What Can I Do About Feeling Tired, Stressed and Burned Out?
Program includes a CD with the video presentation, plus supplemental materials, PowerPoint slides, and complete transcript • $99
There is the growing stack of papers to grade, the lectures to prepare for, and the endless drafts of scholarships for publication. No wonder many faculty members at college and university campuses today struggle with burnout and excessive stress.
But help is available. Stress can be identified, addressed and prevented. In this program, Brian Van Brunt, Ed.D., describes valuable approaches for recognizing and addressing faculty burnout and stress.
During this 20-minute program, you will learn:
- The difference between normal stress and burnout.
- The cost of burnout – for the individual and the academic department.
- The five core concepts to create a life in balance.
- How early family messages may impact attitudes later in life toward work and stress.
- Ways to begin the change process. This will include a discussion of how to overcome “stuck” habits and how to begin making small, measurable changes that can lead to larger improvements.
The program also includes supplemental materials that feature a quiz to help you assess your Professional Quality of Life (ProQol), a description of the signs of stress, recommendations for prevention and for taking the first steps toward change, a case study, questions for reflection, and recommended resources.
