Program Description:"Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the
matter: people don't leave jobs; they leave managers”. Travis Bradberry
Burnout for C-suite executives presents unique challenges. The two programs in this specially-priced package explore how burnout specifically manifests in the C-suite,
considering factors like high-stakes decision-making and the struggle to balance personal and professional life. Participants are taught how to recognize
early signs of burnout, both in themselves, their peers and employees.
Specific practical strategies for managing stress and workload, such as effective time management, delegation, and goal setting are reviewed.
These programs also emphasize developing a resilient mindset and enhancing emotional intelligence, which are crucial for coping with pressures and setbacks.
A supportive culture within the workplace is essential. This includes fostering a culture that prioritizes mental well-being and encourages
open communication. The role of the C-suite employee in leading by example is essential. All these topics were reviewed in an interactive fun environment at TAHCH's Winter Conference and are now available online to
help you meet the challenges of burn out in your workplace and your own life.
