S03E10 (#338). About 15 years ago Katrina Alcorn suffered from burnout while managing a team of designers and raising a family. Drawing from her own experience, Katrina highlights during our conversation the importance of autonomy, connection, as well as purpose in the workplace.

We discuss the ways in which burnout can be avoided and how to create a supportive workplace. Katrina emphasised the need for clear communication, flexible work policies, and healthy team dynamics.

“We spend a lot of our lives with our coworkers, so I think the connection is important, and then the feeling of purpose. Am I working on something that matters?” – Katrina Alcorn
