How to Overcome Startup Founder Burnout with Kari Sulenes (July 26, 2023)
Virtual · ZoomAccording to a recent report, half of all entrepreneurs experience feelings of burnout.
In one survey, 63% of business owners reported that they’ve dealt with or are currently dealing with burnout. The survey showed that a variety of emotional factors negatively impact entrepreneurs and accelerate burnout, including financial concerns (22%), work-life balance (15%), and day-to-day stress (15%).
As an executive coach, therapist, and partner at Alpha Bridge Ventures Kari Sulenes knows these statistics well. She’s dedicated her career to addressing startup founder burnout and the stigma some feel around mental health in the workplace.
“People know what burnout is. You can Google it,” Kari says. “But addressing it is harder. Burnout gets sustained through shame and not sharing the challenges you’re facing.”
In a webinar for Founders Network Kari will share strategies for overcoming startup founder burnout. In the interactive session, attendees will:
- Learn why managing your psychology is crucial as a founder and leader
- Build resilience-bolstering rapport with your peers
- Learn the signs of burnout and how to mitigate them
- Explore commitments you might make to prevent burnout in yourself and your teams
- Gain access to resources to support your burnout-proofing journey
