Stop burning out Designers: Creating Supportive Workplaces for All

Research shows stress levels among workers worldwide are at an all-time high. Parents and caregivers are often on the front lines of this trend. Add to that the fast-paced chaos of the tech industry, and you have a recipe for a lot of burned out designers! In this talk, I will delve into my personal experience with burnout which culminated in the publication of my award-winning book on the subject a decade ago.

What you’ll learn:

  • Workplace conditions that lead to burnout
  • What you can do to thrive as an individual
  • What you can do to pay it forward for your team
