Almost 40% of U.S. workers report feeling some sort of burnout in their work - a trend that is actually increasing as we leave the pandemic conditions we all faced over the last few years.

This week, the crew discuss their strategies for combating and recovering from burnout. We are taking changing your mindset from needing to vent to focusing on gratitude, isolating and observing the causes of stress in our lives, and focusing on our Clifton Strengths domains to make sure we are accomplishing our work in the ways that come most naturally to us.

Find the companion conversation between Mark and Scott Anderson of Doubledare, aired during last week's Signature Live here.
