What we’re about
The Burnout Society: Thrive in your career without losing your mind.
The Truth About Burnout:
You're not broken. Your workplace probably is. The system may be broken, but that doesn't mean you have to break too. Part of what we explore together is understanding what's within your control to change and what workplace dysfunction you can stop owning.
Who This Is For:
This meetup is for professionals experiencing burnout who need an hour with people who get it. The real power is in the group - there's something validating about hearing someone else describe exactly what you're going through and discovering strategies that actually work in demanding careers.
What We Do Each session:
I introduce a concept that helps with professional burnout, then we dive into group sharing and individual reflection. This isn't a lecture - it's an interactive experience where your presence and insights matter as much as mine.
What this is NOT:
- A place to just complain about your boss for an hour
- For people wanting solutions without self-reflection
- For people not personally dealing with burnout but want to learn or observe
- Therapy, legal help, or business networking
Facilitator:
Led by Ruth Kao Barr, MA, PCC, certified leadership and wellbeing coach specializing in burnout recovery.
(We're a new group, so we'll stay flexible and adjust based on what serves us best.)
