Episode 52: The One About Mental Resiliency

Work can be hard. It can be stressful. Consulting in particular is full of A-Types who work long, busy hours trying to help in often frustrating client situations. What if you break?

Each person’s ability to handle things is different, with some having deeper mental capacity buckets than others. At some point, however, most people have experienced that bucket filling up and overflowing.

What happens when you run so hot for so long that you start to burn out? More importantly, how do you bounce back? How resilient can you be? How far can you stretch that stress rubber band without snapping it?

I wanted to chat about this with my smart friends. Of course, while none of us is a medical professional (and mental health should be taken very seriously), we had some thoughts and anecdotes to share around how to be more mentally resilient.

In this episode:

  • Why does mental resiliency matter?
  • What are some ways to avoid mental exhaustion and burnout?
  • When you do break down, how do you bounce back?
  • What are some tips for increasing your resiliency?
