Award-winning motivational speaker and executive coach Eileen McDargh presents an ingenious new way of analyzing burnout and shows how to develop four critical skills for building effective resilience.
For the first time, the World Health Organization has classified burnout as a global health problem. Renowned resiliency speaker Eileen McDargh proposes that to tackle it, we must break out of behaviors and mindsets that deplete our resources. Breakout leads to breakthrough, allowing the readers to align energy to what matters most in their lives today.
McDargh helps pinpoint the causes of your burnout and examine the energy demands that keep you from refueling and recharging. She also tackles what managers and organizations do that create potential burnout scenarios and offers advice as to what organizational steps can be taken to counter energy drains. You'll analyze where and how energy is both created and exhausted: our heads (how we think), our hearts (what we feel), our hands (what we do) and our humor (how we recover). Lastly, you'll discover the role of "meaning" and "purpose" in countering the effects of a 24/7 life.
