“It’s not just a little flame; it is this huge conflagration. More people are experiencing this. And it’s the rate and the pace of change of what’s being required of us,” says Eileen McDargh, founder and CEO of The Resiliency Group. In this episode, Eileen, a renowned facilitator, author, and coach, discusses the importance of resilience in managing burnout and maintaining energy. Her extensive experience aids organizations and individuals in developing their resilience capacities.
Eileen traces her interest in resilience to her personal battle with corporate burnout, an experience that led to her first book and has informed her career. Her continued exploration of this theme is evident in her latest publication, "Burnout to Breakthrough," where she tackles the growing prevalence of burnout in today's fast-paced work environments and highlights the necessity of resilience for energy management.
Throughout the episode, Eileen underscores the importance of building resilience, both personally and organizationally, to effectively handle continual challenges and shifts. She illustrates how resilience acts as a critical mechanism for enhancing performance and overall well-being in the workplace.
Quotes
“We'd like to think we understand this. Burnout—it's not just a little flame, it is this huge conflagration. And more people are experiencing this. It's the rate and the pace of change of what's being required of us. I think we have forgotten self-care. And we have forgotten how to care for others.” (11:14 | Eileen McDargh)
“I define resiliency as energy management.” (12:34 | Eileen McDargh)
“I don’t want to be a chief executive officer. I want to be the chief energy officer… Yes, I’m an energy officer, and I want to find out ways in which I can help my customers, my clients, my audiences find ways that allow them to tap into what is the best of them or how do they begin to move forward. Because ultimately, resiliency is also not about bouncing back, which is what the dictionary tells us. That's fine, but not for human beings.” (20:55 | Eileen McDargh)
