Nine to Thrive HR Podcast: Hitting Reset on Burnout

Nine to Thrive HR Podcast: Hitting Reset on Burnout

Thank you so much to Nine to Thrive HR host (and Gild Collective facilitator!) Cindi Koetzle for having us on the HCI podcast to kick off the new year. Together we deep dive into ways to address both the stress and the stressors in your personal and professional lives in order to hit reset on the far-reaching effects of burnout. We talk data, workplace boundaries and get a little personal about this time of year when everyone is either making resolutions, already breaking resolutions, or feeling resentful toward the idea that they have time for resolutions. If you’re in that third category, you’ve probably started the new year in a state of burnout—and maybe it isn’t new.

Forget Quiet Quitting: Advocate Loudly for Lasting Change

For some of us, the thought of quiet quitting sounds like a far away, unattainable dream. For others, the idea of quiet quitting being a viral sensation causes us to roll our eyes and ask the question (which many others are also asking), ”Isn’t ‘quiet quitting’ just called ‘working’?” Where you fall on this spectrum depends on two main variables: your personal ability to set and maintain boundaries, and the culture on your team at work.

Case Study: Navigating Burnout with VMware's CodeHouse

In addition to working with VMware’s Women Connecting Women over the years, this summer we were also invited to deliver short programs on Navigating Burnout to VMware’s CodeHouse participants.

CodeHouse is a three-day technical experience for students. The Atlanta session was targeted at undergraduate Black and Latina women in Computer Science and the Palo Alto session had an audience of graduate-level women in Computer Science.

Identity and Boundaries: A different type of balance for working women without children

In past posts, we’ve explored the unhealthy habits and unrealistic expectations that have led to burnout and women stepping back from the workforce. While we’ve been mindful to note that this applies to working women both with and without kids, we’ll be the first to acknowledge that much of the press we’ve seen in this space has been around working mothers.

In a recent Elle article focused on working women without children, we see the more raw side of the experience of women who have pushed themselves to the brink when it comes to “picking up the slack” where mothers have left the workforce. Countless women share their stories of exhaustion to the point of passing out on video calls, ending up in the hospital, or simply losing any semblance of separation between “work” and “life.”

#BreakTheBias: Women’s History Month Recap

,

As Women’s History Month and the celebration of International Women’s Day comes to a close, we want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the organizations we had the privilege of working with during such a pivotal month for so many companies to drive gender equity action forward.

With this year’s International Women’s Day theme of #BreakTheBias, individuals were called to take action for collective progress. At Gild Collective, we worked with our clients to approach this theme in different ways—providing tools for interrupting bias in big ways within workplaces and small ways within our own interactions.

Case Study: Ohio Banker's League 2021 Next Gan Conference – Navigating Burnout

The theme of the 2021 Next Gen conference for the Ohio Banker’s League was “Building for the Future”, with a focus on preparing emerging leaders for an industry that is moving forward. The conference was an opportunity for industry rising stars to come together, albeit virtually, to learn, grow, and inspire. Attendees came from all functions of the bank, most relatively early in their careers. All were hoping to come away from the conference sessions with tactical skills that they can use daily to grow in their leadership capabilities.
