🌟 Burn Bright, Not Out: A Thought-Provoking Session on Burnout and Well-Being 🌟 Yesterday, we hosted an inspiring session on exhaustion and burnout with Anna Katharina Schaffner, PhD, a leading expert, burnout coach, and author of Exhausted: An A-Z for the Weary. Key takeaways from the session: 💡 Burnout isn’t just about work—it’s the result of stress across all areas of life. 💡 To truly rest, we must disconnect—mentally and physically—from work. 💡 Burn bright, not out—restore energy by rediscovering what brings you joy and purpose. 💡 Organizations have a crucial role in preventing burnout by fostering healthier, more supportive work cultures. One powerful insight: “We need to become time rebels—prioritize rest and joy unapologetically.” A heartfelt thank-you to Anna for her expertise and to everyone who participated. Let’s keep this vital conversation going! Global Women Connect - Europe Chapter #GlobalWomenConnect #BurnoutPrevention #WellBeing #BurnBrightNotOut

We are delighted and thankful for Anna Katharina Schaffner, PhD for contributing her time and wisdom in tomorrow's Q&A session to discuss how fostering open dialogue, building supportive environments, and prioritizing self-care, organizations and individuals can work together to prevent burnout. 📅12 December 2024 at 12:00 GMT 👉 Register here for the live session or recording: https://lnkd.in/gvviXwhr At Global Women Connect - Europe Chapter, we strive to improve well-being and create stronger, more resilient communities in both professional and personal spaces. 🙌 Follow us and engage in discussions on topics such as Health & Wellbeing, Representation, Equality, Inclusion, Empowerment, Entrepreneurship, and Financial Literacy.

For many mothers, the constant balancing act of work, parenting, and life’s demands can feel like running a marathon with no finish line. 🏃♀️ A recent LinkedIn post revealed that the average working mom essentially works the equivalent of 2.5 full-time jobs—a reality that resonated deeply with many. 💼💔 The heartfelt responses included not only mothers sharing their experiences but also fathers who acknowledged feeling equally stretched thin or expressed concern about the toll this takes on their partners. 👨👩👧👦 At GWC Europe, we recognize that burnout is not limited to one role or gender. Fathers, too, often face pressure, and many are searching for ways to better support their partners. 🤝 Beyond parenting, we also see how caregiving responsibilities—such as supporting aging parents—disproportionately fall on women. 👵👩 In our conversation with Anna K. Schaffner, top exhaustion coach and author featured in BBC, Financial Times, and Psychology Today among other key publications, we will discuss how to recognize and address burnout early and strategies to manage the different types of exhaustion. 📚💡 📢Join us this Thursday with Anna Katharina Schaffner, PhD to learn about fostering resilience and maintaining a sense of balance. ⚖️ https://lnkd.in/gvviXwhr

✨️Burnout solutions are not working… find out why and learn to pivot back to engagement✨️ Burnout is not just a personal issue; recent research shows it’s a systemic challenge that affects productivity, retention, and organizational health. Many organizations have been focusing on driving improvements by offering a set of personal interventions centered on what employees can do to improve at an individual level. 🧘 Yoga, 🧘♂️ mindfulness training, coaching, access to therapy are examples of those interventions… and while those are positive and provide a buffer or a cushion, they rarely address the core reasons behind employee exhaustion. 🌟 GWC EU has reached out to exhaustion coach Anna K. Schaffner to organize a Q&A session that will explore actionable solutions that address the root causes of burnout—not just its symptoms. This session is for you if: - You’ve put significant effort into self-care but still feel drained and disconnected from your work. 💔 - You’re a manager, organizational leader, or HR staff looking for effective strategies to enhance engagement and commitment. 📈 - You want to take proactive steps and discover ways to prevent exhaustion and burnout. 🔋 Join us to explore actionable steps and effective methods to reignite engagement. 🎉 https://lnkd.in/gvviXwhr Can’t make the live session? 📅 Register to receive the recording.
