Combatting Burnout

Talk less and listen more. First and foremost listen to yourself and what your body is telling you even if your mind is trying to push you harder. This was one of many powerful insights by Elizabeth Rosenberg, Founder of the appropriately named, Good Advice Company, who joined Jennifer Hill and Brandon Maslan to share her good advice. She shared that after winding up in the hospital she finally got healthy and started listening to herself. We so often put too much pressure on ourselves and the best thing for our careers is to take it easy so we can go harder later. Finally, she shared a great tip for starting meetings by asking others to check in on a scale of 1-5 on how they are doing mentally today and then adjusting your approach to meet them where they are. Be sure to check in with yourself on that same scale and if needed share with others where you are.
