01 | Lessons in Burnout from an Executive Burnout-in-Recovery

The Podgress Report

Text The Podgress Report

In this episode of The Podgress Report, host Jen Phillips does her very best podcaster impression. It's our first episode, and we're very nervous.
But today's topic is incredibly important; it's the information you need to understand Burnout...it's definition, dimensions, accelerators, and profiles. So try to hang in there because we may just have pulled together some really useful information for you if you...or someone you care for...is struggling with burnout.

Experiencing burnout is painful, but we don't have to go it alone. We're better when we have accurate data and a strong community to support our recovery.
