You are BURNED OUT!
You've been living with uncertainty fatigue far too long. The pandemic. The ongoing fight against racial injustice. The Great Resignation. The changing landscape for volunteering. The continual challenges of managing up and down as a leader of volunteers. The list goes on. You want to continue to perform and make an impact, but you are exhausted.
Then you get hard on yourself, wondering why you can't just buckle down and be productive. You criticize yourself for not doing the things you know will make you feel better. On top of that, the work just keeps coming, and you have no idea how to get anything off your plate.
Sound familiar? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Burnout rates have skyrocketed over the past two years. And, let's face it, many of us were a little (a lot) burned out before this all started. Burnout is not your fault - but there is something you can do about it.
In this interactive session we'll discuss the signs of burnout and how the ongoing uncertainty impacts your energy and emotions, as well as others around you - volunteers, colleagues, family and friends. Then we'll dive into the REAL steps to recover from burnout - and stay that way. This isn't about taking naps and bubble baths. You'll get practical, tangible steps you can use immediately, including:
-
The key to releasing stress
-
Practices to build self-compassion and resilience
-
Strategies to reset boundaries and expectations
-
Simple actions you can take for yourself, your volunteers and your team to improve work-life balance
