Understanding Founder Burnout

Have you experienced workplace stress and burnout?

Join our panel talk with 4 holistic health experts in mental health, counselling, nutrition, and physical wellness.

The topic of workplace wellness has been top-of-mind, even since before the pandemic struck. Compounded with the negative impact COVID has had on business, it's easy for work to become one of our main sources of stress.

A 2021 study by the American Psychological Association Startup found that close to 60% of employees exhibit signs of stress and burnout. Founders and small business owners are especially susceptible to burnout, due to the 24/7 nature of their roles.

If you're wondering how you can navigate stress, prevent burnout and translate this into your business, then this event is for you.
