In-person: Burnout Prevention for Project Managers: Practical Tools for an Unsustainable Pace
Project Managers often carry the hidden weight of making the impossible happen: fighting fires, smoothing over chaos, and managing up to leaders who may not fully grasp what’s realistic. That kind of invisible labor takes a toll. In this 60-minute interactive workshop, you’ll begin with a mini version of the Leadership Capacity Assessment: a quick self-check to identify where your burnout risk is highest. (Hint: it’s not always about doing too much. Sometimes it’s about being the only one who sees what’s coming, with no time or space to plan for it.)
Using your results, we’ll dive into the real-world pressures PMs face and teach practical, sustainable strategies to restore capacity without relying on generic “self-care.” You’ll leave with tools you can use immediately to manage stress in real time, speak up about unreasonable expectations, and protect your ability to lead projects without draining yourself dry. Often the best way to prevent burnout isn’t to do less. It’s to do what matters, with more support and less self-silencing.
