TDM Library Webinar: "From Exhausted to Engaged: Practical Steps to Prevent Burnout"

Webinars Nov 19, 2025

Burnout is not a personal failure—it is a workplace signal. And it is one that leaders can no longer ignore. Across industries, teams are stretched thin, managers are overwhelmed, and high performers are quietly disengaging. Burnout shows up not just in employee well-being, but in missed goals, eroded trust, and cultures that struggle to retain top talent. 

In this high-impact, action-oriented session, Jackie Ferguson—Vice President of Content & Programming at The Diversity Movement, bestselling author, and host of the Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox podcast—shares three simple, evidence-informed strategies that leaders and employees can implement immediately to reduce burnout and create a culture of sustainable performance. 

Jackie will help you identify the real organizational drivers of burnout—and show how clarity, care, and connection can be activated through small, consistent actions at every level of the business. 

You Will Learn: 

  • How to talk about bandwidth and normalize conversations about capacity and support—without stigma or guilt. 
  • When to give (and ask for) control with autonomy, prioritization, and flexibility to reduce stress and boost engagement. 
  • How aligning tasks to personal strengths boosts performance and protects energy. 
  • How to know your people beyond the job to understand what drives—or drains—them and respond with compassion when life spills into work. 

Burnout doesn’t disappear overnight—but change starts with one intentional action. In this session, you’ll learn how small shifts in communication, connection, and leadership can spark lasting transformation—for yourself, your team, and your culture.
