Description

Burnout as a catalyst: Pamela's journey to a career pivot.



Episode 11 of a series of podcasts on taking conscious breaks from work.



In this episode, Petro du Pisani speaks to Pamela Naidoo-Amegio, an executive leader and geoscientist. Pamela shares her journey of taking a sabbatical in 2015 after nearly burning out.



Pamela reflects on her reasons for the break, the gap between her expectations and reality, and the transformative lessons learned. Pamela used the time for self-reflection, pursuing hobbies, and ultimately pivoting her career from mining to the nuclear industry.



She highlights the importance of self-care, recognising burnout, and working breaks into her work-life to maintain balance and foster personal growth. More about Petro du Pisani and On Change here · Connect with Petro · Solid Gold Podcasts
