Stillness in the Storm with Stephen Berkeley


Listen Later

"Burnout is something that we do have a choice over.”

- Stephen Berkeley


Burnout is a storm of emotions. It comes at you like a wave, sweeping away your energy, and trashing it all over. It is one of the most common job-related problems and a major cause of employee disengagement. It can build between stressful demands on employees and the tendency to see any job as never-ending suffering. 

But storms do come and storms do go away. It's been said that a storm may last for several days, and can be devastating to a community. However, when it comes to recovery, it is important to recognize that storms have a beginning and an end. So as we face the challenges that emerge from the storms of life, stillness in the storm will help us not just bear stress but grow through it.

In this episode, I sat down with a good friend of mine, Stephen Berkeley. As a change and culture facilitator, he shares his takes on how to find calmness and stillness amidst storms in life. Specifically, you will discover how burnout affects a person, how to overcome burnout by changing your mindset, the importance of marginal gains, how to have a huge reservoir of inner calm, and patience as the number one virtue. His thoughts and words are inspired by the book, Stillness in the Storm by Authors Jan Alcoe and Dr. Sarah Eagger,
