More than four in ten Canadian professionals have experienced burnout, a condition that’s unfortunately familiar to many CPAs. A commonly held conception is that burnout is caused solely by the workplace, and in many cases, workplace conditions absolutely contribute to burnout. However, burnout can also be caused by things like our family of origin, our culture, our environment, and our own behaviours. Being armed with this more holistic understanding of burnout gives us more agency to avoid experiencing it.
The module instructor will also share her own story of experiencing founder burnout, the causes, and her ultimate lesson that sometimes, burnout can be exactly what you need to make the changes required to live a more aligned, energizing and fulfilling life.
