There is the potential for 'heroic' overworking and burnout, or struggling to find the capacity to address other areas of our lives. In these times, how can we support healthcare professionals to create more balance in their every day? In this episode we are in conversation with coaches Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier and Kathleen Sullivan. Our discussion draws on neuroscience and coaching as we explore some practical approaches to finding balance amidst the ongoing crisis. Biographies: Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier is a neuroscientist, and productivity and wellbeing expert. She is the author and inventor of the GridTM work-life balance method. Magdalena joins up theory, research and practitioner insights, creating new practical approaches that optimise human health and performance. Kathleen Sullivan is a Senior Coach for the PSU and an Associate with Career Planning for Doctors and Dentists.
