Burnout: Coaching Burnout with Low Morale/Motivation on the Team
Green Light: Let’s Get Going
1. When people are feeling burnt out, we want to be very empathetic and sensitive because the results are why people are feeling burnt out can be very personal. Ask them to define resilience which is overcoming times of adversity and challenge through positivity and initiative. 2. After sharing the definition, ask them to come in next week and share the top 3 things they like doing in their role, and why they find them so enjoyable. Ask them what strengths they have in those tasks that perhaps fit into the definition of resilience and why they are so successful at them. 3. Then ask them to come in next week and share 1 thing they’ve done outside of work they find enjoyable. What strengths do they have in that activity that fit into the definition of resilience and why they find it so enjoyable. This changes the way people are feeling in that moment and give them perspective of what they need to do. Fun is a great apparatus to change the physiology of how somebody is feeling.
