Burnout Webinar

Monday, November 24, 2025

Burnout will impact 75% of professionals (not just Golf Professionals) during their career. On a personal level, the cost is high, often leading to strained relationships and mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. For employers in the US, burnout costs around $300 billion annually due to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and healthcare costs. Additionally, burned-out employees are 2.6x more likely to actively seek a new job. Given that burnout can have such negative consequences for you, the people around you, and the success of the business, why are we not more attuned to the “Check Engine” lights that signal burnout? The truth is, our bodies have several “Check Engine” lights we can pay attention to, and there are often behavioral signals that we can notice in others. If you would like to learn more, I invite you to join me on Monday, November 24th from 12:00pm - 1:00pm for the first of four scheduled educational webinars designed to help you enhance your career. This will be a “Book Club” webinar, and we will be using the book "Powered By Me” by Dr. Neha Sangwan.
