Deep dives

The Link Between Awkwardness and Burnout

The first step towards embracing awkwardness is to slow down and build awareness of how much time is spent performing and catering to others' expectations at work. The data shows that continuously trying to eliminate awkwardness through performing and catering not only exhausts individuals but also decreases their workplace performance. Recognizing the impact of catering and performing can help individuals transition towards being their authentic selves, embracing their uniqueness, and showing up as their raw, imperfect selves. The key is to stay in the uncomfortable space of embracing and accepting awkwardness, rather than running away from it.
