Description

In this episode, we explore the hidden dangers of working at an unsustainable pace and why "being busy" is not the same as being productive. Our guest, executive coach Rachel King, shares powerful insights on the causes of burnout, why New Zealanders are particularly affected, and how leaders can shift towards sustainable, thriving work environments. 

Highlights: 

  • How stress impacts health, engagement, and life satisfaction. 

  • Why clearing more emails doesn't mean you're achieving more. 

  • The four pillars of shifting from burnout to thriving: Awareness, Filter, Understand Yourself, and Manage Energy. 

  • Practical strategies to manage physical, mental, and emotional energy at work.
