February 4, 2021

Here at CGL, we are passionate about work-life balance. This is one of the main reasons we are a distributed company. 

Burnout is far too common amongst professionals. Finding a balance between the stress of work and real life is more important than ever. I believe it is extremely important to talk about this issue so, in this episode, I discuss it with an expert.

Michael Levitt is the Chief Burnout Officer of the Breakfast Leadership Network. He is a leading authority on burnout, recovery, and prevention. Michael also has a diverse professional background that we will be diving into. Tune in to hear all about his experience with workplace burnout and what to do if you are burnt out.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • The worst-case scenario that burnout caused in Michael’s life. 
  • How he practiced self-reflection after he suffered burnout.
  • Why Michael started the Breakfast Leadership Network.
  • The symptoms of burnout.
