Burnout is a bit of a buzzword right now, and I’ll myth bust straight away and say I don’t see it as simply being about working too hard! Let’s dig deeper and look at what it might be in an individual that drives or allows them to continually exceed their capacity, and the impact that has.

So what do we mean by burnout, what might cause it, how might it be experienced and recognised, and importantly how can we spot warning signs and what are some practical approaches and tools to intervene? I’ll also cover recovery strategies should anyone already be there, or find themselves there. 

We’ll look at the role of:

• Energy draining thought patterns 
• Personality types
• Values, Identity and Purpose

I’ll offer a blend of scientific background, psychological mapping models and practical exercises for you to put into action in this informative, supportive and constructive talk. 

I’ll identify some of the common personality and thought patterns that lead to burnout, and share some steps and tools to course correct this.     

Attendees will gain an understanding of how and why burnout can happen and what that can look and feel like. Also, gain an awareness of how to tune in and listen to your own potential warning signs within your physical and mental health, and learn to respond to those with compassion.  

In exploring this, I’ll overview a holistic way of looking at physical and mental health and energy management in individuals. In covering a variety of different potential contributing aspects to burnout, there’s likely to be something here that’s pertinent or of interest to everyone, in our human experience. 

I strongly believe that many of us have so much more potential that we’re able to open up into. Sometimes with clunky software still running in our brains, we push ourselves a really hard and long way around in pursuit of how we want to feel, our goals and dreams, at times leading to burnout. Let’s look at how we can shortcut that efficiently, ensure that where we’re headed truly is where we want to be, and take care of ourselves along the way.
