Reducing and preventing burnout in the workplace: equipping leaders to help others and themselves
Show Notes

Following on from a previous podcast with Anna Anderson, where we looked at wellbeing, I’m delighted that Anna Pinkerton accepted the invitation to join me for a conversation around burnout in the workplace and what organisations can do to address it.  

We know that burnout was already a problem before the pandemic and studies have shown that it has substantially increased in the last 2 years, which is not a surprise. Now we’re seeing that increasing numbers of employees are considering leaving their jobs and in the DDI 2021 study of leadership, burnout is cited as a major reason driving people to consider changing their jobs and even their careers.

Anna talked to us about her approach to burnout and in particular to what she has termed, "burnout trauma".   Tune in to find out what she means by that and her advice to leaders who wish to minimise the risk to themselves and their organisations.

Anna has 28 years of experience in psychotherapy, consultancy and training and is a leading expert in post-trauma stress work.  

She specialises in working with senior executives, leaders of organizations, and entrepreneurs who have experienced a traumatic event, or are suffering from the debil²itating effects of accumulated long-term stress. 

She has written a number of books and resources and she has a new one coming out in April of this year called: My Kinda Life.  She has devised a leadership development method where she helps leaders discover and improve their inner relationship with themselves, to ensure this kindness and solidarity is projected into their working practices.
