Live Virtual Course Via Zoom

Thursday, September 17
11:00 AM –  1:00 PM

Burnout can build gradually, often showing up long before someone realizes they are running on empty. In this interactive webinar, Eric Herdman will help participants recognize the early warning signs of burnout, understand high-functioning burnout and the difference between burnout and everyday stress, and identify the personal and professional factors that can drain energy over time.

Participants will learn practical strategies for preventing burnout before exhaustion begins to affect performance and well-being. The session will explore boundary-setting techniques for managing workload and expectations, assertive communication strategies to help prevent overload, and simple daily habits or “micro-resets” that can sustain energy, focus, and clarity. Participants will also identify their own energy drains and energy sources so they can make more intentional choices about workload, boundaries, and recovery.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with practical tools they can begin using immediately, including two to three daily strategies for maintaining energy and focus, along with a personal action plan designed to proactively reduce burnout risk and support long-term resilience.

Cost: There is no charge for employees of Contractors Signatory to Local 8 & 533 and MCAKC Associate Members.
