Summary

We live in turbulent times where the only constant is cataclysmic change. Without clearly delineated strategies to reduce job stressors and increase adaptive capacity, the soaring rates of burnout will continue to plague us and decimate our teams.

Every healthcare team member is a leader:

  • Lead yourself
  • Lead your team
  • Every healthcare team member is a performance athlete, just like my NFL athletes:
  • Invest in yourself
  • Invest in your teams

The work begins within! Dr. Mayer will provide lessons from his ACHE James Hamilton Award-winning book on burnout, including specific strategies to reconnect to the deep joy which brought us all to healthcare.
