What Goes Wrong & How to Get It Right
Dr. Lisa Nunn debunks the myth that we can fix our own burnout. We are told that better time management, more vacation days, practicing gratitude, unplugging, and “saying no” are the cure. But that only helps us cope with the symptoms. Dr. Nunn’s new research finds that the sustainable solution to burnout is not better self-care and stress-relief, but workplace communities that are respectful instead of greedy; trusting instead of controlling; trustworthy instead of unfair; and appreciative instead of disingenuous, among other things. Dr. Nunn reveals that the efforts required to minimize burnout are exactly the same efforts that create genuine belonging. Want to protect your workplace from burnout? Let Dr. Nunn teach you how the real work of belonging is accomplished. How leadership, peers, collaborators and supervisors all play key roles in cultivating a workplace that feels like a “we.”
Award winning author and Professor of Sociology at the University of San Diego, Dr. Lisa Nunn has been researching belonging in organizations for over a decade. She has been invited to speak to more than 45 organizations across the nation.
