We had an anonymous improve it! peep call in and ask about burnout - something we all know a little bit too well, and what our best advice is for preventing it and how to make burnout prevention a company-wide initiative.

It has a little something to do with LSD (and that’s Light Saver Day, mind you).

In today’s episode, Erin gives you a solo activity called “Light Savers” to prevent burnout from the source & a group activity called “Light Saver Day” to prevent burnout in your team.

Erin also shares:
