Running Into the Petri Dish of Burnout: A How Not-To Workshop
Are you a passionate leader dedicated to climate action or another values-based cause? Do you pour your heart and soul into your work, only to feel drained, overwhelmed, or stuck? It's time to break free from the cycle of burnout and reclaim your energy and impact.
In this interactive workshop, you'll discover how your greatest strengths can inadvertently lead you down the path to burnout. Explore four common leadership archetypes—Perfectionist, Hero, Researcher, and Motivator—and identify your own burnout style. Learn practical mindfulness techniques like Balloon Breath, Body Alarm, and Lover Words to manage stress, set boundaries, and align your actions with your values.
More importantly, you will discover that transformation, not just change, is the key to breaking free from the cycle of burnout. Understand how to use fear as a signal and turn your "Awesome" into a sustainable force for good. Walk away with a concrete action plan and a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that who you are is good, and your unique gifts are essential for creating a brighter future. Don't let burnout derail your mission—join us and unleash your full potential!
Workshop is facilitated by Laurie McGinley who helps ambitious, values based leaders stay out of the petri dish of burnout (or recover if they fall into it) so that they can do what they are here to do. Expect an interactive and dynamic workshop.
