Is ROW for me?

Let’s break burnout culture. Are you in?

Right now, times are tough and almost everyone’s feeling it.

The most common thing we hear from champions and leaders around the globe is: “How do I look after my team, keep up with the demands, and not burn out at the same time?”

Sound familiar? 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.

You’ve probably been feeling the pressure of burnout culture yourself…

Work is intense right now – high workloads, hybrid teams, the push back to the office, AI, complex systems, customer aggression… the list goes on.

You’ve probably found yourself thinking:

What changes can I actually make in my workplace? What are others doing?
How do I look after my own wellbeing and still show up for my team?
How do I get others on board with this – and where do I even start?

And when you try to take the next step, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to begin.

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 to talk to other people who are doing this work to learn from them and shares the highs and lows.

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, you might feel like you’re on a long, slow, lonely road.

And even when you’re passionate about championing change, it can be tough to know what to focus on first.

Too often, wellbeing gets sidelined as all the other 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 and be part of a community that gets it.

Sound like you?
