Burnout At Work: Recognize The Three Components

This is an excerpt from a session on recognizing Burnout at Work. You'll learn how three components to burnout -- Exhaustion, Cynicism, and Low Efficacy -- accumulate over time. And you'll hear how looking at different levels helps give clarity when looking for a path to recovery: Personal level (things like overworking, lack of boundaries, inner pressure to be the hero) and Environmental level (the bigger situation and environment where you work).

Mindfulness skills in being observant, curious, and compassionate will help ground you, so you can identify when you're drifting into burnout -- and then course correct -- before it gets too intense.
