Lucinda welcomes mental health consultant Petra Velzeboer to discuss the importance of prioritising mental health in the workplace. They explore the signs of burnout and the 12-stage process that leads to it, emphasising the need for prevention and self-awareness.

Petra shares practical tips for managing stress, including setting boundaries, reevaluating values, and addressing digital well-being. They also discuss the impact of meeting culture and inefficiencies in the workplace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Prevention is important, as burnout can take a long time to recover from.
• The 12 stages of burnout include proving oneself, working harder, neglecting needs, displacing conflict, revising values, denying the problem, withdrawal, behavior change, inner emptiness, depression, and burnout.
• It is important to prioritise one's own well-being and create boundaries in order to manage stress effectively.
• Taking control of digital well-being and reevaluating meeting culture can also contribute to reducing stress and increasing productivity.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're seeing a lot of real issues these days around topics such as burnout, working culture, things like that."

"What we do know is that when you hit full-on burnout, it can take up to two years, sometimes more, to fully recover."

"The best thing for your wellbeing might be to have the difficult conversation you've been putting off."

"It's about community, laughter, connection."

"We need to unlearn a few things in order to create space for innovation and creativity."
