Burnout, What is it & how do you prevent it with Grant Herbert
Burnout is a psychological, emotional, and physical state of exhaustion caused by chronic, excessive, and prolonged stress. It typically occurs in response to demanding work or lifestyle situations but can also arise from other sources of stress, such as personal relationships or caregiving responsibilities.
Burnout is not simply a feeling of being tired or overworked; it is characterized by a sense of detachment, and a decline in overall functioning. In a VUCA world, individuals often experience
heightened levels of stress, as they must constantly adapt to new situations, navigate uncertainty, and deal with increasing demands and pressures.
The fast-paced nature of work, technological advancements, global connectivity, and economic fluctuations contribute to this sense of volatility and complexity. Now the question is what do we do about it ?
Grant Herbert, an Executive Leadership Trainer, Coach, and Emotional Intelligence Speaker and Trainer, joined the conversation at a café and shared fascinating insights about "Burnout: Understanding and Prevention."
Grant emphasized that stress plays a crucial role in burnout. As human beings, we require a certain level of stress known as Eustress to function optimally. However, if we venture into the territory of Distress, we are likely to experience burnout.
Furthermore, Grant highlighted that burnout isn't solely caused by factors like workload, toxic work culture, or leadership. Surprisingly, even continuous work on something we are deeply passionate about can lead to burnout if not managed effectively.
