Quotes
- “Do you feel like you’re living and working within your values?”
- “Values and fairness are the two main reasons why people get burned out.”
- “And when you feel like you’re growing towards a core value or a belief, a mission, your own personal mission, of where you wanna be in your career, of what you want to do that would really give you a sense of passion, burnout will trickle away, because it’s a bigger picture.”
- “We know that in Australia, 50 to 60% of people experience burnout at work.”
