Burnout. Is there a stigma around sharing that you’re overworked, exhausted, stressed out, and can’t handle the pressures you face on a daily basis? And is it different whether you’re a man or a woman?
In this episode we’ll explore these questions by diving into an article a friend shared with Kate earlier this year titled, Is burnout finally 'high-profile' enough for leaders to act?
Points Discussed in this Episode
- Applauding Jacinda Ardern for her confidence in speaking out about “...no longer [having] enough ‘in the tank’ to do her job justice.”
- Will having someone this high profile speak up on the topic help remove the stigma around burnout?
- Whether this instance - along with others - is decreasing the public’s confidence in women's ability to be great leaders
- How should the topic of burnout be handled in the workplace?
- Our own personal experiences with burnout
- Our go-to resources when we’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed
