In today’s episode, I chat with Duncan So, the Toronto-based technologist, clinical practitioner, and burnout expert. Duncan gained his expertise the old-fashioned way, through lived experiences. 

He too experienced burnout, the reduction of recovery processes, leaving him drained and unable to perform at his desired level. And he came out of it using the same method that has helped hundreds of companies transform their employees situations, allowing them to rediscover joy, passion, and balance.

Duncan uses clinical processes, combined with coaching principles, to bring the latest science to workplaces struggling under the weight of today’s realities. 

We talked about burnout, the macro impacts of the recession, though quickly transitioned to access - with Duncan outlining how to prevent, manage and recover from the symptoms of burnout. 

Whether you think you're burned out, are a step away, or just want to learn about how to better manage your health in times of stress, this episode is for you. Well-being is the new performance according to Duncan, and I’m inclined to agree. 

I had a fun time connecting with Duncan and hope you enjoy our conversation.
