Avoiding Burnout

  • Burnout is no longer seen as an individual resilience issue, it is a critical organisational risk. Persistent stress, increasing cognitive load, and always-on ways of working are leaving employees exhausted, disengaged, and struggling to sustain performance.
     
    Burnout isn’t a personal failure. It is a physiological response to prolonged stress without adequate recovery. Modern work environments keep many people locked in a constant state of urgency, activating survival responses designed for short-term threats, not continuous pressure. And prevention starts with understanding the nervous system.
     
    In this session, participants explore the science behind stress, energy, and recovery, and learn how to work with their biology rather than against it. The focus is proactive: helping people manage stress before it becomes depletion.
     
    Through accessible science and practical tools, this session equips participants to regulate stress, protect energy, and build sustainable habits that support both wellbeing and performance.
