Battling Burnout — Brendan Graham (MakerX)
Burnout isn’t just some hypothetical thing that happens when someone is working too much or too hard. There are very real changes that can happen in your brain, body and thought processes. Some of us have or will experience some sort of burnout at some point in our lives or careers. It may come on quickly, or it may be due to the accumulation of stress over a longer period of time. Either way, it can lead to serious problems with your mental health, personal relationships and ability to work.
While burnout may not be the same between any two people, during this I’ll cover some of the signs and symptoms of burnout:
-
How can you recognise burnout in yourself or your staff / colleagues?
-
What might be happening and how might you be able to help?
I’ll also talk through my own experiences having dealt with it myself, and seeing the signs in others. Hopefully you’ll come away with a better understanding of what may or may not be healthy work behaviours, and be able to recognise when things are going wrong before you burnout yourself.
