Preventing Burnout

Practical strategies to help busy, time-crunched people prevent burnout.

In addition to resilience strategies, this session also includes content that addresses the root cause of burnout – workload volume – and provides participants with practical tactics to help them diplomatically negotiate some priorities, reduce the load and actually increase productivity. It works great on its own, or it can provide an awesome “part 2” to “Planning & Prioritizing for Change and Agility. It can also be facilitated in a “Leaders” or “General audience” version.

The virtual version of this course is 90-120 minutes & the in-person version is 2-3 hours.
