Welcome to the Self Leadership LAB! Join host, Laura Dewey, as she delves into the critical topic of burnout. Why did she choose this topic? It's not only important but also prevalent in today's news and especially impactful in healthcare, an industry she works closely with. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. Burnout can lead to feelings of cynicism, detachment, and ineffectiveness in your job and take a toll on your personal life. In  this episode, Laura covers the definition of burnout and the high cost it takes on individuals and organizations. Through personal stories, she'll illustrate the challenges of burnout and discuss barriers to overcoming it. It soon becomes clear that self-leadership can be used to overcome burnout. You’ll be left with a simple action you can take to improve your situation and an experiment to do to sharpen your skills. Join us in the Self Leadership LAB as we navigate the path to a healthier, more sustainable work life.
