Episode 26: Using Stories to Beat Workplace Burnout

Today, we have a remarkable guest, Terrence Gargulo, joining us to delve into their recent webinar, "Using Stories to Beat Workplace Burnout."

Terrence, a facilitator of meaningful moments that connect people heart to heart through the power of stories, brings a unique perspective to our discussion.

In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of Learning and Development, where the focus is shifting away from content-centric approaches towards flexible learning architectures that anticipate the performance support needed by individuals. Terrence sheds light on this transformation and its implications.

He also shares an exciting project on the horizon: launching a Business Transformation advisory firm, "Gravitas Transformation," that prioritizes the people side of organizational changes.

We dive into the key takeaways from their recent webinar, emphasizing that burnout is often a result of the decisions we make and providing valuable insights on how to avoid it.

Throughout the episode, we ask Terrence a series of content-specific questions related to the webinar. He discusses the three pillars of storytelling—story listening, storytelling, and story thinking—exploring how these skills can be measured and developed. He also addresses the role of these skills in combating burnout and why burnout is often the story we tell ourselves.

Furthermore, we learn how corporate leaders can address and prevent burnout in their organizations and gain a valuable piece of advice for individuals dealing with burnout: streamline decision-making to eliminate, delegate, and automate tasks.

Join us in this insightful conversation with Terrence Gargulo as we explore the power of storytelling in the workplace and how it can help us beat burnout. Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in the world of Learning and Development.
