Please consider joining us for a discussion on one of our specific Summit workshops. Our second session will be the session, I'm Tired, I'm Stressed, I'm Hungry and I Don't Want to go to Work! During this session, we will unpack some of what Jenny discussed guided by the following questions:

  • Why is should burnout matter to you (3:48)? How does the feeling of being burnt out impact your work with students and/or coworkers?
  • What makes you feel valued as an advisor and connected to your work? Taylor discussed the Burnout Thermometer that illustrates the different impact of level of burnout (10:48). How do you know when you are experiencing burnout and what are some strategies you use to cope?
  • There is a quote about true self-care (25:44) that talks about the importance of building a life you don’t feel you need to regularly escape from. How did this resonate with you and your attempts at avoiding burnout?
  • There is a level of personal choice and building connections that support burnout (37:09); how can we make choices and find connections in the advising community that support our own self-care and reduce burnout?

Consider a full rewatch (available on our website), follow the timestamps provided with the questions, or just join in the conversation!  

Facilitator(s): Taylor Gnagi (KSU), Victoria Surdu (KSU)
