Escape Burnout Culture: Lindsay Barnett on How to 'Work Well' and Craft Your Dream Job

Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or completely burned out by your job? You're not alone. With a staggering 77% of professionals experiencing burnout, the modern workplace can often feel like a minefield of exhaustion and dissatisfaction. But what if you had the power to fundamentally change your relationship with work, starting today?

In this episode, we sit down with workplace experience expert and author Lindsay Barnett to discuss the empowering, evidence-based methods from her book, "Working Hell to Working Well." Lindsay provides a roadmap for taking back control of your happiness and building a professional life that is fulfilling and sustainable.

This isn't about waiting for your company to change; it's about making intentional choices to reshape your own experience from the ground up.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The Truth About Mindfulness: Discover what mindfulness at work really is (hint: it's not about yoga mats and meditation) and how to use it as a powerful tool to create space between a trigger and your response.

• The Art of Being Genuine: Learn how to draw the line between being your authentic self and maintaining your professional image, using connection and intention as your guide.

• Practical Habit Building: Uncover simple, actionable ways to weave moments of mindfulness into your busiest days, using "habit bundling" to create powerful micro-habits that stick.

• What is "Job Crafting"?: Explore the transformative concept of proactively crafting your current role into something you love. Lindsay breaks down the first essential step: identifying your core needs (like her "three I's"—Interaction, Intellectual Challenge, and Impact).

• Navigating HR and Difficult Conversations: Get an insider's perspective on the role of Human Resources and how to advocate for yourself effectively within the corporate structure.

This conversation is for anyone ready to move from feeling powerless to feeling empowered. If you're ready to stop surviving and start thriving in your career, this is the episode you need to hear.
