Notes on Resilience 117: Breaking the Burnout Cycle, with Jasmin Dennis
Burnout is an occupational phenomenon officially recognized by the World Health Organization.
So, what happens when workplace cultures keep us from addressing it directly? Can leaders really create space for authentic conversations about wellbeing?
Wellness expert Jasmin Dennis shares a powerful framework for identifying and preventing emotional burnout through compassionate leadership, showing how leaders can address different manifestations of burnout—lack of energy, decreased productivity, workplace detachment—by tackling one manageable slice at a time.
We explore what happens when leaders themselves experience burnout and why it's essential that wellness initiatives include everyone from frontline employees to top executives. Jasmine shares how simple phrases like "tell me what's going on" can transform workplace dynamics, and why embedding compassion into organizational systems ensures these values persist through leadership changes.
Whether you're a leader struggling with a burned-out team or someone experiencing emotional exhaustion yourself, this episode provides actionable strategies for cultivating environments where well-being is prioritized and compassion drives success.
