From Burnout to Breakthrough

Wellness Workshop for Your Team

About This Project

This project highlights my work developing and delivering my Burnout to Breakthrough workshops for universities in response to the post-pandemic rise in stress and uncertainty among professionals and students alike.

As institutions faced continuous change, many faculty and staff struggled with burnout, affecting both well-being and performance. I partnered with multiple universities and departments to create a fun, engaging workshop that introduces participants to the key signs and symptoms of burnout. Using interactive activities and practical strategies, the session empowered professionals to take the first steps toward prevention or burnout recovery, equipping them with actionable tools to navigate workplace stress and promote their health and happiness.
