Join us for an engaging and practical discussion about burnout and how it can affect the productivity, culture, and growth of your company.
The rates of workplace burnout have soared since COVID-19. Entrepreneurs’ personalities, passion for their work, high levels of business uncertainty and stress, and limited safety nets put them among the highest rates of burnout compared to other workers. Dr. Andrew Miki is a Registered Psychologist and founder of a mental health company for employees. He has extensive professional and personal experience helping individuals and organizations identify and address burnout. This presentation is tailored for leaders of start-ups and will provide insights, strategies, and practical advice to prevent and treat burnout.
