San Diego, the Del Coronado hotel, and an international group of life insurance professionals. Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of speaking to this group on two topics:\u00a0 How to Stop Burnout, and Presentation Skills. As I stood on the stage in the Crown Room&#8211;underneath an impressive crown&#8211;I felt so lucky to be there and grateful for what I learned from this audience.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the issues that were leading to burnout included:\u00a0 trouble sleeping, feeling tired and sometimes afraid, losing weight, feeling overwhelmed and lacking in confidence. As we went through strategies to lessen burnout, individuals choose to exercise, keep a sense of humor, listen to music, learn how to turn work off, and to team up with others so that they weren&#8217;t facing work challenges alone.<\/p>\n<p>For the afternoon breakout session, &#8220;Stand Out Every Time You Talk&#8221;, we practiced solid eye contact, and how gestures make your ideas come alive. Everyone had a chance to see themselves using gestures to describe, differentiate and emphasize key points. We talked about how to run an effective Q&amp;A session, and what to do if the audience tunes out or is distracted.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, it was a magical place. I had never given much thought or attention to palm trees, but I fell in love with their variety, elegance, and delicate fronds dancing in the wind. The place itself&#8211;with flowers everywhere&#8211;was an amazing burnout buster. I hope everyone went home energized and ready to use their new connections and knowledge to have their best year ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How bad could it be?
