Session Description
Burnout isn’t just an individual issue—it’s a systemic challenge that affects both leadership and teams. Join Cait Donovan to break down the shared responsibilities of leaders and team members in creating a work culture that fights burnout from all angles. Leaders will learn how to foster environments that prioritize well-being without overstepping into the role of a therapist, while teams will discover their own role in managing stress, boundaries, and workload. By addressing burnout collectively, both sides will explore actionable strategies for reducing burnout culture and building workplaces where everyone thrives. This is about blame avoidance and mutual empowerment—leaders and teams, working together.
