Viral Topic: The Impact of Stress on Burnout
 
Quote: "So a lot of busyness, but not a lot of progress. And I think that's what's contributing to that trend of burnout in employees is they're feeling like They're running on this treadmill and they're going really fast, but there's no destination."
— Sonya Shelton 00:02:47 
The Importance of Purpose in Times of Uncertainty: "So the antidotes to uncertainty and the speed of change also were 2 things. 1 is clarity, and the other is purpose."
