Harvard Business Review - Burnout Article
Last week there was a Harvard Business Review article on what burnout looks like at various stages of one’s career. An interesting read, I connected with the familiar observations and challenges. (https://hbr.org/2026/04/burnout-looks-different-across-the-org-chart-watch-for-these-signs?utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=rasa_io).
Provided some ‘advice to my younger self’ on our Socials this week. The common theme throughout my career - I didn’t put my well-being first, my ambition took over and speed to the top felt ever more crucial as a woman. If you slowed down or took a break, you were effectively written-off. The added pressure along with lack of clarity early and then the compression sandwich in management made it ever more challenging. Knowing that I didn’t need to go to every meeting, pushing back on things that invaded my focus or well-being time - things that I wish I had done better. I knew my value but I didn’t necessarily act like it - fearing the consequences, but the e ironic thing is that it only encouraged more pushing of my boundaries, to the extent it was an office joke that was doing the work of 5 people. Knowing our value, and protecting it ❤️
