What is this event about?

With challenging workplace conditions, as we respond to the pandemic, statistics have shown an increase in stress and anxiety for employees as they strive to adapt. Prolonged exposure to stress can result in mental health challenges such as burnout. Recent academic research has shone a light on a way forward for coaches to work with burnout as defined by the World Health Organization, within their competency and respectful of ethical professional boundaries.

The objective of this workshop is to inform attendees through exploring the research findings so that they may further understand and identify burnout in their clients. It will empower coaches to effectively work with clients to determine a path forward that serves their wellbeing and goals abiding by our EMCC code of ethics.
