From the course: Managing Career Burnout
Today's burnout work culture
I remember the moment when I realized burnout was derailing my career. I was driving through my alma mater's campus three years into what was arguably my dream job, but I was so tired I was slumped over my steering wheel bone tired and just tired of feeling tired. As I looked out across the windshield in front of me, I saw college students dragging their bags home for Thanksgiving break, and I was filled with envy. I'd been waiting for permission from someone else or for the end of a semester to give me the clearance to actually pace myself and take a break, and not work all the time. It was in that moment that I realized, if I want to sustain my ambition over the long haul, if I want to career with impact, this way of working all the time really wasn't working. I've spent the better part of the last decade understanding and finding a way to prevent burnout from derailing my career, understanding its root causes, its warning signs, and finding a path forward for sustainable success. So join me, Emilie Aries, in this LinkedIn Learning course to understand burnout's root causes, its warning signs, and how you can prevent it from derailing your career.
