Proven methods to sustain the supporters
Trusted training and tools to equip mission-driven people to achieve big, hard and meaningful things when the pressure is on.
To prevent burnout and to perform and thrive under pressure
We must solve three key problems
1. Self-care is hard to do under pressure
2. Tired teams become a source of stress rather than support
3. Organizational factors and unprepared leaders contribute to burnout
Self-care is hard to do under pressure
There’s a huge gap between knowing the
importance of self-care and being able to put these things in place under pressure. We must help our people move from knowing it to doing it.
“I was told I needed to look after myself but couldn’t do it. If only I’d found a way because I can’t undo that bad decision, get my marriage back or reverse the
health impacts.”
Tired teams become a source of stress rather than support
There’s incredible power within teams to support or undermine each other’s wellbeing, but we’re not at our best when we’re tired. Team dynamics and performance suffer.
“We rallied together initially, but as time wore on and tiredness kicked in, we split apart and that impacted both us and the work.”
Organizational factors and unprepared leaders contribute to burnout
Asking people to practice self-care without addressing the organizational factors that contribute to burnout doesn’t work. We risk harming even the most resilient and capable of people.
“When the canary in the coalmine falls
off its perch, the answer usually isn’t a stronger canary.”
