1202L - Beyond Burnout: From Charred to Re-Charged

This session is developed by, and presenters invited by, Leadership and Professional Issues. You’re a high achiever. A leader. A compassionate professional. But, you are no longer sure of your purpose and passion. Problems once solvable by simply working harder and longer seem insurmountable. It’s difficult to muster the energy to care - let alone take action to help yourself. Uniquely different than stress or depression, professional fatigue involves physical and emotional exhaustion, a reduced sense of accomplishment, and a loss of personal identity – leaving you worn out, stressed out, checked out, and out of ideas on how to move forward. Whether you are just beginning to smolder or feel completely burned out, this session will provide tools to rebuild your physical, psychological/cognitive, and emotional mojo and rekindle your professional fire.
