52. Foot Stuck on the Gas Pedal? Lessons on Preventing Burnout with Nicole Brusewitz

Disengaged, disconnected, and thriving. Yes, you read that right. You can be all three. But how on earth, you might be asking yourself, can an event professional avoid burnout – never mind, thrive! – when constantly engaged, connected to technology, wearing multiple hats, and not getting the recommended hours of sleep per night? You won’t want to miss my conversation with Nicole Brusewitz, with whom I go back over 15 years. As you’ll hear, Nicole refers to our listening audience as “unsung heroes,” and I couldn’t agree more. But I consider Nicole one, too. She’s helped thousands of financial services professionals grow as leaders by creating engaging educational experiences that provide impactful personal and professional development opportunities. Anyone who’s attended one of her growth-mindset-inspired programs will tell you that her style ignites courage and direction and moves people to act. Preventing burnout is something Nicole champions for all event professionals. Burnout can happen when you like what you do but are too depleted and have nothing left to give – when you’re engaged and exhausted, dedicated and depleted. Workloads are higher than ever. Decision fatigue is real. Learn how to manage your energy and avoid getting your foot stuck on the gas pedal.
