It's Monday! Time for another episode of "Chatting with Agnes & Cecilia" brought to you by Rogue Tulips LLC with Agnes Amos-Coleman, MBA,CMP and Cecilia Sepp, CAE, CNAP. Did I ever think I could laugh about Burnout? Not until I had this conversation with our guest Beth Sperber Richie, Licensed Psychologist, Trauma specialist, and Principal at Fermata Consulting. Beth shares her insights about what contributes to burnout, why people in the nonprofit world are challenged with burnout, how leaders can identify burnout in their teams and what they can do about it (Beth shares specific signs of burnout so this is a must watch).
