ABOUT THIS EPISODE
“I’m really up against it this month, but I’m not burnt out.” So say the 77% of us who are, in fact, burnt out. We just don’t realise it.
Today I'm speaking with career sustainability expert Leah Steele, who has been working around burnout prevention for the past 6.5 years, having hit the wall herself as a high-performing lawyer.
And what did she do after hitting that wall?
The same thing most of us will do in burnout - she kept going.
Leah is about to blow the definition of burnout wide open to help you understand more about it, how it can affect your team, and how you can put measures in place to prevent it.
We’ll discuss:
the true definition of burnout and the three pillars it involves
how our understanding of burnout is skewed and contributes to stigma and shame
who does burnout affect, why are the numbers so high, and what are the risk factors for burning out?
the many ways that burnout affects our people and organisations on economic and social levels (listen out for the section on insurance premiums!!)
why we need to work on systemic solutions alongside individual ones
the practical steps you can put in place - both in-house and with third party providers - to build a culture that mitigates the risks and reduces burnout
…and why me and Leah being foghorns could be useful for you!
If you take anything from today’s conversation, get in touch with Leah, and she will take it from there!
ABOUT LEAH
Leah Steele is a coach, trainer, mentor, consultant, and founder of Searching for Serenity, focused on helping both individuals and organisations with issues around career sustainability.
You'll most often hear her talking about burnout, imposter syndrome, stress and resilience, because these are issues that affect the productivity, profitability, engagement, enjoyment, and longevity of an individual's career.
A former lawyer, she experienced her own issues with burnout whilst she worked with clients engaged in large-scale litigation as a result of intense trauma and bereavement.
Leah believes that we need brilliant bright professionals who deserve to be fully resourced to do their necessary work effectively, allowing them to have a meaningful impact over the long term.
