In this episode, host Brandon Laws sits down with Dr. MH Pelletier, a leading expert in workplace psychology, to discuss insights from her new book, The Resilience Plan. Dr. Pelletier explains how burnout develops gradually, as exhaustion, cynicism, and declining performance set in. That’s why we must stay self-aware, recognizing early signs of overextension before it impacts our well-being. By creating a personalized strategic resilience plan grounded in individual values, we can proactively manage stress, preserve our mental health, and optimize workplace performance. Listen in to find out how fostering resilience at both the individual and organizational levels can lead to healthier, more effective teams and workplaces.
