How to Stop Burnout
But what is burnout?
What are the triggers?
Is burnout preventable and if so, how do you prevent it?
Burnout is regarded by the World Health Organisation as a key driver of work-place absence and with nearly half of global employees reporting high levels of daily stress in their work in 2024, burnout remains a big challenge for people who are striving and coping in a complex and fast-changing 21st century world.
In this session, participants will explore:
The World Health Organisation definition of burnout. Is the definition fit for purpose? And does it fit with our own experiences of burnout?
The common burnout myths: why they’re misleading and how to redefine them.
The signs and triggers of burnout. What should we look out for, so we can both see our own burnout symptoms early and better support the people we work with?
Psychological safety and why it’s a key component in reducing burnout in the workplace. What does the data say and what are the 5 crucial building blocks of psychological safety?
The wider organisational lessons from the recent 4-day working week experiments.
HOPE: why is it important for preventing burnout? How do you foster a hope which is both inspiring and grounded in reality, so hopes are helpfully raised, but without setting people up to fail?
The Kubler Ross Change curve: why is it both helpful AND unhelpful in illustrating the complexities of change?
Marginal Gains: why are they so powerful in equipping you to achieve your most precious goals, whilst avoiding overwhelm at the same time?
Adversity and the language of T.E.S.T. - how does the world of elite sport deal with setbacks/defeat? And what can we adapt the T.E.S.T approach to day-to-day life?
The difference between resilience and GRIT. What is GRIT and how do you develop it in the good times, so you can draw on it in the more difficult times?
