Debbie Waite’s Post

Dear Gary, I’ve got to be honest, reading your post, p*ssed me off a little. Sorry 🥶 It’s just I’ve been surrounded by healthcare workers - Nurses, Doctors etc in burnout for the last 4+ years. I know that there is a global issue in how society values healthcare and frontline workers. Many are women and often parents. It’s not getting any better for them. At least not right now. Now, I know that they don’t do it for money - it’s not great. Many a nurse here uses food banks and struggles to heat their homes. They don’t do it for fame … Share a famous nurse apart from Nightingale? So lastly, affirmation? You said “find joy in what you do.” Absolutely- but they need help right now. They need voices of leaders to champion for change. To be respected and valued for the work that they do. Especially carers. They want to be supported and heard. They need to be allowed to “find their joy.” Their joy? Is in helping others. Caring, Supporting, And being able to do the jobs they love. With good staffing, working conditions, education, & emotional support. Just because many of us have “forgotten” the pandemic doesn’t mean they have been able to. That’s a privilege for us and not them. This is a global issue. Canada, America, UK and other countries accross the globe need to prioritise supporting our frontline / first responders. They really are the backbone of our societies - now THAT is an affirmation. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more or discuss this. I’d love to know your thoughts. And if you aren’t Gary Vaynerchuk is still love your thoughts about this. Let me know below 👇 #nhs #healthcareworkers #firstresponders

Absolutely, finding joy and purpose in your work makes all the difference.

A good point of view

Absolutely nailed it! 🌟 Finding joy in your work isn't just a nice-to-have; it's essential for sustaining your energy and passion. Remember, when you do what you love, the results follow naturally. So, let's stop chasing validation and start cherishing our daily grind. Keep pushing, keep smiling, and most importantly, keep finding your why! #BurnoutPrevention #PassionInWork #FindYourWhy #WorkJoyfully #SustainableSuccess

What are your thoughts on burnout? Do you agree with Gary Vaynerchuk ? Understanding your purpose and NOT aligning it with what you’re doing is absolutely can cause burnout, but here are some other factors that can cause burnout. ✨not seeing the financial results of your passions. Financial stress can lead to lack of sleep, stress, and push to burnout. ✨lack of sleep. Your mental cognition drops by 30% with one night of poor sleep. ✨no support network. We’re designed to have support. Burnout can happen when you don’t have support or feel comfortable with reaching out for support. ✨outside circumstances. Remember the SWOT analysis? What about the areas in your life that you can’t control? Sick parents or loved ones, divorce, big life transitions. We have to take these into account. ✨ your mental chatter. If you’re in your head with negative thoughts and criticism, this can propel you to burnout. I’ve had burnout. My passion was real, but I had a lot of pressures and didn’t have the confidence or tools to know how to handle them, I hadn’t done the inner work to hold it all. My mental chatter way high, I didn’t reach out to peers, and hid my stress. Burnout impacts a lot of us. When you can practice mindfulness, self love, compassion, and empathy, handling the outside challenges becomes easier. What are your thoughts on burnout?

There is always a moment, when this happens to many a person. It's important to pick it early and "fix" so you are truly growing as a person, employee or employer. #growth #change #development

Understanding the "why" behind your actions is crucial to avoiding burnout. When you pursue goals for affirmation, money, or fame, burnout can quickly follow. Instead, finding joy and fulfillment in what you do is essential. Genuine passion and purpose are better than merely appearing to have them. Prioritize what truly brings you happiness and satisfaction. #MentalHealth #WorkLifeBalance #FindYourWhy

❤️ WHAT I LOVED ON LINKEDIN THIS WEEK ❤️ 🙏 Gary Vaynerchuk and ⭐️Shamila Gopalan for the theme #success #authenticity ... if success isn't defined as flashy labels, recognition and dollars in the bank, how could it be defined and how would you know you've achieve it? 🎥 💰 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆. 💥 What if you carefully and intentionally chose values and principles that truly meant something to you. 💥 And those values inspired you to live in such a way that when your head hit the pillow you feel whole, joyful, content, knowing you've helped yourself and others make the world a better place. 🏹 We always have a choice - we can continue playing the external validation game and in doing so risk authenticity, deep confidence, emotional wellbeing and likely lose family, friends and colleagues. along the way. Or 🏹 Practice tuning inward. Listening and learning from the inside out. Discover our true thoughts and feelings and through the process consciously choose guiding principles that have us leap leap out of bed to live in service of them. I imagine the planet 🌏 would be a kinder and fairer place. ⬇ What values would you like to see on display from business leaders in your community?
