Let’s break burnout culture. Are you in?
Right now, times are tough and almost everyone’s feeling it.
Every day, I hear the same concerns from champions and leaders: “How do I support my team, keep up with demands, and avoid burnout myself?”
Sound familiar? Many of you know my own burnout story – I get it, and I know you’re working hard, often at the expense of your own wellbeing.
With 57% of the workforce at high risk of burnout, it’s clear we can’t go on like this. We need to act now.
As a leader or wellbeing champion, you’ve probably been feeling the pressure of burnout culture yourself…
You’ve seen the challenge of balancing work, personal life, and wellbeing, and thought, How can I make this work without burning out myself?
✅ How can I prioritise my wellbeing and still be there for my team?
✅ How can I lead, achieve these change projects, AND manage my existing workload?
✅ How can I find reliable strategies that will actually make a difference in my workplace?
But when you try to take the next step, you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
You’re in the right place if…
You’ve been meaning to take action, but don’t know where to begin.
Or, you’ve been trying to improve wellbeing for you and your team, but looking for the next step.
When you’re focused on managing multiple priorities, it’s easy for wellbeing to get overlooked – until it’s too late.
You want things to be better – for your wellbeing and your team’s health and business performance.
And you want practical tips and bite-sized guidance that’s realistic in today’s work world.
But you’re also juggling a lot…
You might feel stretched thin trying to support your team’s wellbeing while managing your own and juggling life on the home front.
With limited time, resources, and senior leadership support, making wellbeing a priority at work can seem out of reach.
And even when you’re passionate about championing change, it can be tough to know where to start.
Too often, wellbeing gets sidelined as day-to-day demands take over.
We see it all the time. That’s why we created this shareable graph. These are really common (and costly) issues.
Plus, it’s noisy out there
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant flow of wellbeing advice, especially with the endless social media feeds and conflicting recommendations.
You can easily spend hours Googling solutions, only to end up unsure which sources you can trust.
With your already full workload, you don’t have time to sift through all the noise.
What you need is straightforward, reliable information that helps you create real change without the uncertainty (there’s enough of that already!).
You’re looking for bite-sized, actionable insights that you can use now. And you want to build your skills, so you’re prepared to navigate challenges as they arise.
