Event Description
In today’s ‘always-on’ work culture, many of us feel the constant pressure to keep up. But how well do you balance demands with resources? Persistent feelings of being overwhelmed can drain us emotionally, physically, and mentally, leading to stress, exhaustion, and ultimately burnout. This interactive workshop is designed to help both team leaders and team members identify and address burnout. Participants will explore the burnout syndrome, recognize signs and symptoms of stress, and understand the risk factors associated with chronic depletion. The session covers the differences between stress and burnout, the stages of burnout, along with practical strategies for managing stress and achieving more. The workshop concludes with participants creating a personalized action plan to apply what they’ve learned.

Program Objectives:
  • Understand the causes, signs, symptoms, and risk factors of burnout.
  • Identify triggers (or stressors) that are cues of danger that disrupt our mental well being.
  • Learn the stages of burnout (Honeymoon phase, Onset of stress phase, Chronic stress phase, Burnout phase, and Habitual burnout phase) and actions to take at each stage.
  • Explore proven burnout recovery strategies (boundaries, focus, ove rachievement, resilience, and priorities) and techniques to prevent burnout.
