SelfWare Consulting LLC

Networking:

To begin the meeting, everyone on the call will get ≈ 30 seconds to introduce themselves and share one connection they want to make or something that they are looking for help with. During or after these introductions, you may send private messages to anyone you can help or anyone you would like to meet.


Beat Burnout:

We live in a world where burnout is becoming the new normal. Despite that, burnout is very misunderstood and often underestimated. Did you know that people who are often burnt out are 23% more likely to end up in the emergency room?!? And did you know that it’s not unlikely for over half of employees in a company to feel burnt out?

In this workshop I will clearly explain,

  1. What burnout is. (You might be surprised!)
  2. Why so many people are burnt out. (Hint: It's NOT just because people work too much.)
  3. Fundamental principles to help you beat burnout without pressing pause.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a life where you can show up fully to both your career and your family/personal goals? Let's learn how together!


(There is a cap on how many people can attend so register for the meeting ASAP to claim your spot!!!)
