Reignite: Building Resilience in the Age of Burnout

As humans, we are way more alike than we are different; however, these days, we have never felt this disconnected and lonely in the work we do and the people we serve. Subsequently, it seems as though people, in general, have never been this "assholeryish", and the data would suggest that the overwhelm is even more prominent in those of us who are marginalized. Because of this, and so many other factors, many organizations continue to witness the impact of burnout, with reduced morale, low productivity, and a lack of innovation. Emotional exhaustion, a lack of compassion, and an experience of futility have become common experiences for many teams. Dr. Jody has begun walking hundreds of organizations through the process of reconnection to combat burnout and reconnect our disconnections—getting us all back to the best parts of us. She provides specific strategies to shift culture, bringing hilarity and truth while reigniting purpose and productivity with this game-changing talk.
