Webinar: Monique Valcour on avoiding burnout and building resilience

Relentless stress at work threatens not only our wellbeing and performance but also our health and career. In this webinar Monique Valcour, management professor and author, presents the current research into the causes of burnout, shows how to judge if we are at risk, and proposes a range of strategies we can use to escape stress triggers at work.

The main cause of burnout for most people is a work environment that has become toxic. This does not mean we are powerless to react. In fact a range of strategies can be effective both to deal with peak stress episodes and ongoing chronic work stress. 

We will explore some of the key approaches that can help, including:
 
  • Prioritising self care – to replenish physical and emotional energy.
  • Revisiting your assumptions about work – don’t assume everything about your workload and work environment is fixed. We will look at ways to try and change both.
  • Reducing exposure to job stressors – different ways to avoid being “carried along in the current”.
  • Seeking out connections – possibly from coaches and mentors but also from colleagues who may be suffering from the same situational factors

We will also discuss when you might need to make more radical changes at work and how as managers and teammates we can work to create less toxic environments.
