Listen Later

Dr. Jacqueline Kerr is in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide. But in 2018, she experienced severe burn out. To survive and start to thrive, she shifted out of academia. Now, she is using this burn out to fuel change in her career, her messaging, and what she's offering to other scientists, especially to moms in research. Some key takeaways are related to:

  • Advocating for multilevel burn out prevention
  • Embracing the “mediocre man mindset” for products
  • A vulnerable share related to her experience; validating the differences between being tired and overwhelmed and burn out
  • Knowing that there are six faces of burn out, do you see one of them in the mirror?
