A 2022 survey of 20,000 people found that 50% of employees and 53% of managers reported feeling burnt out at work. How do you recognize the signs of team (or individual) burnout? And how do you address it? What strategies do you employ to manage your own energy levels to ward off feeling drained and unmotivated? This session will be a space to share ideas and approaches to burnout. We'll be talking about self-care strategies to manage our own burnout and ways that we can engage with our teams to ensure that we're helping them navigate their own stress and mental exhaustion. 

New to Management Affinity Group Leader

Elizabeth Erbeznik (she/her) is an international educator with nearly two decades of experience in higher education. Her first role in education involved teaching English to middle schoolers as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar. (Had her Malagasy colleagues done a performance review of her teaching abilities back then, she'd have been placed squarely in the "needs improvement" phase.) She then went on to earn a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Texas at Austin. After spending several years teaching college-level French and leading study abroad programs in Paris and Bordeaux, she took a role in the Academic Affairs department at WorldStrides (originally ISA) in 2015. She loves onboarding new colleagues, setting goals, meeting quarterly objectives, and collaborating with her team to ensure that they're supporting student learning on all their programs. In her spare time, she thrives by hanging out with her family in Austin, TX, reading, writing short stories, and traveling.
