The Burnout Challenge by Christina Maslach and Michael Leiter has been a foundational reading for me as I've been learning about burnout since leaving my corporate job. In this episode, I share the ways that they suggest individuals prevent burnout and what organizations can do to create an environment for employees to find success.
In addition, I share the various ways that Wendy Brand Coaching is providing support on this topic through workshops, retreats, a group coaching program, and 1:1 coaching opportunities.
