRCI-recognized recertification programs, HR consulting services, workshops, and speaking engagements. These initiatives bring the ETHOS Method to life, helping HR professionals beat burnout and empower their teams authentically.
