Resilient Insights for Work & Life: From Burnout to Balance
Author, Motivational Speaker, Chief Energy Officer, The Resiliency Group
EPISODE #95
To outsiders, often our respective jobs seem unique, fun, and enviable. Little do your friends know that you work while everyone else plays. You juggle travel schedules, demanding colleagues and budgets that often require miracles. You have days in which you feel stretched so thin you’re transparent. Your family recognizes you from the picture posted in the den or else your kids won’t talk to you because they’ve been warned to stay away from strangers.
We know that beneath this humor is the pain of reality. Research testifies that Americans across all economic spectrums are working more hours than ever before. Technology, which was to have made our lives simpler, in many ways, has added to the speed and overload we all feel. Eileen McDargh has been tracking work/life balance issues for over 20 years and without a doubt, from Australia to India to the British Isles, we are all now united in an epidemic that has no overnight cure and costs businesses millions of dollars in health costs and reduced productivity.
What can you do about it?
In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Eileen McDargh about balancing an unequal life, connecting consciously, living holistically and more…
Since 1980, Eileen McDargh has helped organizations and individuals transform the life of their business and the business of their life through conversations that matter and connections that count. She has become known as a master facilitator, an award-winning author, and an internationally recognized keynoter and executive coach.
She draws upon practical business know-how, life's experiences and years of consulting to major national and international organizations that have ranged from global pharmaceuticals to the US Armed Forces, from health care associations to religious institutions. Her programs are content rich, interactive, provocative and playful—even downright hilarious.
In 2019, Global Gurus International, a British-based provider of resources for leadership, communication and sales training, also ranked her FIRST as one of the World’s Top 30 Communication Professionals following a global survey of 22,000 business professionals.
Eileen has written six books and her seventh book Burnout to Breakthrough: Building Resilience to Refuel, Recharge, and Reclaim What Matters will be published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers in the summer of 2020.
