038: Burnout No More For Healthcare Professionals with Athol Hann
In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Athol Hann. He’s a Clinical Emergency Nurse, Founder of AtholTech, and fwards app and known for his Burnout No More courses.
Athol experienced first-hand what burnout feels like for healthcare professionals and started questioning if he can stay with his profession in the long run.
Surprisingly, he wasn’t aware that he was experiencing burnout until he had hateful feelings towards work. He went from someone who loves the nursing profession to someone who hated it.
All the little stress in the workplace piled up, and he knew that something needs to be done otherwise he might end up harming himself or others.
He eventually developed a process that allowed him to better deal with burnout and this gave rise to the Burnout No More Courses. He encourages nurses to tune in with themselves, write journals and ask for colleagues’ help.
Nurses share the same stress and problems in the workplace, it’s a powerful strategy to learn how others are coping with burnout. They have to realize that they’re not alone and doing so helps boost their morale and guides them out of the burnout pit.
