On this episode of the Humans of DevOps, Jason Baum is joined by Colleen Verriest, LCSW owner of Whole Heart Healing, LLC! 🗣 They discuss:

- What is burnout

- What are the signs of burnout

- Causes of burnout

- How can business leaders combat employee burnout

- How to combat burnout

A study by Haystack Analytics found that 81% of developers reported experiencing burnout due to the pandemic. The study found that the top reasons for burnout included higher workload, inefficient processes, and unclear goals and targets.

Colleen Verriest is the Founder of Whole Heart Healing and has been nurturing change in individuals and organizations for nearly 20 years as a licensed clinical social worker and nonprofit leader.  

Colleen assumed several progressive leadership positions in the nonprofit sector, starting as a clinical director, moving on to a vice president role, and finally to CEO.

Colleen’s leadership is grounded in the question, “what is possible?”. Her focus has always been supporting the growth of agencies and programs, but most importantly the growth of people – those on her teams and those served. She has found that leading with compassion, flexibility and fairness has brought success throughout her career.  What matters most to Colleen is leading with the heart, leading with intention, and a  good dose of vulnerability.  

Colleen is filled up by just “being” with her family. She loves attending sporting events and traveling with her fiancé and son, taking a run, and connecting with her ever-loving circle of friends and family.
