Dealing with Burnout

We can consistently run / contribute to a strong and thriving team and school - if we ourselves are thriving. Overworking, burnout and exhaustion does not pave the way for sustainable learning and growth. It undermines it. When people are burned out, potential and output is eroded. Wellbeing, joy and happiness wane. Health is adversely affected. In times of increased challenge, change and uncertainty, more than ever we need to prioritise wellbeing, take good care of ourselves and recharge our batteries so we can be at our best at work and enjoy happy, fulfilled lives. Consistent high performance requires a sustained investment in your wellbeing.

The session will give attendees an understanding of burnout - so they can prevent it, come back from it and also recognise the signs in others. Participants will also learn a range of relaxation and mindfulness practices and many practical insights on how to effectively manage stress and avoid / reverse burnout.
