Bolstering Against Burnout: Building Mental Fitness To Thrive

It is no secret that burnout has become a widespread epidemic. A recent Deloitte survey found that 77% of respondents have experienced burnout in their current job, and in May 2019, the World Health Organization recognized burnout as an occupational phenomenon.

In museums, workers describe the precise conditions that lead to burnout:

• work overload/being asked to do more with less
• lack of control
• lack of appreciation and appropriate rewards
• breakdowns in community and trust
• values conflicts
• sense of unfairness and inequity

So how can we bolster ourselves against this condition?

Drawing from her knowledge of museum culture and the neuroscience of happiness and resilience, Certified E-Co Leadership and Positive Intelligence® Coach, Beth Tuttle, will deliver a presentation on Bolstering Against Burnout: Building Mental Fitness to Thrive.

In this session participants will learn:

• To recognize the circumstances that cause burnout.
• How common self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors contribute to burnout.
• Techniques to shift from Saboteur to Sage thinking and build the mental fitness muscles needed to master their mindset and leverage pro-resilience practices to replenish their reserves.

To provide individualized context for the presentation, attendees are invited to take a confidential, free, research-backed Positive Intelligence® Saboteur assessment in advance to learn which common self-sabotaging behaviors are most dominant in their lives, and which may be setting them up for burnout. The assessment takes 5 to 10 minutes, and participants will receive their confidential report via direct email from Shirzad Chamine, Stanford University neuroscience lecturer and author of the New York Times bestseller, Positive Intelligence.
