Whoa! Are you running too fast?
How often have you found yourself sucked into the whirlpool of tasks and items on your agenda, spiralling round at break-neck speed, hoping that you won’t trip yourself up in the process?
If you’ve been feeling that the pace of change has sped up during this time of pandemic. You’d be right. McKinsey has reported how organisations have increased their rate of digital transformation by x 20-25 over the last couple of years thanks in no small part to Covid.
Whoa!
Could developing your sociopathic tendencies keep you safe from burnout?
Burnout is on the rise and its effects can be devastating.
So could being a sociopath protect you from the risk?
Hmm. Debateable.
What have you noticed about sociopaths you’ve come across in your life?
Is this the real reason you’re burning out?
Burnout.
It seems it’s on everybodys lips.
Is it on yours?

Are you cheesed off, burnt out or just sad? Do you know the difference?
Burnout is real, even though some continue to dispute its existence.
It’s becoming increasingly prevalent having increased by 5% in just the last year.

Even more importantly, how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Taking a risk can feel scary, daunting even.
So how do you get better at taking a smart well thought out risk, because you know the upside will be good, even though those thoughts of self-doubt and fear of failure keep holding you back?
What matters more: Being paid well or feeling appreciated at work?
We spend over 90,000 hours at work so surely there’s more to it than just a paycheck.
It turns out that what we want more than money is recognition and appreciation.
That’s not much to ask is it? And yet in too many workplaces too many employees are left feeling unvalued and unappreciated leading many to ask “why bother?”
