Are you on the tiredness/exhaustion/burnout continuum?

A recent McKinsey study suggested that over 50% of us at work are exhibiting signs of burnout.

In this episode Jean Balfour shares her own very personal story of Burnout and what she learnt from it. 

She goes on to share

  • Signs and symptoms of exhaustion and burnout
  • Possible causes from our working lives
  • Her approach to recovery
  • A call to action to leaders and organisations to take exhaustion seriously. 

She ends on a high note - sharing how fully recovery is possible - bringing back enjoyment and meaning in work.
