178. Thriving in a Busy Worklife

Send us Fan MailThis final episode in our 5-part series on Managing a Continuous Workload revisits the theme of preventing burnout. Joined again by burnout exec coach Alexis Neighbour, she explains the 4 reasons why burnout is on the rise, namely a general rise in worries and anxieties fuelled by the pandemic, technology, societal pressures and environmental concerns. Juggling work with caring commitments, health issues, attending appointments that are only scheduled in the 9-5 - it's the 'human' stuff that can all add up to create pressure moments that can take its toll (whilst trying to perform well in a role). We share real-life, practical tips for creating 'antidote' moments for ourselves and each other. Its reminding ourselves that our happiness, wellness and satisfaction is important - otherwise what is all the work for?  We cant change the world, but we can change how we interact and impact the aspects of the world that we can influence. A useful listen for those who are having a tricky time balancing pressures in and out of work, or wants to support someone who is.   You can connect with Alexis Neighbour via LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/alexis-neighbour-83b11830 or on email [email protected] topic for you?
