Participants will reflect on their “why” or their inner motivation for doing the work they are doing and how to better connect their why to their everyday work to become happier and healthier versions of themselves.

ObjectivesThis training will help you:• Describe factors that increase the likelihood that burnout may become a problem• Identify signals that indicate burnout is beginning• Reflect on their inner motivation for completing their role• Initiate a new self-care plan that includes healthy boundaries
