Experiences and Strategies to Prevent, Manage and Recover from Burnout.

We had a wonderful opportunity to share our perspectives recently as a Collective and in person, with our participants who made us feel very welcome. Thank you, MYAN and Rana Ebrahimi, for your hospitality and giving us a platform to share our voices and our perspectives on Burnout.

Great shout out to my colleagues Roman Ružbacký, Adrian Price, and Veema Mooniapah who did incredible job yesterday! and Sarah Gibbins for supporting us earlier. We hope to repeat this again with broader audiences regionally and nationally soon.

Below are some reflections from Roman that he made on LinkedIn

 

We were pleased today to share some of our insights and experience in our first collective and in person workshop on Experiences and strategies to prevent, manage and recover from burnout Workshop. We covered:

  • Evidence based Frameworks & Model

  • Burnout - lived and learned experience, cultural safety and finding your tribe 

  • Burnout in the context of DEI & Leadership Practice - your leadership blueprint, being strategic, how you show up, and identifying resistance. 

We acknowledge the many experts in burnout and hope by making a small contribution to this space, we help set up people for success - to have happy, healthy and long-term careers and to make good choices. 

One that that really struck a chord with me was the experiences of our younger generation in the room. The weight of the world for them feels very real. And creating change feels like a mountain too high to climb. Our job is to provide some optimism to the generations that follow us - to listen carefully, to hold space, to surface the undiscussable, to be a trusted peer, to help slow things down and make time for self care, to change systems and situations we may have helped create, benefited from or left unchallenged, and to make sure we do our work with care, providing realistic and achievable goals. 

 

We are aiming to run a few more workshops this year in rural and regional locations. If you would like to know more or get involved in our collective, please get in touch with me.
