Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend " Take off Tuesday" at RunwayFBU as a guest speaker, where I shared the insights on burnout during the founder journey. Excited to continue my mission of bringing more psychological knowledge into the ecosystem. Venture is fundamentally a human business and to success we must cultivate the best of human capital #venture #psychology Mari Wachelke , Thomasine Jean Chadaré , Sagar Chandna Aker Tech House
This morning, we hosted our September Takeoff Tuesday session focused on burnout in the founder journey, featuring guest speaker psychologist Camilla Mustad. She provided insights on how burnout often arises in high-demand, low-control environments—a situation many founders and entrepreneurs face. To better illustrate, Camilla shared the stages of burnout symptoms and discussed statistics on personal factors that affect susceptibility. She noted that women aged 20-35 and those over 55 are more prone to burnout, while for men, the risk increases with age. What can individuals and/or leaders do to help manage burnout within their teams? Camilla offered five practical strategies: 1️⃣ Encourage self-care through regular exercise, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep. 2️⃣ Promote mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage stress. 3️⃣ Task demand - lighten the load on the person doing the job or redistribute tasks when necessary. 4️⃣ Seek social support - which serves as a moderator in high strain environment (high level of demand + low control) 5️⃣ Encourage team members to learn to set boundaries and say no. The session wrapped up with some questions from the audience, moderated by our Community Manager, Thomasine Jean Chadaré. Thank you to those who joined us this morning - and we hope you're taking care of yourselves! ✌️ #burnout #mentalhealth #founder #entrepreneur #startup
