This 4-part series provides a powerful roadmap for groups of leaders, administrators, or employees looking to alleviate or preemptively address experiences of burnout and it’s negative impact in the workplace (and life outside the office).
Widespread burnout affects more than just the individual. It can, and likely would, be felt across the entire team.
Burnout can lead to a lack of focus, high turnover at work, increased sick days, mental and physical stress symptoms (such as exhaustion, anxiety, high blood pressure, or worse). It can, and often does, negatively impact both personal and professional lives and relationships.
1. Learn and practice concrete strategies, best mind/body/spirit practices, and new habits to preempt or alleviate burnout.
2. Learn inner self-care techniques for healing, emotional regulation, and releasing fear, scarcity mindset, and anxiety.
3. Tap into your inner strengths to live a more meaningful, purposeful life.
4. Learn how to incorporate consistent practices and build a community of support.
It’s MUCH easier to avoid burnout than to recover from it. We start with your current personal and professional burnout inducers, and dive into best practices for self-care. This way, you can immediately begin to incorporate and practice new tools to preempt or alleviate burnout over the course of the program, and beyond.
At a deeper level, burnout can be exacerbated by patterns and socially conditioned thoughts we have been taught about ourselves. In this session, we will learn and practice tools for somatic (embodied) healing to release fear, old patterns and mindsets that work to limit our potential. These self-care healing practices can expand your ability to love and trust yourself – which are antidotes for burnout.
The gifts each of us has can be used to live a more purposeful, meaningful and ultimately, satisfying life. The research is clear that living a life with meaning and purpose is correlated not only with increased health and wellness, but also with longevity, in other words, a more sustainable life! We will tap into your intuitive guidance, gifts, and purpose to set you on your best self-care path towards a more fulfilling, sustainable life in which you can reach your true potential.
How do we ensure consistent use of the practices we learned? How can these techniques help us to suffer less and find our grounding more quickly? How do we increase social interactions to build community and create a support system for ourselves? This session serves to springboard your practice to promote ultimate success.

“Burnout” describes a general state of feeling worn out physically, mentally, and/or emotionally. It typically manifests as feeling useless, powerless, hopeless, or numb/empty inside, at work or at home.
Burnout can negatively impact personal and professional lives and relationships – even outside of the environments where the feelings might originate. It can have disastrous effects on one’s capacity and ability to function as a successful leader and/or employee.
Recent studies claim that up to 90% of employees are currently experiencing some form of burnout, and burnout is on the rise. In the workplace, burnout can be experienced by leaders, administrators, staff, employees, among others. It often results in a lack of focus, an increase in sick days, and high or increased turnover rates.
Some signs are not always so obvious and burnout can result in long-term mental and physical stress symptoms such as: exhaustion, anxiety, high blood pressure, sleep deprivation, or worse.
Burnout is not simply an individual issue. The reality is that companies without systems to support their employees’ well-being are leaving themselves vulnerable to low productivity, lack of engagement, lack of innovation, and a weakened bottom line.
The Overcoming Burnout: INNER Self-Care Solutions program is designed specifically to help mid- to large-sized organizations address this challenge. It goes beyond temporary solutions, equipping both individuals and teams with the tools, training, and cultural shifts needed to build a more viable and resilient workforce.
The results are scalable, resource-conscious, and aligned with operational needs so that change is not only effective, but sustainable.
Most programs focus only on physical self-care like nutrition, water, sleep, exercise, etc. – but they do not go beyond those initial steps. In tandem with the physical self-care, the Overcoming Burnout: INNER Self-Care Solutions program really focuses on shifting mindset and retraining the brain.
The result is a pivot from the negative goal-limiting thoughts and beliefs we all experience towards a healthier, more sustainable approach to life and work that’s filled with self-compassion, self-love, and self-confidence.
These thoughtful shifts can halt burnout in its tracks which means fewer sick days, less turnover, and therefore a healthier, more robust bottom line for your organization or campus.
The Overcoming Burnout: INNER Self-Care Solutions program is a 4-part series designed to help mid- to large-sized organizations, businesses, or campuses with burnout prevention. Each part is offered once/week either in person or virtually. That said, there are two separate versions: the Full version and the Lunch&Learn version.
Both versions provide tools for preempting or alleviating burnout, time to practice those tools, and are taught by Dr. Samuels. The Lunch&Learn format is offered in a shorter format (75 minutes/session compared to 2-2.5 hours/session in the Full version). The Lunch&Learn version can be offered at lunchtime or at the end of the day, depending on your organization’s specific needs.
If there are additional needs for flexibility, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate you to the best of our ability.
