What is burnout, and how can we prevent it?

We're increasingly hearing about the idea of 'burnout', which the World Health Organisation has defined as a condition "resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed". Recent high profile resignations, including Jacinda Ardern the former PM of New Zealand and Jürgen Klopp, the Manager of Liverpool Football Club — both citing not having enough energy to continue to do their jobs — are merely illustrative of a dyanmic that can impact us all.

On this episode, I'm speaking to Sabrina Ahmed, who helps people to manage the risks of burnout using art, creativity, curiosity and playfullness.

In our discussion, we explore:
  • the signs and causes of burnout;
  • how burnout can impact the self-employed, as much as the employed;
  • the benefits of art, creativity, curiosity and playfeullness in combatting the effects of burnout;
  • how aligning our personal values ith our professional lives can help mitigate burnout;
  • the power of job crafting
and much,much more.
