In a recent Gallup poll, it was revealed that a staggering 29% of employees frequently experience burnout. That feeling of being overwhelmed and exhausted is all too familiar. But what exactly is burnout, and how does it manifest? Today, we're breaking down burnout into its three main dimensions: Depletion of Energy: We all know that feeling of dragging ourselves to the next meeting or task, barely able to muster any energy. If you find yourself constantly drained and devoid of your usual enthusiasm, this might be the first sign of burnout. Cynicism Towards Work: Have you noticed an increase in complaints about your job or tasks that never used to bother you? If negativity and complaints are becoming more frequent companions, they could be symptoms of burgeoning burnout.

Episode Highlights:Shaina Keren is a career coach, but her path to this point was not a straight one. She spent the first decade and then some as a teacher in the education field. After some intense self-reflection and research, she found herself connected with Nicholas Lore, the author of The Pathfinder, and on her way to becoming the brilliant career coach she is today.When it comes to mentors, Shaina has grouped them into three categories. There is the kind you'll never meet, the kind you pay to meet, and the kind that are “right at the top” of the hills you find yourself wanting to climb. Her two most notable mentors have been Nicholas Lore and Jacob Engle. Each has guided her along her journey as a career coach. Shaina offers many pieces of advice for those looking for the right career for themselves. First, imagine your ideal self outside of the constraints of your current reality, then figure out what you take from that image and make it work in the real world. Next, just take a personality test. There are plenty of free quizzes available, and they can work well as a tool to self-discovery. Finally, your resume should not be your whole life history. Tailor your resume to the positions to which you're applying. Episode Links:ShainaKeren.comCareer QuizLinkedInBooksThe Choice by Dr. Edith EgerThe Pathfinder by Nicholas LoreI Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit SethiFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor: Website and Blog: thedmmentor.com Instagram: @thedmmentor Linkedin: @thedmmentor YouTube: @thedmmentor Interested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

This week, Monday Motivation delves into the fundamental topic for leaders and coaches in any professional setting – building authentic connections. Often, the art of forging powerful and genuine relationships at work is impeded by the narratives we've constructed within ourselves. These narratives might have originated from past experiences or even the opinions of others, but they often stand in the way of us fully expressing our true selves. Intrinsically tied to fostering sincere connections is a mindset shift towards openness, attentive listening, and the discovery of common ground. Being authentic at work isn't just about being honest – it encompasses aligning with your core values, embracing your passions, and showcasing your unique personality. Additionally, it involves acknowledging your missteps and demonstrating vulnerability when the situation warrants it. Dive into our resources online and get one-on-one with our certified coaches.
