I could really tell how much Calebs gift meant to you in that opening story - those are the kind of personal connections that seem so rare in professional settings these days and really should be cherished
it was, but actually even better was when I ran into him and his wife at the state fair this summer and she told me that I've been the best leader he's had. :)
This is tough because I think team members really look to those in charge to set the tone in a workplace and it's hard not to feel pressured to go above and beyond when you see your leaders pushing themselves to the edge
The idea that burnout prevention should be a company priority is spot on, but from experience, it's rare to find leaders with the emotional intelligence to manage this.
Restfulness, pretty foreign in the higher ranks. My friend's a CFO and he's expected to be available and willing at all times while pushing 80+ hours a week. The guy never complains, but you know there's gonna be those that are like "yeah that's why they get paid $xxx,xxx" or "if you can't hack it get another..."
The burnout story is super relatable, so many people I know have gone through something along those lines and it just seems so crazy that overworking to that degree has been completely normalized
Wow the stuff around the 7:00 mark was really interesting. I wonder how my childhood trauma is affecting my work because lord knows there's a lot of it!
I've never thought of work as an addiction but it rings true for me... I've always fallen into those high-achiever traps but just hadn't recognized work as one of them
I think it's really sweet that she spent so much time looking into ways of preventing other people from burning out the way she did. It sounds like such an awful experience and wanting to help other people from going through it is just really lovely!!
I'll never understand people who work even more than 50 hours a week, especially if it's not for yourself or something you really believe in. No company is worth the toll that takes physically and mentally.
I know right, i didn’t do it consciously or by choice, nor i think anyone who falls into this trap does. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to make sure nobody goes through it 🙏
Thank you, Carmen. This is one of the most powerful speeches on leadership. You have cast a breakthrough to bring this message to leaders and Entrepreneurs or those wanting to reach a successful level in both WORK and personal LIFE ... coming from someone as successful as you, It becomes such a powerful message.. And what a blessing to have shared this stage with you! 🙏🏼 ~ Lorena Frey (how to break free from the shackles of childhood trauma). -
Carmen, your message of Caring for your People and your Teams is so important for all Leaders and Managers! Thank you for sharing your insights, research and passion!❤🎉🎉🎉
Gotta say it's prioritising employee well-being over just numbers was hard to believe. I'm so into it! Surely if they feel better, they'll do better to!
If burnout really is rooted in trauma it's something that needs to be discussed wayyyyy more than what it is currently. I do think a lot of it is just unsustainable workloads though
Powerful message, as a leader in corporate America for over 15 years, I believe the CARES acronym is something more leaders need to help them actually care about their employees! Great message, thanks for sharing!
The CARES framework seems helpful but I'm a little stuck on how to apply it to my exact situation. Maybe I just need more upskilling on how to create day-to-day strategies. Honestly being a manager is hard.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for your vulnerable comment. I'd be more than happy to help you figure it out if you give me more information. Also the CARES framework is just one of the tools I teach leaders.
It's interesting to think about childhood experiences as factors in our work habits. Personally I think you're on to something but I don't know how leaders would be able to help their staff become aware of those subconscious patterns. It's not like they're therapists or anything like at the end of the day they're also just people
Thank you! My idea is that leaders can point their employees toward the right resources but for that they need to care first about them. Definitely not suggesting they, the leaders can fix the issues ❤
Just don't be toxic. Don't encourage or "let slide" behaviors that go against the work culture. Don't ask people to do more than what they're capable of.
Oh man when she said about the hives on her body I felt so seen haha I get these really tiny ones on my hands and feet and yeah they itch and burn like crazy. Super embarrassing.
The CARES framework sounds so promising! Especially the focus on restfulness and support. A lot of leaders overlook the need for that
Let's change the workplace, one leader at a time

That’s exactly why the leaders are the ones responsible 😊
I like that you're advocating for a human approach that treats employees as more than just their output.
This is my life work and I believe in this deeply
The idea that burnout prevention should be a company priority is spot on, but from experience, it's rare to find leaders with the emotional intelligence to manage this.
100% and that's why I've made it my mission to teach leaders emotional intelligence
Restfulness, pretty foreign in the higher ranks. My friend's a CFO and he's expected to be available and willing at all times while pushing 80+ hours a week. The guy never complains, but you know there's gonna be those that are like "yeah that's why they get paid $xxx,xxx" or "if you can't hack it get another..."
I never complained either, until I almost die. please share this video with your friend so he knows he isn't alone and that it's not ok.
The burnout story is super relatable, so many people I know have gone through something along those lines and it just seems so crazy that overworking to that degree has been completely normalized
Thank you for your comment and yes, so crazy. Let’s un-normalize it❤
It is incredible how most of us just react to the burn out just until an important situation or condition slaps just in the face. 😪
But now you have the awareness 🎉🎉🎉
This is really optimistic and all but not all industries are prioritizing "caring" leadership and I doubt they ever will
You are right, mine didn’t and that’s why I almost died, so we can stay quiet or do something about it.
Wow the stuff around the 7:00 mark was really interesting. I wonder how my childhood trauma is affecting my work because lord knows there's a lot of it!
I know, and this is why it's so important to do the work to heal because we carry these traumas everywhere we go.
I've never thought of work as an addiction but it rings true for me... I've always fallen into those high-achiever traps but just hadn't recognized work as one of them
At my last job they were starting to preach the self care for leaders, but you could feel that it was just a boxcheck.
that's sad and unfortunately common. I'm on a mission to help people understand how important it is
It was so amazing to deliver this talk at TEDx Borrowdale
I think it's really sweet that she spent so much time looking into ways of preventing other people from burning out the way she did. It sounds like such an awful experience and wanting to help other people from going through it is just really lovely!!
Thank you 🙏 more than sweet I figured out this it happened for a reason
I'll never understand people who work even more than 50 hours a week, especially if it's not for yourself or something you really believe in. No company is worth the toll that takes physically and mentally.

Thank you so much lady. can't wait to see yours.
You command the stage so well as you do your message.
@@inspiredgrowth9834 thank you 😊🙏
The relationship between staff and leaders is definitely changing and I think that's a good thing. Advice like this should be taken seriously
I appreciate your message so much and I agree. ❤
Carmen, your message of Caring for your People and your Teams is so important for all Leaders and Managers! Thank you for sharing your insights, research and passion!❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much. I’m glad it resonates ❤
Hopefully there's space for leaders to also avoid burnout. We lead by example after all
I absolutely agree that leaders should consistently ask whether their employees are safe to share their successes and challenges
100%! Thank you
What a powerhouse! CARES = Compassionate Leadership with HEART! Thank you for sharing yours and these valuable tools!
Thank you 🙏
Very powerful and thoughtful message. Not just about everyday tasls but important to look inwards.
Thank you 🙏 I’m glad it resonated with you
Gotta say it's prioritising employee well-being over just numbers was hard to believe. I'm so into it! Surely if they feel better, they'll do better to!
thank you and yes. you bet they will do better..
If burnout really is rooted in trauma it's something that needs to be discussed wayyyyy more than what it is currently. I do think a lot of it is just unsustainable workloads though
yes nothing is absolute, but you are correct trauma NEEDS to be discussed way more.
All leaders and employers should ask themselves those five questions! It's a much needed talk on a TEDx platform!
Thank you ❤
This is really important and I agree it should be those leading who are leading that are also supporting!
Yes!!! Thank you for your support
Excellent Carmen. I think this is the perfect wake up call. If only everyone could see this and absorb your message.
Thank you
There is no burnout where absolute fear is present.
Powerful message, as a leader in corporate America for over 15 years, I believe the CARES acronym is something more leaders need to help them actually care about their employees! Great message, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much
A powerful message for corporate leaders and those wanting to lead.
Thank you!!!
These are powerful questions! Every corporation and organization will benefit from tapping into them! Thank you for your transformative work.
You are so welcome
Love this so much! Compassion in the workspace is truly a transformational tool.
Thank you and yes, it changes everything ❤

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your vulnerable comment. I'd be more than happy to help you figure it out if you give me more information. Also the CARES framework is just one of the tools I teach leaders.
start with looking at how they treat their people!
What a light you shine on how we leaders can alchemize our childhood traumas to truly empower other leaders! BOOM!
Thank you. I'm so happy it resonated with you.

Wonderful
thank you
Is it realistic to prioritise feelings over performance?
I did and had the best performing teams of every company I worked for as a result
Okay but how did Caleb know where she lived? I feel like that's pretty inappropriate.
That’s funny. I regularly had my teams and their significant others at my house for holiday parties. Nothing inappropriate there
