Conversations on Wellbeing at Work: Moving From Burnout to Capacity to Thriving: A Journey with Jan Heckscher, Director at Jan Heckscher Solutions

What happens when the relentless pursuit of success leaves you feeling burned-out and empty?

Our guest, Jan Heckscher, Director at Jan Heckscher Solutions, knows first- hand what it’s like to fall victim to workplace stress and the toll it can take.  She shares her personal struggle with self-esteem and how this experience with burnout at a renowned hotel chain has crafted her approach to work and life today.

Jan discusses the importance of understanding that everyone experiences burnout differently, and how managing it involves not just a change of pace, but in many cases, a shift in self-perception.

Leadership isn’t just about driving results; it’s about nurturing one’s well-being and setting the tone for a balanced, thriving work environment.  Jan emphasizes how critical it is for leaders to prioritize their well-being and provides practical tips on achieving this, such as time spent in nature, regular exercise, cultivating a strong support system, and rest.

Our conversation concludes with  Jan discussing the power of her Reiki based energy work both in person and  online, a practice she adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic. She explains how this energy work has allowed her to foster deeper connections and support for individuals across the globe.

Join us on this podcast to get a glimpse of how Jan’s journey from burnout to thriving at work can inspire you to find your own path to balance and fulfillment.  Better yet attend our upcoming Melbourne Summit, meet Jan and experience her energy work in person at the event.
