Mentoring Open Session | Turn around before you burnout
Last Wednesday, we hosted another engaging installment of our 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 series for 2024, bringing you a dynamic conversation on combating year-end fatigue and burnout. Our panel of experts shared empowering insights to help you tackle these challenges head-on.
Our discussions emphasised that burnout is not a personal failing but rather a battle fought on multiple fronts. By renewing our sense of belonging, we can expand our support networks, which nurture us and keep burnout at bay.
We explored how feelings of overwhelm stem from life or work overpowering us. The panel offered inspiring insights on managing fatigue and revitalising oneself, focusing on regaining control, clarifying intentions, setting realistic expectations, and determining your next step.
Thank you to our expert panellists for their time and invaluable perspectives. And to everyone who joined us online, your engagement made this event a success.
